Nice and sturdy
I knit tightly so I need sturdy needles which can take the tension when knitting. These do. They are wonderful needles if you need something sturdy and smooth with a little, little grip to keep the stitches from sliding off the needle. I love the fact that the tips are metal coloured so it is easy to see for beginners where the stitch should be picked up, and where it should settle on the new needle.
