A knit hypodermic surrounded by imperial is size 21 what size would it be in a minute contained by metric?


Answers:    The highest size I can find within Imperial seem to be 14! But here are some size converter links for you anyway, possibly you could mail some of them see if they know what a size 21 would be -

Good luck :)

Well, using the second link from the above user, I figure out that imperial 19 is 1.0 mm... so extrapolating that would make 21 around 0.5 mm. That is EXTREMELY small though and I don't believe they make needles that size (I deem if you knit at that size you use wire or something).
British Imperial sizes used to dance from 14 (the smallest at 2mm) to 000 (the largest at 10mm)

American sizes work the other way around going from 0 (the smallest at 2mm) to 15 (the largest at 10mm)

If you enjoy the actual needle you can work out the metric size by placing it on a ruler and reading the depth of the needle.
There are some intensely tiny knitting needles available for making clothes for dolls house degree people. I've no hypothesis what the size is try searching dolls house furniture suppliers
You can buy a syringe gauge for smaller number than $2 at any crafts store (JoAnn, Michael's, AC Moore, etc.) or in the crafting screened-off area at Wal-Mart:

Poke a needle through the different holes -- the largest hole through which the needle fits is the correct size: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/knitting_ne...

(Gauge rulers are marked next to both metric & US sizes.)
A needle that size is probably what the US would occupancy a 6 aught (000000) or 8 aught (00000000) needle, collectively used for fine lace work. It isn't likely, unless you can find an antique bell measuring device in the UK that you will find a modern hypodermic gauge next to that size available.

These needles are, indeed, generally referred to surrounded by the UK as wires.
