What is the length of the pins? I want them for holding stitches when I knit, esp. thumb stitches when I make mittens.

I wrote this as a separate answer in case you did not see that I edited my first reply. In the past, I bought the pink pins and the black ones. They are just over 2 inches long. I am really skeptical that the pins would be 3 or 4 inches long. The part of the pin that would hold your fabric or stitching would be shorter than the total length of the pin. That part available would be about 1 and 1/4 inches long. The two ends of the pin would not be available to hold anything. If I explained it properly.

It seems that the pins are all different lengths, according to their color. The assorted color that you are asking about says 3 x 2.7 x 0.5 inches. After you select the color of the pins that you want, scroll down to the section that says Technical Details where it mentions the length of the pins. The orange ones say 4 inches long. The black ones say 2.6 inches. The green ones say 2.8 inches. Most of them say 3 inches long. In the past, I bought the pink pins and the black ones. They are just over 2 inches long. I am really skeptical that the pins would be 3 or 4 inches long.

The overall length of the pins is 2 1/4". The part that would be useable to hold stitches measures 1 1/14". The pins are heavy duty metal and do not bend much except enough to catch the top. You have to push down on the pin to close or open it to get around the safety catch. Hope this helps you make a decision.

These are pins. I would not suggest ordering from this company since they are not a fast company. I ordered it on the 28th of October and received the item November 13. I needed these items quickly and stressed that in an email and the company failed.

I love mine and should be fine for threads and I used mine for clipping yarn at a woolen mill. Just use them for that said threads and they will stay scrap for that use......

These pins are not the same sizes as the manufacturer's pins . I bought one kit and retuned it and bought a rekeying kit with all manufacturers pins and the tool for about $24. On Amazon e builders supply. Very fast service from them

Buy the Rousseau standard set of red+grey+pin (#3509-IR) and "rout" them the size you need. Rousseau sells them for $9.00+ about $2.50 shipping.

I use the glove on my left hand for knitting. Take hold at the wrist and pull the glove completely inside out (just like turning a sock). Although, the thumb area has "stays" in it, they turn easily with a small adjustment at the end of the thumb compartment. Hope this helps. Marjory Overholt

Not sure as I purchased this item as a gift...I assumed the pins were not included.

I really like snap pins as they work very well. Amazon has an Excellent return policy so I would order them and if they do not fit then order the correct size. I suspect they will work however. Good Luck. I would measure for you but my unit is about an hour and half away from where I live.

I think they are one size fits all. You just bend them around your fingers. Sorry ... I can't find mine right now, but I don't remember seeing any size indication on them.

Last question first. The "needles" are actually nails. I use a crochet hook to loop yarn over. If you use a thin yarn the fabric will be loose and stretchy and wider because of the stretch, up to 36 inches. A thick yarn will make a thick tight fabric around 30 inches in width. To knit the nails are wrapped with yarn then wrapped again. Bottom thread is pulled up over the the top thread. If you have ever "spool knit" using a spool with four nails and pulling the rope through the hole of the needle this will be a breeze because it is exactly the same thing on a large scale. You can make this as small as the four nails like on a spool and just use four nails on the knitting board or as wide as the board. Just depends on how many nails you use. You can make the fabric as long or as short as you want just keep knitting for the length. It is very easy. The board makes a double knit fabric. I hope this has helped you a bit. If you have any other questions I'll be happy to try and answer them. Ginny

I am not sure about the question exactly, but you might buy the small size because I bought a larges size. BTW, even if you buy a large size, you can remove the pins as many I believe as you need, so might as well order a small size. I hope my answer is helpful :-)

The 4 pins are approximately 1 inch long The middle pins are approximately 3 1/2 inches from the center of the pad and are offset to one side. The end pins are approximately 9 1/2 inches from the center of the pad and are centered.

I don't know. My girls use them to weave headbands on their fingers. Similar to a rainbow loom bracelet but for a headband.

They are extremely small. They are no your normal size clothes pin. They area around an inch height and quarter inch in width.

1 and 7/16ths inches. Just in case... the distance between the pins (middle of pin to the middle of the second) is 15/16th of an inch.

I don't know how to describe them beyond that they are typical size, or the size I expected them to be. Like normal thumb-tack size. Sorry to be so vague!

I don't have them with me now to measure, but they are basically normal pencil length, maybe a bit on the shorter side. Not half - length for sure, they're a decent size.
