Bamboo Double Pointed
Where can I purchase Double Pointed Knitting needles that are of solid metal, not hollow?
My mother used to have double Pointed Knitting Needles that were solid metal of some sort. She had many colors and lengths. I would like to find out where I can purchase some that are at least 10" or longer. I use these for my hair. Nothing else works in existance. I can not use the light hollow needles, nor plastic or bamboo etc.
Thanks for your help in advance!!
You already asked this question. You won't find them at Walmart or hobby stores which sell Susan Bates or Boye needles (hollow aluminum). Solid metal are premium needles. You get the hollow ones for $3-$4 a set and the premium ones for $10-$20 a set. You'll have to purchase them at a yarn specialty shop. I gave you online links last time.
10" is not a standard length. 4", 6" and 8" are. Now that circular needles are so popular there aren't as many choices in DPNs available. If her needles are old, it may be they're from before the circular revolution. Elizabeth Zimmerman brought us into the age of circulars back in the 80's.
I suggest you go to a welding shop and get stainless steel rod and ask them to cut it to length, then file the ends into points. If you want different colors, you'll need to paint them. Ask for tig wire. They'll know what it is.
