a thimble is a device placed on the end of the finger to prevent poking oneself with a needle. They come in various sizes to fit different sized fingers.

a thimbleful is an imaginary amount typically, poetically used to denote a tiny amount of liquid, slightly more than a drop but certainly not enough to whet one's thirst.

A specific amount cannot be ascribed to a thimbleful, however it is most certainly closer in approximation to a teaspoon than to a cup.
