Note these are special small needle tips (100mm compared with the normal length of 128mm) designed especially to be used with the smallest cable (making a knitting length of 40 cm/16 inches). Ideal for those knitting smaller items. The needles from Knit Pro’s Symfonie Wood range have a lustrous wood surface designed to provide more grasp to easily cope with slick yarns like angora and mohair. Lightweight, yet exceptionally strong & durable
