difference between silk pins and satin pins
I like silk pins that are all metal, with no glass or plastic ball at the end, which is the classic way they come. Sometimes these are called dressmaking pins or satin pins, each with their own slight variations. My silk pins are 1 1/16â in length, are rust-proof nickel-coated brass, and have a 5mm metal shaft. Silk pins come in a range of weights, so like all the other pins, be sure to match the shaft thickness to your silk for the right combination.
