Knitting Needle Sets

Buying needles one size at a time works until a pattern calls for the one missing from the tin. A boxed set settles the question for good, gathering a full run of tip sizes with cables, stoppers and tools in a fitted case that slips into a project bag. Interchangeable sets come in steel, birch and copper, including a shortie version built for tight, small diameter rounds. Sock knitters are served by double-pointed sets in steel or bamboo, covering the fine sizes a pair usually needs.
