Boye Simplicity Creative Group, Inc Aluminum Single Point Knitting Needles, Baby Blue, 9 UK

I love this brand of needle and have used their products since I started knitting. The paint is pretty durable and the needles themselves are very durable. I didn’t realize knitting needle sizes have changed over the years, apparently a size 10 is now 5.75mm rather than 6.00mm so that was a surprise but won’t make a difference in my project and it probably listed in the description somewhere.

Already using these. The needles are perfect and do not slip.

They are exactly what I expected with the bonus of being purple!

Superb quality and easy to manipulate the small stitches needed for specific projects

We're not the usual consumer of this sort of thing. But it's PERFECT for our use. We're water sports enthusiasts and use polypropylene line for a myriad of things. It splices easily. If you have what's called a Fid, which is something, in the case of this sort of line, which you use to splice ropes and other lines. For our application, the points easily open the threads of the line, as a solid fid would do. But the key for us is that the hollow aluminum also allows us to insert the end of the line which will eventually be tucked into a part further up the line being spliced, and when it's finished, we just pull the fid off. So, I bought these to make two fids. One only a couple of inches long, and the other about half the length. The longer length allows more insertion per stroke so makes short work of a splice where we have the available length. They're perfect for that use for us. The rest of you probably will want to stick to your knitting ☺
