Using these KnitPro Mindful Fixed Circular Needles is a breeze. Start by choosing your yarn and casting on stitches as you normally would. The stainless - steel lace tips are great for intricate lace patterns or just regular knitting. The inch - marked cables can help you measure your work as you go. When not in use, store them in a cool, dry place to prevent any damage to the needles or cables. Don't pull the cables too hard as they're memory - free but can still be stretched if misused. And if they get dirty, you can gently wipe them with a dry cloth. Enjoy your knitting with these amazing needles!
