Shawl Every Day 2021 - Day 4 - Scissors

I keep a variety of scissors in my studio and use them for different purposes.

The small pair on the top left lives at my computer desk and I use it mainly for trimming threads and yarn ends. It’s also the pair that travels with me if I need to pack a light craft bag. The pair on the top right sits at my sewing machine and I use it to cut any needed threads there. The pink pair is for paper only and lives in a ceramic holder with my pends and pencils.

The orange pair on the left lives in a ceramic holder on my sewing machine table along with random tools like my fabric marking pen, seam roller, and pinking shears. It’s just for general use, like cutting cardboard, light plastic, or anything else that I wouldn’t want to use other scissors for. The orange pair on the right is sturdier and I only use it to cut filament for my 3D printer.

And lastly is my fabric scissors, which live in a fabric case I custom sewed for them. :)

How many pairs of scissors do you keep in your shop?
