I’ve had the iconic Lantern Moon sheep tape measure for several years. Several of them, actually, one for each knitting bag.
When these first came out, they were sold to stores in packages of 12, with one black sheep in every batch. The elusive black sheep was hard to get! But it was my favorite gift to tuck into a young knitter’s first knitting bag. It’s a little easier now; Lantern Moon is currently wholesaling these to stores in all black sets while supplies last. Ask for one (or more) at your favorite yarn store.
The very newest sheep are beige and brown. You can see them here. Add them to your flock!
Sheep not your thing? Lantern Moon has added more cute tape measures to the line up. Here are a couple friends of the sheep. There are a lot more.
And here are some of the latest. I saw some at my local yarn shop last week, so I know they’re out there!
In case you need to coordinate your kitty tape measure’s yarn ball with your bag or project, you’ll be glad to know that they come in several colors.
Knit on!





I have the black sheep and Love it. It’s adorable.
I love the sheep but would do anything for an owl.
