What is a "yardstick"?
A yardstick is a straight measuring tool used to measure length or distance, typically up to three feet or one yard. It is made of wood, metal, or plastic and has markings for inches, feet, and sometimes centimeters. Yardsticks are commonly used in tasks like drawing straight lines, measuring fabric, or checking dimensions in construction, sewing, or crafts. Its sturdy, rigid design makes it suitable for measuring longer distances accurately and providing a reliable guide for marking straight edges.
