Using these KnitPro Mindful Collection Fixed Circular Needles is a breeze. Start by choosing the yarn you like and thread it onto the needle. Whether you're working on lace or a simple scarf, the stainless - steel lace tips will help you make precise stitches. The inch - marked cables can be used to measure your work as you go. When you're done knitting, gently remove the finished piece from the needles. To keep your needles in good condition, avoid bending them too much. Store them in a dry place away from sharp objects. And don't worry if your product comes in the new KnitPro packaging - the quality remains the same.
