The cobbling measuring cord is a fluff crafting script that applies to miscellaneous items, and is part of the Cobbling items and Cobbling tools families of scripts. It is purchased from a cobbling supply shop. It records the measurement of a person's foot to ensure that cobbled footwear is made to be a perfect fit.

Analyze

You analyze the knotted cord and sense that there is no recorded information on that item.  It may or may not be able to be worked on by a merchant alterer.

You get no sense of whether or not the cord may be further lightened.

Additional Information

A measuring cord is used to record the measurement of a person's foot to ensure that the cobbled footwear is made to be a perfect fit. Wearing cobbled footwear that has been measured for a character adds slightly different messaging when wearing or removing the footwear.

It is also used early in the cobbling process in a cobbling workshop. After chalk has been used to mark a pattern, use MEASURE (material) before cutting it with a cutting knife to ensure that it is the appropriate length.
