Wow, great knitting needles - "handschmeichelnd" she beschreit still not good enough. They slide right in knitting between the fingers, are warm and very pleasant. I knit therefore also faster than with plastic, metal or other timber. They are very smooth, still "stick" the fingers do not mind. I am really pleased - as with the long knitting needles of the same shipment. And the price is very cheap compared to other needles. (The price is only asks who has it manufactured under what working conditions ...)
