Our Bloom Series has officially launched! 🌷
Inspired by spring blooms and the quiet reset that comes with a new season, this series introduces three brand new colourways, each one tied to a flower and engraved directly onto the blade: Blue Eyed Grass, Canadian Milkvetch, and Trilliums.

Something new is Blooming!
Stay tuned for a fresh new line of our lightest and most versatile scissors, coming 4.16.2026 🌸
If you’ve ever tried cutting flowers with any scissor nearby, you’ve seen how stems are crushed instead of cut. Our Midnight Pruning Shears are designed to help. They’re crafted from carbon steel, meaning they are able to cut through thicker stems without damaging them.
Have you ever picked up your scissors and thought, why don’t these feel as smooth as they used to? It could also be the pivot!
The pivot is the quiet hero of your scissors where both blades meet.
Because the pivot is where movement happens, it needs a bit of lubrication to keep everything smooth.
Are you tired of creeping hands always swiping your fabric shears when you're not looking? We have the solution for you!
Introducing Lock-Away, the fast and easy way secure your scissors.
The Lock-Away is available for a limited time for 1 low payment of $9.99, plus shipping and handling.
What's the difference between thread snips and small scissors? It comes down to a matter of degrees.
What it boils down to is: thread snips have flatter angles because they are designed to cut thinner materials like thread; small scissors have steeper angles because they're designed to cut fabric.
We’re packing our scissors and heading to Knit City in Toronto from March 27-29!
Come say hi, talk tools, and celebrate yarn crafts with us at booth #307.
What are you making right now? ✂️
As a family-owned business, we get so excited seeing our tools reach so many hands around the world.
The fact that we get to witness our tools as a part of your creative process is what keeps us dedicated to making!
Curved scissors are designed so the curve of the blade rests on top of the fabric or surface, rather than the point of the scissors pushing into your project. That small difference makes it easier to trim tiny yarn tails and threads without poking, snagging, or cutting the surrounding fibres.
We love a project that you can finish in one sitting, with just a skein or two of yarn, a comfortable chair, and a quiet afternoon to focus on the slow rhythm of making.
Yarn crafts are some of the most meditative forms of crafting. The process naturally encourages you to slow down.
For every cast-off, fringe trim, and final thread ✂️
Our Midnight Edition Thread Snips are made for yarn crafts of every kind. Here's how to get the most out of your thread snips!
