A thimble includes a flexible tapered sleeve and a crown. The sleeve has a frustoconical shape with a fluted sidewall. Multiple outwardly convex panels extend entirely around the sidewall. The sleeve has a mounting end opposite an opening for inserting a user's digit. The sleeve has a pitch of from 0.175 mm/mmL to 0.35 mm/mmL. The crown is formed of hard plastic material and is attached to the mounting end of the sleeve. The crown has a cap with an upper textured planar surface. A ridged sidewall extends entirely around the crown. Multiple longitudinal ridges extend from a lower edge of the sidewall to the cap. The thimble accommodates a variety of finger sizes and the crown prevents slippage of a sewing needle.
