SOHMO Entomology Pins - Pack of 100 in tin
The finest pin on the market - 0.45mm. Originally made for scientists. Adopted by sewists.
Entomology pins were developed for scientific specimen mounting - the precise, delicate work of pinning insects, butterflies, and botanical specimens for study and display without causing damage. That same ultra-fine spec - a 0.45mm stainless steel shank, barely thicker than a human hair - turns out to be exactly what sewists have been looking for when working with fabrics that ordinary pins simply cannot handle.
At 0.45mm in diameter, SOHMO Entomology Pins are significantly finer than standard dressmaking pins (typically 0.6mm or more). On silk, organza, chiffon, tulle, lace, fine cotton lawn, and other sheer or loosely woven fabrics, that difference is visible in the results: no snag marks, no distorted weave, no pin-sized holes left behind. They glide in and out of delicate fibres as though they were barely there.
The resin head makes them easy to grip and spot against fabric, a practical detail that matters when you're working with fine, light-coloured materials where a headless pin would disappear entirely. At 38mm long, they give you enough shaft to work with while remaining lightweight and unobtrusive in the fabric.
For entomologists, natural history hobbyists, and anyone mounting insect or botanical specimens: these are the standard stainless steel entomology pin used by collectors and scientists, packaged in a practical reusable tin rather than the foam blocks typically found in laboratory supply catalogues.
Packaged in a bright yellow sliding-lid tin - 100 pins, ready for the sewing room or the specimen board.
