To add to what Joyce said, you measure at the shank part of the needle, not
the point of the needle for sizing.

You put the needle from the tip side into the hole and slide it in.  If you
can't get it passed the tip you try the next size up .  If it seems to fit
loosely  try the next one smaller.

No reason to put needle all the way thru as the needle ends have a stopper
on them.

Especially good for interchangeable needle tips to get a matching pair.

Hi Joyce;
I am interested in the knitting needle gauges,but,have a question. Do you
put the whole needle through the hole or just the tip?
Thanks
Henry

I have knitting needle gauges shaped in a cute little hat.    You poke your
needles into the holes in this plastic hat until they fit well.  You need a
little sighted help to begin with as the holes start off in a row and ggo
across the width of the hat with the largest needle size ending up on the
pompom of the hat.  So it is good to know say one of the middle rows what
size it begins with.  Or you can always start at the top which I believe is
size 15 needles and count backwards.

They are $6 and shipping is free.

I have those great folding scissors with pointed tips made in the USA   They
come in assorted color handles.  They are made from the same company that
they sell at Convention.  They work great for cutting plastic canvas.They
are $9 per pair plus $3 for shipping.  Handle colors are purple, pink,
silver and I might have a couple of pairs of red left.

Needle threaders for sewing thread or threading sewing machines.  4 for $5
free shipping

Joyce
