For years, I've been looking for knitting needles I loved enough to put them in the shop, and these new Lykke 12" straight needles are everything: great-looking, hard-working and impeccably detailed. They're the first needles I've ever seen that make me want to knit on straights!
The "Driftwood" needles are made of smooth, hard birch with a beautiful grayish finish that varies from one pair to the next, while the pairs match up — subtle but stunning. The tips are long and slender. And the black metal endcaps have the sizes etched into them, not printed.
