A yardstick is a tool used to physically measure lengths of up to a yard (0.9144 metres or three feet) high.

Yardsticks may be used as pointing devices for posters and projections.

Yardsticks are also used as spars to make wings for Remote Controlled model aircraft that are made from corrugated plastic.

The term "yardstick" is also used metaphorically in reference to anything which serves as a test or standard of measurement, comparison or judgment

In terms of sewing, the yardstick is used to measure grain line when laying out the pattern on the fabric. Also used for measuring hemlines accurately.
