1000 Pcs 20 Colors Bulb Gourd Pins- Metal Calabash Safety Pins Pear Shaped Pins for Knitting Stitch Markers, Sewing Clothing DIY Craft Making

A huge amount of little calabash safety hooks. After reading others comments I had to check them out. There are definitely 20 different colors. There are slight differences in shades that someone without excellent color vision might not be able to distinguish. There are more of some colors and less of others. They are spray painted with the point closed so the pin tip is raw metal. I would love and purchase a lesser quantity in a much larger size, these being on the small size. They are perfect for my use as markers in crochet and knitting. I love the pointy end that I can slide between stitches without splitting my yarn.

Came in two sealed bags--the inner bag is a standard zip-loc style closure, the outer bag has a zipper feature. Both seem heavy enough for years of use. My wife carries them in her knitting bag and has never had them spill. The colors are bright and cheery and stand out in her knitting. They are light enough not to weigh down the fabric, and slide easily on her needles. The pins are easy to open and close, and hold securely once closed. They do seem a bit thin, and the paint is wearing off a couple of them, but overall, the number received for the price makes this a phenomenal deal. We will probably order more in the future, if she needs them. Right now, she is looking at charms to customize them more. Overall, she is extremely happy with them.

I like beaded stitch markers for some things and removable markers like these for others. I ALWAYS color code my markers. They can be attached to stitches, or put on needles. I don’t like them on needles larger than 5, but will use them on size 6 in a pinch. They work especially well on smaller needles, up through size 4, sizes I don’t like beaded markers for. If you need to put a marker between every lace repeat, this are perfect. You can even place them on the needles in advance, by opening the and slipping them between stitches around the needle. So helpful when counting. I like having hundreds of them to hand. They are little and get lost, so an inexpensive large supply is terrific.

There were a total of 1007 stitch markers in the package, and only one was broken. There were 20 different colors/finishes, as advertised. There was anywhere between 33 and 65 of each color, but it was a pretty even distribution of colors. I will use these for stitch markers while knitting, and I won’t be opening and closing the pins, so the sturdiness isn’t too big of a factor for me. They do seem to be good quality, though, with a smooth finish so they shouldn’t snag my yarn while I’m working. I probably will never need to buy stitch markers again because this came with SO many, but if I did need to get more, I would absolutely buy these again.

These safety pins are good quality. I had to separate the colors for my own use, but when I did, there were only 17 colors not 20 as described. As you see in the photo, the number of pins per color is just random. One was broken. I didn't count them all, but I counted some colors. It doesn't appear that there are 1000 pins in total, but the number might be in the mid 900s. Would I buy this product again? I sure will. If the seller advertised 17 colors and 900 pins, I would have still bought it. I didn't see why the seller would not be honest; thus, I only gave 4 stars rating.

I received 1000 pieces plus 2 mangled pins (and 2 broken heads). Colors are not an even split of 1000/20 colors. 13 was the smallest and highest was 71 of one color. I spent a good 4 hours separating by colors and counting up. You don't have to; but I like them separate for my crocheting ( I use different colors to denote the stitches/rows). I would order more if I need more than 1000! haha.

I sell my wares at Farmers Market and these gourd pins are cheaper and so much more attractive than safety pins! The end is sharp enough for my hang tags on my fabric wares. The colors are fun and the size is perfect.

I needed these for stocking my needlework books with pins, thread, and needles. They are PERFECT! Pretty colors, strong closures, sturdy metal, and very fair prices. Fast shipping, too. I'll be back!

This is the best way to buy stitch markers. I'm always loosing them and or giving them to fellow knitters. It's become such a gimmick these days to put 20 of these in a pretty container and charge $15.00 for them. That is crazy! You wont regret purchasing them in bulk.

J'adore ces marqueurs il y en a beaucoup et j'en ai toujours de besoin pour mes tricots alors facile a utiliser.

Lots.of colors, closes well and doesn't get stuck on yarn...I use to keep knit socks together in pairs

Pins are great and work well, really happy with the variety of colours in the pack. Just a heads-up though these pins are packaged in a single mixed bag and colour divisions aren’t equal as advertised. I did receive 20 different colours (though not the ones pictured) and received 1,000 pins but the distribution was very uneven ranging from 5 to 82 pins per colour. So if you need 50 of each colour this probably isn’t a good buy for you.
