These can be a little clunky, not in width, wish we could find really wide width cable needles, but they are clunky because they flip flop and make it a little harder to not flip your cable stitches. These are not a preferred cable needle, but will keep them as a backup to my rounded hook shape ones.

My instructor recommended this style of cable needle as opposed to the hook style (which seem to come in plastic vs metal). The slick surface has both advantages and drawbacks. It's easy to slip your cable stitches onto the needle, but they also easily fall off it. Similarly, the straight style is good for working with the stitches once they're on the needle, but I might try the hook variety to keep the stitches from sliding before I'm ready to knit them. I'm a new knitter, obviously, so maybe these are things you get more accustomed to with practice.

I love using metal for my knitting and these needles are perfect for me. They slide without being too slippery and hold the extra stitches perfectly.
