Using these KnitPro Mindful Double Point Needles is easy. Start by choosing the yarn you like for your sock, hat, or sleeve project. Slide the yarn onto one of the needles and begin casting on stitches. As you knit, enjoy the inspiring words on the needles. When not in use, keep them in a dry place to prevent rusting. Be gentle with the stainless - steel lace tips to avoid bending. If they get dirty, you can wipe them with a soft, dry cloth. Remember, although the packaging has changed, the quality of these needles remains top - notch.
