Package includes Frequently Asked: Question: Can this spiral needle be used on fingering weight yarn? Answer: Maybe, if you knit loosely on larger needles? I dont personally dont use this needle for cables on socks knit with fingering weight yarn on small needles (US1) as I knit tightly and there is no room to easily slide stitches onto the spiral needle from left to right.
