A favorite with many knitters and made of high quality stainless steel, HiyaHiya Sharp Steel Circular Needles have a slick but not too slick, smooth finish. The flexible cables and near perfect joins with sharp tips are great for increasing, decreasing and intricate stitch patterns.
I loved them while knitting my sock design,
Agatha Socks, especially for those normally finicky p3tog's!
The needles are lightweight to handle and will warm quickly to the hand.
