Where can I buy fine 1.5mm knitting needles

#Post

Hi, I need some very fine knitting needles, either DP or straight pins (not circular). Does anyone know of 1.5mm needles being sold in New Zealand? Or other suggestions for some straight pins of some sort in this size? Thanks

You could buy some stainless steel rod at 1.5mm from a hardware place or hobby shop and cut it to length

If you are in Auckland, you can go to The Ribbon Rose otherwise they have auctions on here: https://www.trademe.co.nz/crafts/knitting-weaving/other/list

I bought a 1.75mm set earlier this year and I love them.

Thank you everyone. I had been googling but hadn't find those sites. Much appreciated.

I'd love to know what you are going to knit with them? Didn't even know they were made that small.

H Jan, not actually for knitting. For rolling paper for crafts.

I make gloves with them. I've just finished some 1930s gauntlets.

Bicycle spokes? Might be too small, probably only only 1mm dia, but they are stiff (to resist bends and kinks) and rustproof.

Try a charity op shop My local hospice shop has a bucket full of knitting needles, held behind the counter You have to ask for them
