Using these KnitPro Mindful Fixed Circular Needles is a breeze. Start by threading your yarn through the cable and onto the needle tip. They're great for both delicate lace patterns and regular knitting projects. When using, be careful not to bend the cables too forcefully as it might affect the smoothness of your knitting. After you finish knitting, simply remove the yarn. To maintain these needles, keep them in a dry place. Wipe the needles with a soft cloth if they get dirty. Remember, although the packaging might have changed to the KnitPro name, the quality remains the same as the old Knitter's Pride products.
