Ha, I was a little slow to get that one!
I always used ss until I saw what it does to galvanized chain.
I had never seen a black plastic one until a few hours ago! A friend had
bought an anchor line on ebay, and I noticed it in his truck. Only id was
Taiwan, but was a nice thimble w/ straps.

Doing a lot of sewing?

Why not SS? I don't think I've ever seen a black plastic one, but it would
be a good idea. Would be cheaper for the mfg's as well.

Are these available? It's easy to find white or translucent thimbles,
but
uv
eats them up so badly.
