A glass-filled nylon frame lends strength to these Featherweight Thread Snips, which weight only have an ounce. Stainless steel blades have been welded into place and feature very sharp points for pulling threads and reaching tight spaces. The protective cap allows for safe carrying or storage in your purse, pocket, and sewing basket. The cap is fitted with a loop, enabling you to attach a ribbon for hanging this indispensable tool around your neck while working.
