    Easy to read the size!

    I broke my long 8” needles so I went with these. I like the wood feel in my hands and they are long enough to help manipulate my knitting work. The best part is the size is in the middle of the needle. Easy to read and keep track of your needle sets especially when you have to change sizes while knitting in pattern.

    Lykke DPN's deserve thumbs up!

    My preference for DPN's is wood. I was hesitant to try Lykke for DPN's because I could see via online photos, a metal piece in the middle of each needle. I also like my needles a little longer. Given I am happy with my other Lykkes though, I gave them a try. I finished one pair of socks on the new Lykke DPN's, and am beginning a new pair-----no problem whatsoever with the join or the length. In fact, I like them a lot because they are very lightweight and they are just slick enough.
