Brittany Birch Double-Point Needles

Available in 2 lengths-5 inch and 7 1/2 inch, these birch double-point needles are great for knitting socks, gloves, and mittens! They are light-weight and smooth and because they are not too slippery they won't fall out of your stitches as you work. Each needle is marked with the U.S. and metric size so you'll never have to wonder what size that stray double- point needle is again. Every metric size is available, making some 'half' sizes in American numbers.
