The Yarny Way Sock Ruler

Description

Slip this dreamy tool right into your sock while it’s still on the needles to easily measure when to start the toe—or if you’re a toe-up stitcher, when it’s time for that gusset or heel turn. With inches, centimeters, US women’s/men’s, and Euro shoe sizes laser-etched right on the ruler, you’ll always get a stellar fit—no guesswork, just sock magic.

This sock ruler is exact, meaning you can also stand on it to measure your true shoe size. For best accuracy, place it against a wall so your heel is aligned perfectly at the end. Then, subtract the recommended ease (about 10% for adult socks) to find your ideal stopping point.

We’ve done the math for you in these quick reference charts:

Each ruler is custom-made from sanded birch plywood by LBKmade in Lubbock, Texas, and finished with a food-safe “board butter” blend of mineral oil and beeswax. It adds a buttery-smooth touch that’s gentle, durable, and planet-friendly. No two are exactly alike—natural wood grain makes each one unique!
