For those who prefer a minimalist or industrial look, the Merchant and Mills Black Bulb Pins are the perfect choice!
These coilless safety pins feature a unique pear-shaped design that is both modern and incredibly practical for garment finishing. Already pear shaped so nothing can go wrong! The bulb pin lets a tag hang tidily from a safety pin and is perfectly simple.
The absence of a coil at the base means these pins can be used on the most delicate knits and fine fabrics without any risk of snagging—a common and frustrating issue with traditional safety pins. This makes them an essential tool for knitters and crocheters.
– 21mm long
– Approximately 100 per box
In the sewing room, they are perfect for keeping pattern pieces together or marking fit adjustments during a toile stage. The matte black finish is sophisticated and subtle, making these pins a favourite for professional designers for attaching price tags.
They are made from durable steel with a smooth coating, ensuring they remain reliable and rust-free. Like all Merchant and Mills products, they come in signature utilitarian packaging, making them a great small gift for any maker who appreciates functional style.
