Hasami Magnetic Spool
$7 Flat Rate Shipping in the U.S.
This durable, spool-shaped pin holder contains a strong magnet to store pins, needles, and paperclips neatly.
Fired at a low temperature by expert craftsmen, Hasami Magnetic Pin Holders are made in Nagasaki in an area that's been engaged in pottery making for over 400 years. Ishimaru Togei, the maker of the Hasami Magnetic Spool, has been operating its kilns since 1948.
Hasami-ware boasts a luster and texture reminiscent of ancient pottery. Each pin holder is finished with a colorful glaze to resemble a real spool of thread.
Designed to be used with needles standing up, it is easier to insert and remove needles with one hand than conventional pin cushions, making operations even smoother.
Inside of the spool is lined with soft felt to protect pin and needles from damage by direct contact with the ceramic base. It is also recommended for needles such as cross-stitch needles with rounded tips that are difficult to insert into a fabric pin cushion.
The built-in magnet makes it convenient for picking up dropped pins and needles directly from your workstation. Better yet, Cohana's Seki Mini Scissor can also be attached to the sides, making it popular as a set for small needlework projects.
A smart and sophisticated way to organize your workspace or desk.

Our Process
Purpose in Repurposing
Everything I make at m.a.b.e.l takes time. I find and like to work with pre-1950s quilts because of their natural fibers and their designs that are so old they’re modern again. I work slowly to appreciate all the handwork and decisions that once created them. Every quilt is beautifully unique, and I love making it shine.
Out with the old...
At m.a.b.e.l, everything old can be new again. Send me your used m.a.b.e.l coat or popover (it’ll be repurposed once again!) and I'll give you a discount on your next one!
