How do I clean the needles?

Can I use KnitPro Dreamz tips with cables from other brands?

Troubleshooting
Needles feel stiff or snag yarn.
Ensure the connection between the needle tip and the cable is completely smooth. Check for any debris in the threaded connection and wipe the needle with a soft cloth.
Needle tips are loose during knitting.
Carefully tighten the needle tip onto the cable using the cable key or by hand. Do not overtighten, but ensure a snug fit.
Wood has a rough spot.
Gently buff the area with a very fine-grit sandpaper or a piece of silk cloth. Be careful not to alter the needle's taper.
