Knit Picks Harmony Wood Fixed Circular Knitting Needles - 16" - Size 2 (2.75 mm)

Layers of laminated birch give these needles a strength that is missing in regular wooden needles.  The stability and sharp points allow for nice lace knitting.  The small sizes are more durable and resistant to breakage.  Being wood, the burnished surface has a slight grip so slick yarns like mohair and angora don’t slip off at the wrong time.  Harmony wood needles also makes them an excellent choice for beginning knitters, who often have trouble keeping stitches on the needles.

The metric sizing system is more precise than the US sizing system.  There are two US size 1 - equivalent to 2.25mm and 2.50mm and two US size 2 - equivalent to 2.75mm and 3.00mm.

The 16" needle tips are 3 3/8 inches long.
