Set of Five, 7" Bone Double Pointed Knitting Needles

Before the 20th century fine knitting was done on steel wire but bone was the material of choice for coarse knitting. Bone needles are very smooth to work with, yet prevent the work from sliding off of them and they become even smoother with use. The 7" works well for knitting mittens and stockings. Double pointed needles are needed for knitting in the round which is the type of knitting done before the Victorian.
