Extremely useful set of three cable needles in three sizes: 

• 3.25mm (US 3)
• 4.00mm (US 6)
• 5.00mm (US 8)

The grooved design helps to keep your stitches from slipping off while you cable, while the tapered ends help return the held stitches back to your main needles.

These needles are made of Ebony, one of the world’s most valuable woods because it's extremely dense and hard, making it highly durable. Unlike other woods, Ebony's denseness allows it to be polished to a very high degree of smoothness.

So these needles have all the strength and stability of metal, but with the warmth and lightness of wood.
