FAQs

How do I determine the correct cable length for my project?

The finished needle length is the cable length plus the length of two needle tips. KnitPro provides specific measurements for finished needle lengths with both normal and special tips for each cable size.

Can I use these cables with other brands of interchangeable needles?

These cables are designed specifically for KnitPro interchangeable needle tips and hooks. Compatibility with other brands is not guaranteed.

What is the advantage of the 360º swivel design?

The 360º swivel prevents the cable from twisting and tangling as you knit, leading to a smoother and more comfortable experience, especially with larger projects.

Do I need special needle tips for all cable lengths?

No, only the shortest cables (20cm and 30cm) require special, shorter needle tips to achieve the specified finished needle lengths (40cm and 50cm). Standard tips work with longer cables.

How do I clean my KnitPro swivel cable?

Wipe the cable with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or soaking the cable.

What is included with the cable?

Each cable pack typically includes one swivel cable, two end caps to hold stitches, and one cable key for tightening connections.

What is the warranty on these cables?

KnitPro products, including these cables, are guaranteed for one year from the date of purchase against manufacturing defects.

Troubleshooting

Cable connection feels loose.

Use the provided cable key to gently tighten the connection between the cable and the needle tip. Ensure no debris is present in the threads.

Stitches snagging on the connection.

Ensure the cable is fully tightened. Check for any rough edges on the needle tips or connectors; if present, contact customer support.

Cable is twisted despite the swivel feature.

The swivel is designed to minimize twists. Ensure the swivel mechanism itself is clean and free of obstructions. If the cable itself has a persistent kink, it may need to be laid flat to relax.

End caps do not fit securely.

Ensure you are using the correct size end caps (if multiple sizes are provided, though typically one size fits all KnitPro cables). Check the cable end for damage.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Eliminates cable twisting and tangling during knitting.
  • Smooth nylon coating provides effortless stitch glide.
  • Durable stainless steel construction ensures longevity.
  • Memory-free design maintains cable shape.
  • Secure connection system prevents accidental detachment.
  • Multiple cable lengths offer project versatility.

Cons

  • Shorter cables (20cm, 30cm) require special, shorter needle tips.
  • Cables are sold individually, requiring separate purchase of multiple lengths if needed.
  • Requires KnitPro interchangeable needle tips or crochet hooks for use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure you have KnitPro interchangeable needle tips or Tunisian/Afghan crochet hooks.
  2. Screw the cable into the connector of one needle tip until it feels snug.
  3. Use the provided cable key to gently tighten the connection. Do not overtighten.
  4. Attach the second needle tip to the other end of the cable.
  5. If removing tips, use the cable key to loosen and then carefully slide off the tip. Place end caps onto the cable to secure stitches.

Compatibility:

  • Compatible with all KnitPro interchangeable needle tips.
  • Compatible with KnitPro Afghan / Tunisian crochet hooks.
  • Note on Lengths:
  • 20cm & 30cm cables require special (shorter) needle tips to create 40cm/16" and 50cm/20" total needle lengths.
  • 35cm, 56cm, 76cm, 94cm, and 126cm cables are compatible with normal (standard) needle tips.

Care:

  • Wipe the cable with a slightly damp cloth if needed. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  • Store cables flat or loosely coiled to maintain their shape and prevent kinks.
