HARFINGTON Model 1 Safety Pins, 2.76-Inch Green Baked-Paint Steel, 20-Pack

A quick temporary hold and a detailed sewing or quilting task call for a pin that is easy to handle and secure. HARFINGTON safety pins measure 2.76 inches and come in a 20-piece pack. Their green baked-paint finish adds a distinct color for clothing, crafts, and other fabric projects.

What stands out

Each pin measures 70 x 18 mm (2.76 x 0.71 inches), with a 2 mm wire diameter. The large size gives you a substantial pin for holding fabric, quilts, blankets, paper, or craft materials together while you work. Carbon steel provides the pin’s structure, and the baked-paint coating gives it a green, shiny surface described as rust- and corrosion-resistant.

The pointed end is designed to pass through fabric without creating large holes, while the locking clasp covers the tip when closed. That covered point is useful when pins are handled among sewing supplies or used to secure layers during a project. With 20 pins in the pack, you can fasten multiple sections or keep several on hand for clothing design and DIY crafts.

Worth noting

These pins suit projects where a removable hold is more useful than a permanent sewn join. For example, you can use them to keep quilt or blanket layers together during handwork, hold fabric in place while arranging a clothing design, or attach paper and craft materials during assembly. Their 2.76-inch length and 2 mm wire distinguish them from smaller pins intended for delicate, fine-detail tasks, choose the larger format when you want a substantial pin for broader pieces or layered materials.

The green finish can also help make the pins easier to distinguish among other sewing notions or coordinate with a project. Because the pin body is sharp and the clasp is spring-loaded, open and close each one deliberately, then make sure the point sits fully inside the lock groove before handling or storing it.

Care tips

To open a pin, press the spring end with your thumb to release the lock clasp. Avoid forcefully bending the pin body, which can deform it. When closing, guide the point completely into the clasp’s lock groove so it is covered. These simple handling steps help keep the pin’s shape and keep the sharp point secured between uses.

Buying verdict

Choose this HARFINGTON set when your sewing, quilting, clothing-design, or craft work calls for large, reusable safety pins rather than a fine, small-format pin. The 70 mm length, 2 mm wire, locking point cover, and 20-piece quantity make the set practical for securing fabric layers and organizing materials during hands-on projects.
