Choose Thimble Type

Roxanne's Thimble was developed following years of research into the perfect quilting thimble. The benefits of this thimble include:

Strength - hand die-cast in bronze and plated with sterling silver.

Open Face - the orthopedic design fits like an armoured glove around the fingertip yet the thimble accommodates long fingernails and allows moisture to evaporate.

 

 

Dimples - deep enough for excellent needle control.

Many sizes - the correct fit is important and most fingers will fit one of the fifteen sizes available.

 

There are three types of Roxanne Thimble available.

Roxanne's Silver-Plated Thimble. £35.00, Ref: 7400
Hand-cast bronze with silver plating.

 

Roxanne's Solid Silver Thimble. £75.00, Ref: 7401
An heirloom quality thimble: the unique feel of sterling silver cannot be bettered.

 

Roxanne's Solid Bronze Thimble. £58.50, Ref: 7402
A beautiful, antique appearance. The thimble warms quickly to hand temperature and is suited to those with metal allergies.

It is very important to obtain the correct fit for the Roxanne's Thimble. When you order a thimble we will send you a set of ring sizers. Follow the instructions supplied with the ring sizers then return them with your order in the pre-paid envelope. Your thimble will be despatched to you by "signed for" delivery (requires a signature). If you are not completely satisfied with the fit we will exchange it for a new size at no extra cost.
