Pony knitting pins are of excellent quality:- durable, tough, with a smooth surface and good points for easy transfer of stitches making them easy to work with.
They come in a fantastic range of lengths and thicknesses, perfect for all tasks and tastes. 35mm is the traditional standard size. If you are an under-armer go for 40cm. Sizes 2mm-,6.5mm are plastic coated, thereafter they are made of hollow plastic.
