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.

Naparstek – kapturek ochronny nakładany na palec podczas szycia. Zabezpiecza przed ukłuciem się igłą podczas wbijania jej w twardy materiał. Potocznie naparstkiem nazywa się niewielką ilość cieczy, taką by się zmieściło w naparstku – pojęcie to pochodzi z początków XIX wieku, gdy naparstki stosowano jako miarki do mocnego alkoholu.
