Using these KnitPro Mindful Collection Fixed Circular Needles is easy. Just start your knitting project as you normally would. They're great for both delicate lace patterns and regular knitting. When using, make sure to handle the cables gently to keep them smooth. If you need to measure your work, use the inch markings on the cables. After use, store them in a dry place to prevent the stainless - steel from rusting. Avoid bending the needles too much as it might affect their shape. Enjoy your knitting with these wonderful needles!
