8" Double Point Knitting Needles, Plastic

The plastic is lightweight but feels sturdy enough for tight stitches, and the 8-inch length is perfect for working on a beanie without my hands cramping.

Started a sock project with these and the tips are sharp enough to pick up stitches without snagging. The range of sizes in the set means I had the right needle for each section. A bit slippery for me, but workable.

The plastic is surprisingly sturdy, not flimsy at all, and the 8-inch length makes them perfect for keeping sock stitches from slipping off. I've already knit two caps with this set and the tips are smooth enough that my yarn glides along without snagging.
