View source for Pin

A '''pin''' is simply a long, thin piece of [[metal]], [[bone]] or [[wood]] with at least one end sharpened, usually used to hold two pieces of fabric together.

[[Brooch]]es are sometimes called '''Cloak Pins''' in the SCA.  Although a misnomer, such "cloak pins" include [[annular]], [[pennanular]], and [[disk brooch]]es.
