Spilli per seta 1-1/16", nichel, 200 pz.

The tips are sharp enough to glide through a slippery silk charmeuse without a single pull, and the nickel plating means no rust worries even after I left them in a damp pincushion overnight. Two hundred pins for the price is a steal for anyone who sews delicate fabrics regularly.

Finally, a pin that doesn't snag or leave rust marks on my delicate silk blouses—the nickel-plated brass is truly smooth and rustproof. I used them on a slippery polyester lining too, and they held perfectly without leaving holes.

The nickel plating on these pins is smooth enough to push through a double layer of slippery polyester without snagging once, and the brass core gives them a nice sturdy feel. Two hundred pins in a tin means I won't be reordering for a long while, which is exactly what I wanted.
