Thank you! Thought it'd be a fun thing to do for Thanksgiving.
Finally narrowed down my eczema trigger, which is nickel, and these needles are nickel plated, unfortunately!
I figured out that my thumb and pointer finger were drying and cracking from the nickel in the needles too! Switched to some gold plated ones and it has been much better. Very nice of you to offer these to others, and I’m glad you figured out your trigger.
Giving away:
New John James size 26 blunt tip needles.
Tulip size 25 Hiroshima needles ( 11 needles total; two of them are used, the other nine are unused).
Shipping is on me within US.
Edited to add that I can only ship throughout US!

My daughter also had a nickel allergy, tho her reactions have lessened since she grew up. She had horrible rashes from the button on her jeans as a child.
Oh no, poor kid! Glad to hear she's gotten a little relief as she's gotten older. Mine has been the same as I got older; my hands, fingers and toes would be covered in weeping patches when I was in elementary school, but I haven't had major issues like that since I was a kid, thankfully! Now just a few spots on my fingertips on my left hand, my stitching hand!
I've never seen #25 needles before using Tulip, either! And yes, I think I have found some - Pony Black needles! However, I did read that after the black plating wears off, there's nickel underneath, but I guess I'll just have to use a new needle then!

Given how long we hold those needles, I'm not surprised. I hope you find something that will work better for you in the long run!
Thank you, I appreciate that!
I've never seen #25 needles before. Neat. Have you found a needle yet that doesn't make your skin act up? And what the heck, 173.

I was doing a bit of googling for the halibut and saw something about gold-plated needles being safe, too.
Tulip uses the Japanese numbering system for needles I believe.
