Drops Basic Double Pointed Knitting Needles Aluminium 20cm 5.00mm / 7.9in US8

Hosiery needles are for those who want to knit socks in the round on 5 needles. These stocking rods measure 20 cm. They are long enough that you won't lose stitches while being short enough that they can be easily handled. The 5 mm diameter provides the small and dense stitches often desired in knitted stockings. The measurements correspond to 7.9 in and US 8 in US measurements.

The five hosiery needles are made of aluminium, which is a strong and lightweight material that is comfortable to knit with - even after several hours. Since aluminium is strong, it has been possible to make the tips extra pointed, which makes it even easier to pick up stitches. Aluminium is shiny and smooth, which ensures that stitches slide easily and across the needles. In addition, aluminium is nickel-free and particularly suitable for people with nickel allergies.
