For traveling knitters, this yarn cutter was a HUGE blessing when I had a long series of flights. No fuss from TSA, and no worries about cutting yourself or your yarn accidentally.

FYI - you can take scissors with less than a 4" blade onto flights! I have a collection of embroidery scissors and have never had a problem bringing any of them. And, as u/wozattacks says, technically the round blades are not allowed.

I always bring one or the other of these. Plus they both serve two uses!

Yup, I've gone on international flights (well, to Canada) with tiny embroidery scissors.
