A thimble is a small protective covering worn on the finger, traditionally used during sewing to prevent the needle from pricking the skin and to help push needles through fabric more easily. It has been an important tool for sewing and needlework for centuries, as evidenced by its depiction in historical crafts documentation dating back to at least the 16th century.

指貫（ゆびぬき）とは、裁縫に使用する道具である。針のあたりやすべりを抑えるため、中指につけて使う。 指貫は指輪状のものと、指先にはめるキャップ状の二種類に分けられる。キャップ状の指貫は英語でシンブル（Thimble）(ティンブルとも)と呼ばれ、洋裁のまつり縫いなどに使われる。
