Wooden Stitch Ripper
- Worldwide Shipping Available
We think these are the most beautiful stitch rippers you will find! Made to an exclusive design for Beyond Measure, they have a turned wooden handle, an antique style brass fitting and removable/replaceable blade. There is no plastic involved at all!
The handles are turned individually in the UK so will vary slightly, but the wooden part measure about 3 inches (7.5 cm) long, so nestles nicely in your hand. The blades can be removed easily for storage or to be replaced when blunt.
Each seam ripper comes with one blade, a storage bag and blade storage tin which is also handy for needles and other bits. Spare blades also available.
Total length with blade is about 5 inches (12.5 cm).
Wood options:
Yew is a very silky wood to the touch and is a varying warm honey colour. It sometimes has a slightly swirly grain or knots.
Oak is a slightly darker wood which mellows beautifully. It has a distinctive grain and slight texture to the surface.
Cherry is a smooth wood with a warm mid colour and a variegated grain that sometimes contains darker tones.
Walnut is a dark rich wood with a tight grain.
Holly a lighter wood with a close grain and cooler tone and modern look
Apple is a smooth pale tone, close-grain wood, sometimes with tiny pits or knots.
Wood is a natural material so each handle will be unique and will be slightly different to those pictured.
Handle made in the UK, blade is from Japan.

It's such a pleasure to use tools which work well and look beautiful too!
I'm very happy with my cherry stitch ripper! It's wonderfully made, beautiful, soft and pleasant to hold. I really appreciate the ability to replace the blade if necessary, very well designed! It also came with a cover for the blade which is great! (Perhaps it should be shown on the product page?). I'm so happy to be able to avoid plastics that unfortunately dominate.
All in all, very happy with my purchase and also very happy with the lovely packaging and instructions! Very thoughtful! :)
So happy you are pleased with your purchase Robert! You have also reminded me to update the listing with the cover - thank you!

Very prompt service. Purchased for daughter's birthday and she loves it.
Beautiful and sustainable. I was fed up of the plastic handled "quick unpicks" going blunt. This beautiful wooden handle is nicer to hold and has replacement blades to buy.
I am delighted with my seam ripper. It is a joy to use and will last me a lifetime.
