So nice to work with
The feel of this yarn is such a pleasure.  It is smooth, knits quickly.  I'm using it for socks.  Just be careful of splitting the yarn.  Love that this has bamboo and cotton.

An alternative to the Blue Sky
I purchased these needles because they wood is a light color and I am making black socks.  The 6" length is perfect, the yarn moves along the needles very nicely.  These needles are a huge improvement to bamboo or other wood needles and definitely worth the price.  If there is a negative it is the little bag the needles are packaged in.  It is very cute but not at all protective for the fine needles.  I may just put them in the Blue Sky metal case that my other DPN are in.

Wonderful to work with
I have always preferred bamboo needles previously for my sock knitting.  Well, after knitting quite a few socks and deciding this is one of my favorite things to make, it was time to have some really good needles so I purchased a set of size Ƞ".  The Blue Sky Double Pointed Needles are wonderful.  The yarn slides very nicely and the needles are sturdy.  The 6" length is my preference for socks.  A great plus is the little metal case they come in for storage.  A negative......one of my needles broke while in my project bag.  Some kind of pressure must have been put on it.  Definitely a risk with size Ƞ".  And the needles only come in dark wood which makes working on dark yarn a big challenge. But I love these needles.

Lorna's Laces Sock Yarn
I used the Sock Yarn iin Parfait and the Knitting Pure and Simple pattern for a pair of women's socks for my daughter.  It was fast and simple.  Lorna's Laces yarns are my very favorite wool to work with and to wear.
