Using these KnitPro Mindful Fixed Circular Needles is easy. Start by choosing the yarn you like and casting on stitches. The stainless - steel lace tips help you work on intricate lace patterns or just regular knitting. The cables are marked every inch, so you can measure your work as you go. When not in use, store the needles in a dry place to avoid rust. Clean them gently with a soft cloth if they get dirty. Don't bend the cables too much to keep them free of kinks. And remember, even though the package may be different, the quality of these needles is top - notch.
