What it is

Summary

AI-generated from vendor-published content · October 1, 2026

This fold-out linen test magnifier has a glass lens that magnifies 6.5 times, with the viewing area about 20mm wide. The frame folds flat, and measuring marks in both inches and centimeters let you size up small parts or count stitches while you look. It suits close work like needlework or checking fine detail, and it slips into the included soft pouch for carrying. It's a small hand-held loupe, so you hold it steady over what you're viewing rather than wearing it or setting it on a stand.
