addi's DPNs feature the size printed right onto the needle so you'll never need your gauge again. The smooth finish makes stitches slide easily, and the strong, steel construction means these are small-gauge needles that will stand up to use. This longer, eight inch length is perfect for larger circumferences such as sweater sleeves or hats. These needles come in sets of five to accommodate working in the round with either four or five needles.
