[Nfb-krafters-korner] circular needle question

Wed Aug 4 17:39:41 UTC 2010

A needle gauge is either made of plastic or metal.  It has holes in it, one 
hole for each needle size.  My gauge has the holes in a diagonal line and 
the sizes go from size 17 (largest to size 0 (smallest.  I pasted dimo 
labels at the 10, 8, 6 & 5 holes, and I'm quite used to the set up.  As the 
holes get smaller it is a tighter space so more difficult to fit Braille 
labels on it, so I just count.  Whe the needle cant go through a hole I back 
up one and I know what size needle I have.

For these really small needles, I don't know if there is a gauge that will 
tell you a triple 0 vs a double 0, you need to keep them seperated from 
other needles and find a way to label what you keep them in.
