These individually hand-crafted needles are hard to find—especially on the web. Even if you weren't a knitter you could stick a bunch in a vase and call it an object d'art. The way it works is, since every top is different there's no telling what we'll have at the time you order. So every shipment we send is like a surprise package for you—you pick the size and length and we pick from our needles of that size at random. Believe us there are no duds in the bunch. The photo collage shows an assortment of needles all picked randomly, without looking, from our stock at the time of the photo shoot.
