Product Information
Full details
The Prym 610287 Magnetic Pincushion is designed for sewers and crafters seeking an organized and accessible way to keep pins and needles at hand. Its key benefit is the strong magnetic hold that prevents pins from scattering, ensuring they are always ready for use. A minor consideration is that it primarily holds smaller pins, and larger or heavier items may not adhere as securely. This compact accessory features a magnetic core within a sturdy plastic casing, presented in a fresh mint and white dot design from the Prym Love Collection. It comes bundled with 9g of glass-headed pins.
