Brittany Birch Double-Pointed Needles

Manufacturer

Brittany

Material

Birch

Notes

As with Brittany single-point needles, these lightweight polished birch needles have a subtle shine, yet the polish provides an almost tacky texture to the surface.

This means you have excellent control over your stitches.

There's a medium taper and moderate, well-rounded tip.
