Hi,

 Here is some info that Cathy shared once before.  Maybe this will help with anyone new who is looking for the safety pins for Cindy Zimmer's Christmas tree pin class.

 

Imperial safety pins are sized as follows:

*                            Size 00 or 2/0 = ¾ inch

*                            Size 0 = 7/8 inch

*                            Size 1 = 1-1/16 inch

*                            Size 2 = 1-1/2 inch

*                            Size 3 = 2 inches

*                            Size 4 = 3 inches

*                            Notice that the increase in length is not
equivalent as the size goes up.

*                            Size 4 safety pins are also known as blanket
pins.

*                            In metric, typical sizes are 37 mm (~1-1/2
inches) and 46 mm (~1.8 inches).
