Designed for comfort, Silvalume knitting needles feature a gently rounded tip and long taper to make knitting easier, reduce yarn splitting, and more comfortable for your fingertips. Each has an ultra smooth finish as the result of a special anodizing process. Surface impurities are etched away, leaving behind a velvety smooth aluminum surface in buttery-soft colors. For an extra touch, each needle is polished to ensure extra smoothness. Size: 11 Brand: Susan Bates
