Tape Measure Prym 150 cm

Tape Measure Prym 150 cm

This Prym tape measure comes in the classic double sided design, one side in cheerful yellow with black numbers, the other in bold red, green and white sections for quick reading. The tape rolls up compactly but stays flexible enough to wrap around any curve without kinking. You can see the sturdy metal tip at the end, which keeps the tape from fraying and makes it easy to hook onto a garment while measuring alone.

What is this tape measure made of

Prym makes this tape from a flexible material that keeps its shape wash after wash and use after use, so the numbers stay exactly where they should be. That dimensional stability is what sets a good tape measure apart from a cheap one that stretches over time and throws off your measurements. The printed markings on both sides are clear and easy to read, whether you are working in a bright studio or a dimly lit corner of your sewing room. It rolls up small enough to tuck into a sewing box, pocket or pencil case, so it travels with you wherever your projects go.
