The ultimate scissors, these stunning snips are made for Cohana by the renowned Shozaburo scissor makers in Japan. The finely honed steel blades are razor sharp and are ideal for precision thread cutting. The handles are wrapped with silk Iga braids (a technique developed for the manufacture of Japanese armour and garment fastening) and finished with an elegant tassel and button trim. A soft leather blade cover is the final finishing touch.
As usual with Japanese goods, the packaging is perfect – a beautiful presentation box and Cohana tag make these little scissors the ultimate gift for textile lovers.
Snips measure 10.5 cm long, 4 1/4 inches. Available in pink, yellow, blue and aqua. Please contact us if your required colour is not in stock and we will order it for you.

I love pretty much anything published by Laine, they have outdone themselves with this issue however.
Immediately on flicking through I bookmarked three 'must knits' and really enjoyed the article on Satu Rämö too ( if you've not read her novels now is a very good time to start).
Really enjoying this card deck, is helping improve my granny square skills. Instructions are clear, easy and fun!
These are the most beautiful Cohana sciossors I now have in my collection! The colour of a camelia blooming in the snow with the white leather case and silver sparkly star is the most beautiful of them all!
I have used a few of these threads for my sashiko and pleased every time with the results . Although fine , even using them single stranded , the colours pop out against the fabric. They feel so smooth when stitching with them . They arrived quickly too.
This thread looks beautiful on the fabric and fills so well. Would love to have more choice of colours.
