Why is Nancy's Knit Knacks gauge better than any other on the
market?
Its size fits into your hand properly and you can
manipulate the needles into and out of the holes more easily than with the
other gauges
It has more needle size holes than any other gauge - 24 in
total.
It is accurate. NKK machined each hole into the plastic
with a computerized cutting machine (CNC cutter). The others stamp theirs
out of metal or mold them in plastic. Both methods are inferior when
compared to CNC operations. Why does NKK use the more expensive method CNC?
Because it is more accurate.
It has the metric and US needles sizes as well as Crochet
Hook sizes.
NKK's gauge is made in the USA. Theirs are typically made
in China, India, and Germany.
NKK's gauge is legible. They use a special ink that prints
crisply and will not wear off.

Package of 4 Tubes...$6.50 #649114
Why are NKK DP Needle Tubes so great?
They are inexpensive, so you can easily afford to own one
or more packages of 4 tubes.
They protect needles better than any other solution
while maintaining a sleek form factor.
They are flexible and expand to hold the shortest needles
up to needles with lengths of 10". They do this while protecting both
the needle bodies and tips. Needles cannot be broken while inside our tubes.
Fabric holders cannot make that same claim nor can the "rubber band or
closure" systems.
They are attractive - in glossy Royal Blue and Yellow
colors.
The needle sizes can be written on the yellow cap (or tube
body) with a Sharpie brand marker.
They are made in the USA
They just plain work, and work well.

A light cream that glides on smoothly and leaves no greasy after-feel.
It was developed for people who suffer from chapped hands in the winter or
do a lot of outdoor work in the summer. The secret ingredient is lanolin
- the waterproof oil extracted from sheep's wool - which protects the skin while
absorbing quickly.
It also contains kokum butter. Extracted from
the kernels of the Kokum tree (Garcinia indica) native to India, this butter
contains excellent emollient properties that help to soften & soothe dry and
damaged skin while restoring elasticity and flexibility. As well as sunflower
oil - often referred to as nature’s “second skin”, an oil
rich in vitamins A & E (a natural antioxidant) and containing essential
fatty acids that help to hold moisture next to your skin.
Scented with several different fragrance or essential oils, this cream is also
excellent for callused and dry feet and toes. Now contains Silk Amino Acids - a protein which
increases your skin's ability to retain moisture while it protects &
conditions, and Chamomile extract known for its
skin-soothing and softening effect. Handcrafted by As You Like It
Soaps.
