RBW Knits

 I’ve always been a fan of wooden dpns. They feel good in hand , the yarn stays put well, and they usually have good sharp points.

I’m always keen to try new knitting products when I can afford to so I took the opportunity to order a set of Karbonz dpns.  I’m sure everyone that knits socks has already tried these  I’m really loving these needles!  They get a big 5 star review from me!  They feel great in hand  they have great sharp points and hold onto the yarn really well   My only con would be I wish these were 5” instead of 6” needles  But I will get used to the length I think  I’m now keen to try a pair of the Karbonz interchangeable needles!
