Broom Trimming Knife
$22.00 Add to cartThis trimming knife is extremely sharp. It comes fitted with safety guards so your hand doesn’t slip off the handle when you exert pressure. The blade is thin enough to cut cleanly and stout enough to trim brooms for as long as you want to use it. Can be sharpened as needed and comes with a sheath.
*Colors of sheath will vary. Images are examples of the sheath.*

Double Ended Stitching Needle
$30.00 Add to cartThis Double Ended Needle is a necessary tool when stitching large brooms. The hole in the middle makes it unnecessary to turn the needle when you’re stitching. 12 inches long by 1/2 inch wide, this needle was created exclusively for Three Sisters Broom Shoppe. The length and width give you control over your broom stitching. The narrow width allows you to place rows closer together and the length allows you to go into the side of the broom easily. Handcrafted in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho.

Embroidered Hemp/Cotton Canvas Tote Bag With Gusset
$38.00 Add to cartFinally, a totally cool Three Sisters Hemp/Cotton Canvas Bag! The straps are 10 inches long from the stitch line to the top of the strap, 20 inches overall.

Mathilda Footbrake
$35.00 Add to cartThis footbrake is one you can take with you anywhere. No clunk, clunk as the round ends rotate smoothly. There’s plenty of room to wind enough twine for the most robust of brooms. A drill bit is inserted on one end. You can use a drill to wind your twine faster or you can use the Not-Yet-Released Mathilda Winding System. You can still use a drill but your tension will be perfect with our winding system. It’s nearly ready for release as of 3/4/24. Each footbrake is handcrafted.
The footbrake is made out of Maple. It’s a Three Sisters Broom Shoppe exclusive!

Portal Maker
$45.00 Add to cartFinally, there’s a way to make PERFECT PORTALS in your broom handles!!! The patent-pending Portal Maker is a Must Have tool for every broom maker who desires consistency, ease, perfection and sheer delight when making portals for the hanging loop to fit into, every time. The Portal Maker is made of the strongest 3-D print plastic known to me. It’s Three Sisters purple too! Two large thumb screws allow you to tighten this tool tight around your broom handle. Should you have a really slender handle, you may need to shim with a piece of paper but it’s built to accommodate nearly any handle you choose. There’s a metal guide which the 5/8 inch drill bit slips into when you’re ready to portal the handle too. The drill bit stays with the Portal Maker through two neodymium magnets. The drill bit itself has a sharp point so a special cap has been 3-D printed by Yours Truly for the traveling of the tool. Of course, the cap is cute (and purple!) so you may just want to leave it on your tool for all time. Thanks to my friend Travis for inventing yet another Three Sisters Broom Shoppe Exclusive!!
