FAQs

What types of wood are used in these needles?

The needles are crafted from a fusion of three natural woods, sourced from sustainable forests, providing a unique blend of properties without the use of artificial dyes or pigments.

How do I connect the needle tips to the cables?

The patented GLYDON joint features a high-precision screw mechanism. Simply align the shank with the cable port and twist gently until securely connected.

Are these needles suitable for beginners?

Yes, the smooth finish and comfortable length make them suitable for beginners, though the GLYDON joint might take a moment to get used to compared to fixed circulars.

Can I use these needles with different brands of cables?

These needles are designed to be compatible with Pony cables that feature the GLYDON joint system. Using cables from other brands may not ensure a secure or smooth connection.

How should I care for the wood needles?

Wipe with a soft, dry cloth after use. For cleaning, use a slightly damp cloth and dry thoroughly. Store in a dry place away from extreme conditions. Avoid harsh chemicals.

What is the main benefit of the GLYDON joint?

The GLYDON joint provides an ultra-smooth transition from the needle tip to the cable, preventing yarn snags and allowing for faster, more effortless knitting.

Is the specific 5.50mm size good for all yarn weights?

The 5.50mm size is generally best suited for medium-weight yarns. For very fine or very bulky yarns, you may need to select needles in different sizes to achieve the correct gauge.

Troubleshooting

Needle tip feels rough or catches yarn.

Gently clean the needle tip with a soft, dry cloth. If the issue persists, inspect for any minor nicks and if necessary, very lightly buff with a fine-grit sandpaper or specialized wood needle conditioner.

Cable connection feels loose.

Ensure the needle shank is fully screwed into the cable port. Twist firmly but avoid over-tightening, which could strip the threads.

Yarn is snagging at the join.

Verify that the GLYDON joint is fully secured. Check for any burrs or imperfections at the join; a gentle buff might resolve minor snags.

Wood color appears faded or dull.

Wood can naturally lighten over time. Apply a small amount of natural wood polish or a specialized needle conditioning oil to restore luster. Avoid colored polishes.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Made from a blend of three natural, sustainable woods.
  • Beautiful, natural coloration without artificial dyes.
  • Strong yet flexible needle shafts.
  • Patented GLYDON joint offers a secure and seamless connection.
  • Ultra-smooth yarn transition minimizes snags.
  • Ergonomic 14cm length for comfortable use.

Cons

  • The GLYDON joint might require a short adaptation period.
  • Wood finish can be susceptible to damage from harsh chemicals.
  • Circular needles, while versatile, may not be preferred for all knitting techniques.
  • Specific sizes mean purchasing multiple sets for different projects.
  • Availability of specific wood combinations might vary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

To assemble the circular needles, simply align the screw mechanism on the needle shank with the corresponding port on the cable. Twist gently until the connection feels secure. The GLYDON joint is designed for an easy, twist-on attachment.

Compatibility:

These needles are compatible with other Pony cables featuring the GLYDON joint system. Ensure you are using the correct cable length for your project.

Care:

  • Wipe the needles with a soft, dry cloth after each use to remove any lint or residue.
  • For deeper cleaning, use a slightly damp cloth, but avoid soaking the wood. Ensure they are thoroughly dried afterward.
  • Store needles in a dry place, away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures, to maintain the integrity of the wood.
  • Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the natural wood finish.
