Product Discussed:
Heard about these on Episode 142 of Knitting Pipeline where Paula talked about having ordered them. Dan ordered these for me on 9/10 and they arrived on 9/18.
I bought this set: Jin Que 32” circulars size 6-16
$5.69 plus $.99 shipping
According to the conversion chart these are 1.5mm to 5mm (000-8 in US sizing). I’ll let you know more about them when I start knitting with them
