Darn Good Yarn Unicorn Scissors

May 12, by Sarah White. Leave a Comment

Part of the fun of stitching is having some whimsical accessories in your work basket, so why not add a bit of fun with these unicorn scissors from Darn Good Yarn?

These heavy, premium-quality, 4-inch scissors are coated with a rainbow plasma coating, which just adds the the fun. The unicorn’s horn is the blades, and the screw is its eye. So cute!

I tried these out cutting both embroidery floss and yarn and they handled everything well. They perform like you would expect little scissors like these to perform, but with added cuteness.

Best yet, they’re sold by Darn Good Yarn, an online yarn store that supports women’s economic empowerment, fair trade practices and environmental sustainability.

These would be a great gift idea for any crafter who like a little whimsy. I’m pretty sure my 11-year-old is going to steal mine for her sewing basket!

You can find these unicorn scissors here.

Mini Christmas Cross Stitch Patterns

I love mini cross stitch patterns any time of the year, but they’re especially nice as we head toward the holidays and you might want to make some last-minute gifts. Mini Christmas cross stitch patterns are super cute as ornaments, or you can make them into bookmarks, little pins, add them to napkins, or whatever else you might like to add a bit of cross stitch to.

They’re also great because they’re usually sold as a set so you’re getting a bunch of patterns you can use together or separately all in one.

For example, Cross Stitch by Coconut has a collection of 100 mini holiday cross stitch patterns, which would be so cute stitched as a whole bunch in a sampler style, or as the border of another project, etc. Most of the individual designs are around 20 by 20 stitches and will take less than an hour to stitch up.

If 100 patterns sounds a little overwhelming, try Stitchonomy‘s mini collection, which has 30 tiny designs. I love the variety in this little collection, which has everything from Santa to a mug of hot chocolate, a Christmas pudding and a snow globe. The largest ones in this set are 31 by 31 stitches.

Purple Kitty Yarns has a collection from an old Coats & Clark leaflet designed by Barbara Swanson (and used by permission) that includes a couple of cute borders, ornaments, a wreath and other cute stuff.

These minis from Cross Stitch Inn Shop are meant to be ornaments, but you could use them for other little projects as well. It includes 16 patterns, all of which are smaller than 2 inches. The most complex ones use seven colors, but most only use two or three.

And these cute little projects from X Cross Stitch Pattern X on Etsy are all meant to fit in three-inch hoops. The largest size is around 35 by 35 stitches, and several of these are more winter than Christmas so you can use them as decor even after the season is over.
