Fiskars Classic Needlework Scissors – 5in

A small pair of scissors is essential for snipping thread ends as you go and for cutting smaller details such as buttonholes, trimming corners, cutting postbox zip openings and any areas where you need small, sharp blades which cut right to the tip. We use these Fiskars needlework scissors all the time as they’re sharp, precise and strong. We use them for small cutting and snipping tasks and own several pairs as they’re great for all crafts (perfect for snipping yarn too!)

The Fiskars scissors with orange handles are a Finnish design icon, born in the village of Fiskars, Finland in 1967. They were the world’s first plastic-handled scissors which changed the way scissors were thought of as they were lightweight, ergonomic, easy to use and offered exceptional performance. Over a billion pairs of Classic scissors have been sold worldwide.

How to Care for your Scissors

1.     Wipe the blades after each use as this prevents build-up of lint and fibres that can get caught in the pivot area and interfere with the cutting.

2.     From time to time, wash your scissors with soap and water then rinse and dry before using or storing. These scissors are dishwasher proof too.

3.     Oil your scissors every once in a while at the screw assembly and between the blades at the pivot area. Sewing machine oil is a good choice for this. Wipe the excess oil off the blades to prevent staining your fabric.
