Knitting needles are also called auxiliary needles, knitting needles or aran needles. This purl needle is ideal for those who need to knit purls of 6 or more stitches. Pony has developed this auxiliary needle with a v-shaped bend, which gives you more control over the stitches in the purl waiting. The knitting needle is made of aluminium, the needle is therefore nickel-free. In addition, aluminium is a very light material to work with.
