Swing Needles were developed in association with "Fleece Artist". They are double pointed needles with a removable stopper, ideal for handpainted yarn. Colors are distributed to prevent color pooling. Working with two balls of yarn, unique textures  are created with little effort.

Use as follows:

Row 1: Knit with ball #1, remove stopper and place on opposite end, slide back to beginning of row and knit.

Row 2: Knit with ball #2, remove stopper and place on opposite end, turn work, repeat row 1 and 2 throughout.

These needles can be used as regular point needles as well, and they make dandy yarn holders.

TIP: slide the stopper on the needle and turn until tight. Because the stoppers are made of wood they may loosen up. If so, just tie a thread through the hole and this will hold it tight.
