It does look like the sticky bandage stuff with a little metal disc on the
end...or close to it. We need someone to try it.
I also have a Roxanne silver thimble. I do find that it is a bit looser in
the winter, but not enough to cause any problems. It seems to tighten up as
my finger heats it up.

That's curious, I've never seen one. It looks like that Ace bandage
stuff. I wonder
how tough it really is. Nothing hurts worse than jabbing a needle in
your finger. That's what would happen when my leather thimble started
to wear out.
I've bought thimble-its, leather thimbles, regular thimbles, silicone
thimbles, plastic
mold-to-your-finger thimbles. Then I bought a Roxanne, which I loved,
but I bought it in the summertime, and it's too big in the winter, and
I end up with the same problem as a regular thimble--I spend too much
time chasing the thimble down.
I really wish there was some way to make it fit better. They cost too
much to just run out and buy a smaller size.
