I look at the link you had provided. They do look nice. They cost more than I am used to paying for needles. Maybe I will treat myself to a pair as a reward after getting through the college class I just started today. I am going to need an incentive :) Marilyn

Are they made of aluminum or something else? I couldn't find a good description anywhere.

My friend Jan in MN asked: Are they made of aluminum or something else? I couldn't find a good description anywhere.

--------- I believe the Signature Needles are made of anodized aluminum. I will copy the owner on this posting and perhaps we can get an _official_ statement on that point. All I know is that they are absolutely the best needles I have ever used, period.

Custom Needles by Signature Needles Aluminum needles provide light weight and strength and allow stitches that move quickly on the sleek surface. They are rust free and non- allergenic. Unfortunately, the options for metal knitting needle lovers have been limited. Signature needles have a surface that has been hand polished to an 8 micron finish right here in the USA. In addition, a choice of points for different yarns, different needle lengths for different projects, and an array of beautiful caps make for a needle personally designed by you for you.

Thanks, Padishar
