I’ve snapped plastic needles in the past so I usually go for metal. However, I was just watching a video that said plastic needles prevent chenille yarn from shedding (?) as much. I’ve noticed over the past few days it does help a bit!:yellow_heart:

I once had to use a plastic needle since i lost all my metal ones, and I didn’t enjoy it very much. it was hard to push the needle back through the amigurumi in the spot I wanted it to, so I’m metal all the way!

I’m a crocheter mainly and have discovered that Furls Streamline Metal hooks are not just ergonomic and fit in my hand, but the metal ones keep my essential tremors at bay much longer so I can crochet much longer as well. I’ve been using their Streamline hooks for years, but the woods and resins just weren’t enough. Haha! So I’m selling off like 30-40 of them! Sadness, but why keep them if I can’t use them, right?

Well let me know if you want any of these. I’m selling them for $10/ea. plus $5 shipping. I have cute lavender boxes for them as well. But DO go Furls Crochet and look at all the great stuff they make! They have their own yarn, hook stands and trays, leather totes and hook cases, patterns, of course, and yarn bowls. So much! Anyway, let me know. Happy Thanksgiving!
