They're here!!!!
The DPN's loop stocks from Blackthorn are 15cm long (6") which is a good medium length.
Blackthorn double point needles are the only carbon fibre knitting needles in the world! They are not made of metal, wood, or plastic. They are made of Ccarbon fibre composite - the same material used in the new Boeing 787 Dreamliner & and the Blackbird Stealth Jet, as well as sporting goods that demand strength in a lightweight material.
With their nice pointy tips, the name Blackthorn DPNs described them perfectly.
Read about them on Ravelry!.This link will take you to theBlackthorn DPNs Group. The Group threads are packed with actual user reviews, pictures, comments and answers from fellow knitters.
The sets of 5 needles -- in eight sizes from 1.5mm (US 0000) to 3.5mm (US 4) have the feel of bamboo (smooth but not slick) and feel warm to the touch. They are as strong but more flexible than steel.
We are thrilled to have them at our shop!
