Reflections Stainless Steel
Our Reflections stainless steel needles are slick, sleek, and surprisingly lightweight. Reflections needles have 100% stainless steel needle tips with hollow construction that warms slightly without getting hot, and we didn't stop there with the steel! The threaded cable joins are also 100% stainless steel and attached to nylon-coated steel cord cables, making this the ideal Options IC set for metal needle lovers. This set includes 9 needle tips, 4 sizes of green cables, and cable connectors - all of which are stored in a handy vinyl case. Two small cable keys are included, which allow you to tighten your needle tips to the cables. Working on multiple projects that call for the same needle size? Use the included end caps to safely store your project as you start the next.

“
Senior knitter here ... and holy moley these things are the best EVER. Did not slow my knitting speed down, but did make it more accurate and lets you sort of feel when you just didn't quite knit that stitch quite right. Keeps your speed but makes you more accurate as odd as that seems. Keeps stitches from sliding off but yet glides off very quickly as you work your stitch.
