Product Information

Full details

This KnitPro Japanese Bamboo Deluxe Interchangeable Circular Knitting Needle Set is designed for knitters seeking a luxurious and versatile tool for various projects. Its key benefit is the smooth, natural feel of Japanese bamboo combined with the flexibility of interchangeable needles, allowing for custom cable lengths and needle tip combinations. A potential caveat is that bamboo needles can be less forgiving for beginners than metal, as stitches may not slide as freely. The set includes 13cm needle tips in 10 popular sizes, multiple swivel cables, and essential accessories, all organized in a portable fabric case.

FAQs

What sizes of needle tips are included?

The set includes 10 pairs of 13cm needle tips in the following sizes: 3.0mm, 3.5mm, 4.0mm, 4.5mm, 5.0mm, 5.5mm, 6.0mm, 7.0mm, 8.0mm, and 10.0mm.

What lengths of cables are provided?

The set includes three swivel cables: one 60cm cable and two 80cm cables, and one 100cm cable.

Are the cables compatible with other KnitPro needle sets?

Yes, KnitPro interchangeable cables are generally compatible with KnitPro interchangeable needle tips of the same type and size range.

How do I clean the bamboo needle tips?

Gently wipe the bamboo needle tips with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid soaking them in water or using harsh cleaning agents.

What is the warranty on this product?

All KnitPro products are guaranteed for one year against manufacturing defects.

Can I use these needles for very fine projects like lace edgings?

While the 3.0mm needle is suitable for finer yarns, the 13cm length might be long for very small circumference items. For smaller projects, shorter needle tips or fixed circular needles might be more comfortable.

What does 'swivel cable' mean?

A swivel cable allows the needle tips to rotate independently of the cable. This feature prevents the cable from twisting and kinking during knitting, providing a smoother experience.

Troubleshooting

Needle tips feel wobbly.

Ensure the cable is screwed in tightly. Use the provided cable key to tighten the connection between the needle tip and the cable.

Stitches snagging on the connection.

Verify that the cable connector is fully seated and that there are no burrs. Sometimes, gently smoothing the join with a very fine-grit sandpaper or nail file can help, but do so with extreme caution.

Cable is kinking or twisting.

Ensure you are using the included swivel cables. If the issue persists, check that the needle tips are not overly tightened, which can restrict cable movement.

Cannot find a specific needle size.

Refer to the packaging or product description for the complete list of included sizes (3.0mm to 10.0mm). If a size is missing, contact customer support.
