This Auction Listing is for one Rare Antique Knitting Needle Gauge Viyella Needle Gauge and Knitting Recorder. Larger sizes of needles are measured in the chromed top of the drum – from sizes 1-7 UK Imperial, which is 7.5mm-4.5mm or US 10 1/2 – 7. Turn it over, and you can measure from sizes 8-17 UK Imperial. he top and bottom of the drum, where the needle gauges are found, rotate just like a modern row counter. The numbers are painted on the barrel and a little wind...ow in the side of the drum lid reveals each number in turn. A spring wound around the central pin in the drum keeps the ends tensioned so the numbers move smoothly yet won’t slip.
