My main reason for finding these needles was size!! Although many needles are excellent quality there is still problems with using them depending on your hand size and/or physical issues. For me...large hands and arthritis. Not too long and thin nor are they too short and hard to hold on too. These just fit the bill perfectly without compromising on quality!!
