Addi’s Stitch Holder Safety Pins are great for keeping live stitches on hold while you go off and work on neighboring stitches. Think necklines, underarms, shoulders, and sleeves of sweaters, brims of ear flap hats, and gussets of mittens! These elongated metal safety pins can accommodate a large amount of stitches... And they're also handy for securing button-less cardigans and holding large shawls in place! Each one is 5.25 inches long and 0.75 inches wide.
