Knitpro Basix are pretty much exactly what they say on the tin – they’re simple, basic knitting needles made from a pretty, natural birch wood that allows for a smooth and comfortable knitting experience with every stitch.
The Basix are warm to the touch and gentle in your hand making them a fantastic needle choice for those who suffer from arthritis or troublesome hands. They’re also grippier than their metal counterparts, like ChiaoGoo, which helps keep your stitches from siding off the needle – great for those slippier fibres such as silk in your summer knitting projects.
The cables are resilient, and flexible and lay flat with no kink or twist. They are connected to the tips with a smooth join to ensure seamless knitting with no snagging or catching of your stitches.
Circular knitting needles are a must for knitting seamless knits such as sweaters and hats, but they’re also ideal for bearing the weight of larger flat projects such as cardigans and blankets. Simply choose the cable length and needle size that’s right for you and your knitting pattern, be it a hand knit sweater, socks, mittens, hats, and away you go.
