Scissors for Knitting and Amigurumi

Knitting needs small, sharp scissors to cut yarn ends, tidy amigurumi after stuffing and trim tassels, with tailor's shears kept apart for fabric. This category carries Taksun clear plastic-handle 20 cm scissors, Taksun 21.5 cm tailor's shears, Singer coloured scissors and pointed yarn snips. All scissors are in Scissors; embroidery scissors in Embroidery Scissors.

Which Scissor for Which Job?

Pointed 9–10 cm yarn snips are for amigurumi and precise cuts close to a stitch; the 20 cm plastic-handle scissor handles thick yarn, macramé and tassels; tailor's shears cut lining fabric and felt. Use scissors only on yarn and fabric, since paper dulls them, and keep them sheathed in the knitting bag.
