Tonic Studios 409 Yarn Cutter

I am always misplacing scissors and snips. Discounting poltergeists, I think the cats have something to do with it. This tool is really great for cutting yarn, string or cord. I had it in my pocket the other day when I was trussing a chicken and used it to cut the cotton thread. The blades are recessed for safety and the bright purple and orange color makes it really easy to see. It has a long lanyard so you can wear it around your neck, too. Perfect little tool.

Bought this from Stuff4Craft for my wife to use in the car while crocheting. She loves it, it was this lowest price through stuff4craft as well. Very pleased and it arrived promptly.

Has two cutting slots, one cuts yarn fairly well but the other kinda chews it in half.

Product was exactly as described! I love this thing - I used to keep scissors in my project bag for the sole purpose of cutting yarn. I found that the scissors would poke through the lining of my bag, and I didn't like the idea of reaching in and possibly hurting myself. This yarn cutter eliminates that problem as the blade is protected. It also takes up way less room than traditional scissors. The lanyard is nice to have just because I sometimes knit things with lots of color changes and need to keep this nearby.

I was always on the hunt for scissors. I was going to order the clover brand one, but decided that with kids and clients, I wanted something a bit less "sharp" and something I would be able to see a bit better if it ever did end up in the wrong hands. Long story short, the kids cant get fingers into it, it cuts well, and my dog failed to chew it up. 10/10!

Doesn't cut my yarn easily, takes some work to get it to cut.

Handy yarn cutter. This device keeps you from slicing your finger but easily cuts through a variety of thicknesses of yarn. This makes a great gift for a knitter or crocheter.

I like the design and soft texture of the material, but the blades give a somewhat ragged cut to my yarn. I guess this would be good for traveling, but for now I'll stick with my scissors.
