This #2 stainless steel nylon ball head pin is supersharp & makes a great fabric pin for thin & sheer fabrics such as silk & satin. They won't leave a hole or any trace even when used to secure patterns. They're also heat-resistant and convenient for pressing & can be ironed over without damaging the underlying material.

Don't take chances with your valuable museum collectibles. Unlike cheap nickel plated brass, these are made with high grade Swedish steel that will absolutely never rust. These pins are 316 grade stainless which has a minimum of 0.36% molybdenum (Mo) for superior corrosion resistance. See the Certificate of Analysis below for our guarantee of truly rust resistant stainless steel pins.

If you are working with vintage materials, lace, or skinny patchwork pins (0.4mm) that are even thinner check the Technical section which lists all pin diameters in mm & by wire gauge.

Purchased insect pins...happy to find a quality product superior to Amazon where the quality and origins are dubious at best....pins weren’t going to rust six months down the line...I could contact a real person if I needed support.

Alison Bell:
Ordered a sample pack of insect pins for making pinhole cameras. Wonderful selection and super-fast shipment even in a pandemic. They work really well for the purpose. I use the pin size below the size of the hole I want and have gotten …

Mary Claire Becker:
I have been using Indigo Instruments entomology pins in my artwork for almost ten years now, and at this point, they have been an integral part of multiple framed works as well as four different large-scale sculptural paper installations. Basically—huge thanks to Indigo Instruments for being a big part of my studio practice!

I have been buying these stainless steel pins from Indigo for years to mount insects. They are reliable, top quality. I also have purchased various loupes and magnifiers, and a bunch of different tools. Indigo always provides quick service, reliable quality, prompt replies to inquiries, helpful advice, and low prices. I prefer buying from indigo rather than Amazon. Amazon lists too many choices. many of them sold by third parties. It is too easy to pick a dud with Amazon. I can count on Indigo's top quality.

Purchased these insect pins to mount some molted feathers from my pet bird. I'm really happy I was able to find a quality product that I can use to create my art. The product was superior to what I could find places like Amazon where the quality and origins are dubious at best. The price was higher than those places, but you get what you pay for and it was worth paying the shipping cost to know the pins weren't going to rust six months down the line after my art piece was complete and that I could contact a real person if I needed support.

Thanks for the feedback. We do our best to supply best in class products. Some are brand name like the insect pins & others are good generics.
