FAQs
How many pins are in one pack?
Each pack of Hemline Kilt Pins contains two pins.
What is the total length of the pin?
These pins measure 75mm in length.
Can I use these for delicate fabrics?
It is not recommended, as the gauge of the pin is designed for heavy fabrics like wool and may leave noticeable holes in lighter materials.
Are these pins made of real silver?
They feature a silver-colored finish rather than being solid sterling silver.
Can I attach beads directly to the pin?
Yes, many crafters slide beads directly onto the pin or wire-wrap jewelry components to the shaft.
Troubleshooting
Pin is difficult to close
Check if the fabric is too thick or dense; ensure the pin point is aligned correctly with the clasp housing.
Pin feels loose after repeated use
Carefully inspect the clasp mechanism for debris and ensure the wire is not bent out of its original alignment.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install the pin on a kilt, ensure you are catching only the apron layer to maintain proper drape. When using these for jewelry, ensure your beads have an internal diameter large enough to slide over the pin wire. To maintain the finish, keep the pins dry to prevent oxidation. If the pin becomes stiff, a light wipe with a clean, dry cloth is usually sufficient. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, as they may dull the silver plating.
