What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · October 1, 2026
The Carson Linen Test Magnifier is a small metal fold-out magnifier that enlarges whatever is under it 6.5 times, with a 20mm viewing area. It's made for sewing, quilting, and other close work like counting stitches or checking fine details. Inches and centimeters are marked on the viewing area, so you can measure and convert between the two without a separate ruler. The frame folds up for carrying, and it comes with a soft storage pouch. At 20mm, the lens covers a small spot at a time, so it suits checking details more than reading long passages.
