How to Measure Ring Size with Yarn

Published in Ring Size Measurement 2 mins read

You can easily determine your ring size using yarn and a tape measure! Here's how:

Step-by-Step Guide: Measuring Your Ring Size with Yarn

  1. Wrap the Yarn: Wrap a piece of yarn snugly around the base of your desired finger (typically the ring finger). Ensure the yarn is comfortable but not too tight. [Reference 1: To measure yourself, wrap the yarn around your desired ring finger.]

  2. Mark the Yarn: Overlap the yarn end to create a complete circle around your finger and mark the point where the yarn meets. You can use a pen or simply cut the yarn at that point.

  3. Measure the Yarn: Lay the yarn flat and measure its length using a tape measure. Record this measurement in millimeters or inches. [Reference 2: Laying your yarn flat, measure it against your tape.]

  4. Find Your Ring Size: Use an online ring size chart to convert your yarn measurement into a ring size. Many jewelry websites provide these charts. Remember to specify whether your measurement is in millimeters or inches. [Reference 3: Now that you have your finger circumference you can compare it to the size chart on the site you're purchasing from!]

Tips for Accurate Measurement

  • Use the Right Yarn: Employ a relatively thin yarn that won't add bulk to your finger measurement.
  • Multiple Measurements: Take several measurements to ensure accuracy. Average the results for a more precise size.
  • Consider Finger Size Variation: Remember that finger size can vary slightly throughout the day.
  • Check the Ring Size Chart: Always refer to the specific ring size chart provided by the vendor where you plan to purchase your ring. Different vendors may use slightly different sizing standards.
