These come 200 to a box (a couple of boxes will be enough, until you’re hopelessly addicted to them…) These pins aren’t so long that they’re unstable (some long, very sharp pins are), and they go through any fabric with ease. Nothing is worse than a fabric that balks as you try to force a less-than-sharp pin through it – it never happens with these. And they’ve got glass heads, which means ironing over them isn’t a problem.
