After years of requests, Cocoknits have finally made their own version of a tape measure. The bright colors will ensure you can always find it in your project bag. The metal tape inside measures both inches and cm/mm (78 in / 2 m long), and has a metal tab on the end to keep it from retracting into the body of the tape measure.

Because Cocoknits is committed to avoiding plastic wherever possible, they manufactured it from a 100% biodegradable plant fiber (similar to the Cocoknits Needle Gauge, but not water soluble). The absence of a locking mechanism keeps them 100% plastic-free and reduces the likelihood of breakage.

Each tape measure is packaged in a reusable linen drawstring bag to minimize packaging waste.

• Made of PLA - 100% fiber waste called polylactic acid, which is made from fermented plant starch such as corn, beets, or sugar cane. It is 100% biodegradable and contains no plastic (this product can get wet; it is NOT water soluble)
• Packaged individually in a linen drawstring bag with Cocoknits logo
• Metal tab to keep tape from retracting into the body of the tape measure
• No locking mechanism keeps them 100% plastic-free and reduces the likelihood of breakage
• Dimensions:
  • casing: 2.5 x 2 x .5 in (6.5 x 5 x 1.27 cm)
  • metal tape: 78 in / 2 m long
