DPN Sets

[Holly]

Hello all - Happy Friday! I'm in the market for DPNs. Does anybody know of a retailer that sells sets of DPNs (by sets I mean a set of several sizes)? I love having my Denise set because I know I'll always have the size needle I need, and I'd like to have something similar for DPNs.

I've not heard of sets of dpns as u described...but it sure would be a good idea :D

Hi Rebecca :D Do you have a favorite source for DPNs? I had a LYS in my area for a while, and they closed :( , so I'll probably order online.

Crystal Palace are great bamboo DPNs and are usually under $10. I like Lantern Moon Rosewood DPNs but they are pricy too. There are metal DPNs, but a lot of people don't like how slick they are.

i like aluminum straights, but prefer bamboo for DPN's. the stitches are so small, and the space with which to work is small as well. slipped stitches are not fun on DPNs. Bamboo is a little rough; i move my stitches where i want them and they behave on bamboo!

I just saw some wonderful dpns @ our very own Kemp's store... www.divaknitting.com

Personally, I like metal dpns because they're faster and they don't bend like bamboo needles do. As metal dpns go, I prefer Inox because they have a nice feel to them and they come in packs of five.

There are quite a few sellers on eBay who sell big sets, like this .
