Using these KnitPro Mindful Double Point Needles is easy. First, choose your yarn and thread it through the eye of the needle. You can use them to knit socks, hats, and sleeves. As you work, take a moment to read the inspiring words on the needles to bring a sense of calm. When you're done knitting, gently remove the stitches. To keep your needles in good condition, store them in a dry place away from sharp objects that could damage the stainless - steel lace tips. Don't worry if you receive them in a KnitPro package; the quality remains the same.
