KnitPro | Aluminium Cable Needles, Cranked Shape

Description

Cables are a wonderful textural addition to knitting, and these aluminium cable needles are a great way to make cabling much easier.

If your next project involves cabling, KnitPro aluminium cable needles will save you much frustration. They hold the stitches you aren’t currently using. Cable needles are so much easier to use than a paper clip, a safety pin, or a bamboo skewer that will snag every single one of your stitches as you try to slide them off. They truly make cabling a pleasure.

Comes in a pack of 2 in different sizes, 2.5 mm and 4mm, suitable for 2 ply/laceweight to 10 ply/worsted, depending on your cabling preferences.

If you prefer wooden cable needles, KnitPro Symfonie cable needles may be just the thing!

Why We Love KnitPro Aluminium Cable Needles

These aluminium cable needles are smooth and lightweight, so that your stitches glide on and off easily. The crank shape gives a bend in the centre that holds stitches in place. These needles have well tapered tips to ensure a smooth transition from knitting needle to cable needle.
