Set of tulip-shaped stitch needles in pink, blue, and green. Each needle is color coded to a specific width (pink: small 3.25mm, blue: medium 4.50mm, green: large 5.50mm). Made of PBT, a heat resistant plastic. One side of the needle is color coded. The reason for this is that you can distinguish between the picking point and the knitting point of the needle. Also, you can recognize at a glance when the stitches have become twisted. The point of each end of the needle is different and can be applied according to preference. One end is round and color coded, and the other end is sharp. The middle section of the needle is narrower, and is tapered from circle to square outwards from the middle. This is to prevent stitches from slipping off the ends of the needle. Each end of the needle has flat surfaces so that the needle will not roll off the work surface when not in use. The needle is small enough and straight enough to be held comfortably in one hand, so need not be picked up each time it is required. This set contains SMALL PARTS and is not suitable for small children.
