Seconds happen. The Northern Light™ anodized needles are dyed, and anytime dye is involved in anything, errors occur. Most anodized needles that we consider "seconds" have what is known as "voids." These are areas that did not take the dye properly. Occasionally the color itself is off. Seconds are great needles - their dye job is not so great. Voids do not affect the performance of the needles, nor do they cause the needles to wear any differently.
If we ever ship out seconds in error, please let us know immediately. We do our best to catch any that occur, but a change in lighting, turning a needle just so, and the impact of handling so many of them at a given time leaves room for mistakes to happen. If you pay for first run, first rate needles, that is what you should receive, and nothing less.
However, if you want a great performing needle at a great price, our seconds are second to none! As we go through the batches, we will list these needles here.
Please note: To those buying tips from the Turnings and Seconds listings each week: Our shopping cart is over selling. Too many people are hitting it at the same time. Granted, it is a good problem to have and one we thank you for, but it is still a problem.
The cart provider is working on a solution but does not have one as yet. Last week was particularly bad and Tom went ahead and made up needles for those orders where we were short. He cannot do that each week, however. The point of these listings is to find new homes for product on our shelves, not create work for Tom. His focus has to remain on the existing orders. Going forward, should we run short on one of the listings in Turnings or Seconds, we will refund instead of make new. We hope you understand.
