Small embroidery scissors with stork, floral and curved tips from DMC, Milward and Triumph - sized for snipping stranded cotton close to the fabric without catching nearby stitches.
Choose fine pointed or curved tips when you need to cut a single strand flush against aida; stork and decorative handles are the classic needlework shape and still give a sharp blade for everyday snips.
The scissors here are short embroidery sizes (around 3.5 to 3.75 inches in the floral and peacock styles), not dressmaking shears.
Pair them with needles from cross stitch needles and a hoop from embroidery hoops.
