Thistle Threads
Goldwork Scissors - Large Fingerholes
Sold out
Visit product page →New! I was able to buy a pair of these about ten years ago and they have been my FAVORITE metal thread scissors of all time. The blades are small and they are the size of normal embroidery scissors. We have tried again and again to track them down. And we have!! They are from Italy and so I won't be able to get anymore of these for many months I assume. I have 95 pairs right now.
They have fine groves in the edges of the blade which is the best way to hold a piece of metal before cutting it and I have used them non-stop for 10 years for cutting silk purls, doing gold work, etc.

Thistle Threads
Pinzette Tweezer
$ 48.00
Visit product page →These are in stock
This is a wonderful ergonomic tweezer that is made for the couture industry for grabbing threads. It is one of my two go-to choices for pulling out threads, especially from whitework. It comes in its own little leather case, stamped with a floral design.
I did all the original testing of this tweezer, if you would like a copy of my analysis of these and whitework scissors, please email me at tricia@alum.mit.edu
