The Thimble for Those Allergic to Nickel

The Royal School of Needlework in England sells thimbles that are nickel free.

If you or a friend are allergic to metal jewelry, it's most like the nickel in the alloys you are reacting to, so these are a great find for someone who can't normally use a thimble.
