Using these KnitPro Mindful double point needles is easy. First, choose the yarn you want to use for your sock, hat, or sleeve project. Slide the yarn onto the needle and start knitting in the pattern you like. As you work, take a moment to read the inspiring words on the needles and let them bring you a sense of calm. When you're done knitting, gently remove the finished item from the needles. To keep your needles in good shape, store them in a dry place away from moisture. Avoid dropping them on hard surfaces as this could damage the stainless steel lace tips. And remember, even though the packaging might be new, the quality of these needles remains top - notch.
