Craft scissors

Scissors for yarn, fabric and precise crafts

The right scissors make it easier to cut yarn, fabric or a small detail cleanly without damaging the surrounding material. Compact sharp scissors are convenient for yarn ends and precise work, while longer blades help create a straighter cut in fabric.

How to choose the right scissors

Consider the blade length, point shape, handle size and the work you plan to do. Fine points can reach a narrow area, but they must be stored safely. If the scissors will travel in your craft bag, choose a model with a case or another form of blade protection.

How to keep scissors sharp

Keep fabric scissors separate and do not use them for paper, wire or unsuitable materials. Cut only the materials specified by the manufacturer, and follow the instructions for the particular model when cleaning or sharpening it.
