Using these ChiaoGoo double pointed needles is a breeze. Just start by threading your yarn through the eye of the needle. You can use them for knitting small - diameter items like socks, mittens, or the sleeves of a sweater. When you're done knitting, be careful not to bend the needles as they're thin and can get out of shape. To keep them in good condition, simply wipe them with a soft, dry cloth after each use. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials as they can damage the satin - sheen finish. Store them in a safe place, like a knitting needle case, to prevent them from getting lost or damaged.
