Needle Profile:
Pony Pearls Single-Pointed Needles

Manufacturer Pony Material Natural wood-based plastic; sizes US 0-8 have steel reinforcement in core. Notes The first thing you'll notice about these needles is their bright, trendy colors. They are made of cellulose acetate, a wood-based plastic that feels warm to the touch and has a moderate amount of flex. Sizes US 0-8 are reinforced with steel rods in their cores, which produce a potentially distracting rattle sound. They have a short taper and fairly blunt tip. Available Sizes Needles marked in metric sizes only. 9.75, 13.75 and 15.75-inch: mm 2, 2.25, 2.5, 2.75, 3, 3.25, 3.5, 3.75, 4, 4.5, 5, 5.5, 6, 6.5, 7, 7.5, 8, 9, 10, 12, 15 US 0, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 10.5, 10.75, 10.78, 11, 13, 15, 17, 19 Average retail price $4.50-$6.90 Made in India Review date 04/12/01  Discuss needles in our forums

"Pony pearls are my absolute favorite needles! I love the way they give a little when you knit, and the colors are nice too." apolcyn, 1/3/2002

"My favourite needles are Rhodo-Cristal by Nacre - these were made in France. These are similar to the Pony Pearl needles. I bought the ones I have many years ago. After much trouble searching for a place to buy new ones I discovered that the firm had been sold to the Pony Pearl company in India and they no longer make the double pointed needles." dapplebee, 4/16/01
