This tape measures both inches and cm/mm (78" / 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, we manufactured it from PLA, a 100% biodegradable plant fiber (similar to their 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.
Use: The tape measure does not have a locking mechanism, so hold the metal tab or the tape at the body to keep it extended.
Dimensions: Casing: 2.5 x 2 x .5" (6.5 x 5 x 1.27 cm) with 78" (2m) long metal tape
Care: This PLA is not water soluble, so the tape measure can be submerged in water without causing change in the material.
