Nickel plated brass needles
A few days ago, I posted that texturing near the tips of stainless steel
needles improved their usability. Now, I am testing similar texturing on nickel plated brass needles. When knitting to a tight gauge, the textured - nickel plated brass needles tend to feel rough and scratchy. When knitting fast and loose, the textured band around the points does seem to allow knitting faster and easier. I like it enough that I am going to go ahead and texture bands behind the points on my other stainless steel and nickel plated needles. They may wear a bit faster, but then everybody deserves a new set of steel needles every few years anyway : ) Aaron |
