Overview
Knitting small-gauge pieces in the round or flat is what this long stainless steel circular needle is set up for. The long length leaves room for a wide run of stitches, while the small size matches fine yarn.
Steel and a long length make it a tool for wide pieces knit at a small gauge. The limits are that the listing gives no cable or tip description and refers warranty questions to the seller.
Who it's for
Wide, fine-gauge knitting where stitches need a lot of room on the needle. Anyone knitting small tubes, or working with bulky yarn, needs a shorter length and larger size.
Pros and cons
- Long length for wide pieces
- Small size for fine yarn
- Stainless steel material
- Light weight listed
- Too long for small tubes
- Cable and tip details missing
- Warranty details sent to seller
Performance notes
Needle diameter sets stitch size, so the small size gives a dense, fine fabric. The long length carries many stitches at once, while steel gives a slick surface for stitches to move along.
