[Nfb-krafters-korner] Circular Needles

[Ramona Walhof]

You will find a better variety of circular needles in a specialty yarn shop 
than at a place like Joanne' .  The plastic and bamboo are quite a bit 
lighter than the metal ones, but some of the metal have a very nice smooth 
surface.  They come in lengths all the way from 11 inches to 39 inches that 
I know of.  Of course, you are usually not going to find every size in every 
length at one store, and certainly not in all substances.  I have collected 
quite a few, and you just have to experiment until you find what you like 
best. You might prefer different kinds of needles for different things.  For 
example, I like a real polished surface when I am going fast around the body 
of a sweater, but bamboo when making something more complex like cables.
