The smooth and lustrous surface of these wood cable needles allows your stitches to move freely for hours of comfortable knitting. Made from laminated birch wood in waves of color, the sharp, gradually tapered points slip easily into stitches so even complicated cables and decreases are easy to maneuver.  The grooves in each needle help keep the stitches from slipping off the needle while they are being held either in front or in back of your work. Set of three provides an ideal size for any project, including: US 3 (3 1/8" long), US 6 (3 3/8" long), and US 9 (4" long).
