Using these ChiaoGoo double pointed needles is a breeze. Start by threading your yarn onto one of the needles. You can use them for knitting small - diameter tubes like socks or mittens. Just move the stitches along the needles as you work. When you're done knitting, be careful not to bend the needles, as they're thin and could get out of shape. To keep them in good condition, wipe them with a dry cloth after use. If they get dirty, you can gently clean them with a mild soap and water, then dry them thoroughly. Store them in a safe place, like a knitting needle case, to prevent them from getting lost or damaged.
