When I was in Sweden last winter, I picked up a pattern at the Jamtli museum, for a pair of mittens from 1895. I also got yarn from the museum’s herd of heritage sheep! However, I don’t have any needles small enough. It calls for 2mm (US Size 0). I usually need to go up a size, and I usually knit with wooden or bamboo needles. I suspect I’ll have to use metal, though, as I’m not seeing any wooden ones that small, and that might change my gauge.
I’d rather not spend a fortune test-driving needles, so…what are your faves for this sort of thing?
