Pony Rosewood Knitting Needles - Double-Point - Set of 5 - 20cm

These 8.00mm double-pointed needles are ideal for knitting small circumference items in the round, such as socks, hats, and sleeves, especially with thicker yarns.

While the smooth finish is beneficial, double-pointed needles have a learning curve. They are best suited for knitters familiar with or willing to learn circular knitting techniques.

Gently wipe them with a slightly damp, soft cloth. Avoid soaking them in water. Dry immediately if they get wet.

These 8.00mm needles are best suited for bulky to super bulky yarns. For very fine yarns, smaller needle sizes and potentially different materials like metal or bamboo might be more appropriate.

It means the rosewood used is harvested from forests managed in an environmentally responsible manner, ensuring minimal impact on ecosystems and resources.

Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures. Using a needle case or soft pouch can protect them from scratches.

This could be due to a natural variation in the wood grain, a temporary dryness of the material, or debris on the needle surface. Cleaning and occasional light conditioning can help.

Ensure the needle tips are clean and free of debris. If the yarn continues to snag, the natural finish might need a light conditioning with mineral oil or beeswax as per care instructions.

Apply a small amount of food-grade mineral oil or beeswax to a soft cloth and gently rub it onto the needles. Allow it to absorb, then buff off any excess. This will restore the smooth finish.

Handle needles with care, especially when not in use. Minor chips might be smoothed with very fine-grit sandpaper, but significant damage may require replacing the needle.

Practice managing stitches by holding the needles securely and distributing the stitches evenly. Watch tutorials on double-pointed knitting techniques for visual guidance. Ensure yarn isn't too tight.
