Low vision details: 

• The main text is black 24pt sans serif and all text is black on a white background.
• No italics are used
• Images have alt text

Screen readers:
The low vision version is tagged to work with screen reading software and has been tested. Images have alt text. Abbreviations are used in the directions, they are defined but may be read aloud oddly. Numbers for multiple sizes are presented as lists of numbers within the text and may be difficult to keep track of when using a screen reader. If this is something you use we’d love your feedback on how we could improve the pattern formatting for screen readers.
