Merchant & Mills Entomology Pins

For the most delicate and precise tasks in your sewing room, the Merchant and Mills Entomology Pins are unparalleled.

Originally developed for the meticulous work of mounting insects, these pins have become a secret weapon for couture dressmakers.

– 38mm x 0.45mm.
– Approx 100 pins per box.

When working with ultra-lightweight or luxury fabrics—such as silk chiffon, organza, or fine lawn—standard pins can leave visible holes or pull the delicate threads of the weave. Entomology pins are significantly thinner and sharper, gliding through without a trace.

Despite their slender profile, they are made from high-strength steel, so they won’t bend easily when pinning multiple layers. Their extra length also provides added stability when draping or fitting on a dress form during the design process.

These pins feature a tiny, unobtrusive head that won’t interfere with your shears or sewing machine foot. If you frequently work with “difficult” or expensive fabrics, these pins are an essential tool for maintaining the professional integrity of your work.
