Molly hammers the Bronze, Silver and Gold-  like a blacksmith hammers on iron- while it is red hot.   Every pair has a unique pattern. The twisted pattern is only the last few inches of the shaft, and is hot forged into the solid Bronze.   These are all nice quality real stones- never glass crystal or synthetics. The yarn stops are set just the way two good finger rings would be.  sizes # 1, 3, 6, 8 and 10   Size #3 and 6 are 12 inches long, while size #1, 8 and 10 are 10 inches.   Molly finishes them by hand to a mirror finish so the yarn glides on them.       Molly incised these bone cabochons. The triple spiral, or triskele (tris-kale) is a symbol used by the Celtic people.  I can make a pair for you in a variety of sizes. Write to me for prices.           Sapphire  and Sterling           I can set your  Knitting Needles with matching  Precious  or Semi-Precious stones set in Sterling Silver or Gold bezels.
