How to pick your needles
Comfort and durability are KING when picking tools. We recommend trying a few different materials before investing in a full interchangeable set!
If you're struggling with stitches falling off your needles: choose wood for grippier feel!
If you're frustrated with splitting yarn and slower stitching: choose metal for slick, sharp tips!
If you find your fingers fatigue easily: try Foursquare needles (and rest more!).
