Circular needles allow you to knit ‘tube’ projects in the round such as socks, cowls, hats – anything you fancy really! The best part is they can be used for flat knitting too – at the end of each row, just switch the needles around as you would with normal single-pointed needles, meaning your project sits in your lap as you work, instead of weighing down your poor arms!
These beautiful Symfonie Wood Interchangeable Needle Tips are ideal for anyone wishing to complement their existing collection of interchangeable circular needles. Of course the colour is what first catches your eye. But the beauty is more than skin deep. The layers of laminated birch give the needles a strength that is missing in regular wooden needles. The stability allows KnitPro to shape sharp points- particularly nice for lace knitting.
Being wood, the burnished surface has a slight grip so slick yarns like mohair and angora don’t slip off at the wrong time. This quality also makes them an excellent choice for beginning knitters, who sometimes have trouble keeping stitches on the needles.
Tips need to be attached to cables to make circular needles (cables sold separately).
They are designed for use with all KnitPro cables, except for the 40cm cable as this is designed specifically for KnitPro short tips. While the 40cm cable will attach to these tips, it will limit the angle you will be able to get between the tips to around 60 degrees. KnitPro tips and cables are interchangeable across all their ranges.
