I cannot say enough positive about this company! I received a tin that was empty and thought, "Was this just for the tin?" It wasn't terribly expensive so I thought that the pins weren't included. No problem, I can use the tin for other things like stitch markers, tapestry needles, and other small items needed. I received an email about a week after delivery and decided to go check the description and found out there was suppose to be 150 pins with the tin. I contacted Oliver at KnitIQ customer service and he very quickly took care of my missing pins and had another tin with pins sent to me. Just two-days later they arrived at my home. The pins and tin are a very good quality and I use them all the time for blocking my projects and also holding panels together while I seam them together. I'm not only very pleased with the product I received, but overwhelmed at the fantastic customer support Oliver provided. Many companies would not care about the opinion of one person with such a small purchase, but not KnitIQ, they took very good care of me right away.
Today I recevied my order of "KnitIQ Stainless Steel T-Pins". (and Thank You Ruth @ KnitIQ for the quick reply)
These pins are very strong (not easily bent) but most importantly they appear to be a excellent grade of "Stainless Steel"! (as advertised).
For those of you that aren't aware a "magnet" has very limited affect on "GOOD" Stainless Steel. (magnets are usually unable to attach to Stainless Steel")
I did check and these pins were NOT at all affected/picked up by my normal but small magnet.
For the record (and Thank You to Amazon) I have returned "Advertised" Stainless Steel T-Pins (by Sellers) that are NOT actually "Stainless Steel" but instead "Nickle Plated Steel"! (read their fine print!)
By the way (reference to some comments) I received these from Amazon in a boxed, sealed/shrink wrapped and in the cute "Metal Box" (as pictured).................very "Kool"
Thank You KnitIQ and Amazon, Pete C. Signorelli, Key Largo, Florida.
The pins arrived on time and well wrapped. The box they came in is easy to open and closes securely. The pins are perfect for my crocheted snowflakes that need to be starched and blocked. The pins are rustproof and are the perfect size.
I found the pushpins I was using for blocking started to rust. These stainless T-pins have worked great. I’ve used them for aggressive blocking for lace and they work really well
The pins themselves seem sturdy. I'm going to be using them this week for the first time blocking a crochet project. My only complaint is the packaging. I ordered these with several large items. They come in a tin (looks like an altoid tin to be honest). Well I would have thought the tin would be inside a small bag but it wasn't. When I opened my big box, the tin was sitting open with only 1 pin inside. After digging through the box, I have recovered 141 of the pins. So 9 are stranded along the road from Amazon to my house. In the long run 9 pins aren't gonna make or break me but seriously who thought this tin was gonna survive a trip through ups without opening up.

So far I have found many uses for the t-pins. I like the fact that they are stainless steel and are strong and sturdy. I originally purchased the pins for blocking knitted pieces, but have been using them for sewing projects as well. Also, the handy storage tin is great to hold the pins. Thank you.
I love Ken th pins but they opened in box and not sure if I lost any since box wasn’t taped all around.
Great box, I really need a metal box with secure fastening and this fits the bill to a T. The pins are the high quality ones I was hoping for ...as inferior ones often snag the fragile cloth I work with! Will buy again from this company!
The pins are sturdy and easy to use. However, some of the pins aren't bent correctly at the top which causes them to dig into your fingers. Be careful.
I already had T-pins, so mainly got these because the container provides a better way for storing them to keep things organized. I'm very satisfied with the product.
