What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · October 1, 2026
This fold-out loupe has a 5x glass lens, 30mm wide, set in a sturdy metal frame, so small print, stitches, and fine details look bigger. Ruler markings in both inches and centimeters let you measure small parts as you look at them, which suits stitch counting and other close work. It folds flat and comes with a soft pouch, so it's easy to carry. At 5x it gives a modest boost, and you'll need to hold it or set it over what you're viewing.
