Based on the same concept as larger snips used for sheep shearing, Cocoknits yarn snips are rustically forged from one piece of steel so they will never break. They are slim, don’t require you to unfold or get your fingers through openings, and are approved for TSA travel through security (a blade less than 3" long). Streamlined and good for only one thing – snipping yarn. Each snip/scissor comes with a natural vegetable-tanned leather protective cover.
