Product Information

Full details

This KnitPro Nova Double Pointed Knitting Needle Set is designed for knitters who frequently work on small, circular projects like socks, cuffs, or baby items. Its key benefit is the smooth, electroplated brass construction that allows stitches to glide effortlessly, enabling faster and more comfortable knitting. A potential caveat for some users might be the 20cm length, which is ideal for many small items but might be less versatile for slightly larger projects compared to longer needles.

Troubleshooting

Yarn feels sticky or snagging

Ensure the needles are clean and free of any residue. Occasionally, very fine yarns can catch on the transition point between the needle body and tip; try a slightly different angle of knitting or check for any burrs on the needle tip.

Needle size marking is difficult to read

While the pad-printed markings are durable, try cleaning the needle with a soft cloth. If extremely worn, use a magnifying glass to confirm the size.

Needles feel too short for a project

These 20cm needles are designed for small circumference knitting. For larger projects or more stitches, consider using longer double-pointed needles or circular needles.
