Double-Point Needles Available in US #1.5 (2.5mm)
Please note that I’ve limited listed lengths to 8 inches (20cm). Some brands do manufacture 2.5mm double-point needles in longer lenghts (e.g.: 9″, 10″ and so on). I chose not to include these here because these lengths aren’t commonly used for sock knitting.
Trish of Random Threads has a great blog article discussing different DPNs and their tips/points. Check it out!
