Using your Long Tail Alpaca Tape Measure is a breeze. Just gently pull on the alpaca's tail, and it'll extend into a tape measure for all your measuring needs, like checking the length of your yarn or the size of your knitting project. When not in use, carefully retract the tail back. Keep it away from sharp objects to prevent any damage to the tail tape. You can simply wipe it with a soft, dry cloth to clean it. Store it in a cool, dry place in your craft room or project bag to keep it in good shape.
