Addi's DPNs feature the size printed right onto the needle so you'll never need your gauge again. The lightweight bamboo will be warm and comfortable in your hand, and the slight grip that bamboo affords helps keep slippery yarns from sliding off the needles. The longer, eight inch length is perfect for larger circumferences such as sweater sleeves and hats. These needles come in sets of five to accommodate working in the round with either four or five needles.
