Safety pins can be used on linen sarees, but linen requires more care than cotton due to its fibre structure.
Why Linen Needs Careful Pinning
Linen fibres are strong but less elastic. This means:
-
Pinholes can remain visible if stressed
-
Repeated pinning in one spot can weaken threads
How to Pin Linen Sarees Safely
-
Use the smallest pin possible
-
Pin through multiple layers (pleats)
-
Avoid tugging after pinning
-
Shift pin placement occasionally
When to Avoid Pins on Linen
-
On very fine or blended linen
-
Near visible borders
-
On the same area repeatedly
Conclusion
Safety pins are safe for linen sarees when used sparingly and strategically. Thoughtful placement preserves both drape and fabric longevity.
