Double pointed needles are used to knit in the round for items that are too small for circular needles, such as the crown of a hat, or the sleeve of a baby sweater and the Zing’s are a stunning choice of needle especially if you favour metal over wood. The slightly satin-like finish feels comfortable to touch and doesn’t affect the glide of your stitches from one needle to the other. The tips are perfectly tapered and smooth with a suitably sharp point, although not so sharp as to poke holes in your index finger if you have a tendency to push the tips as you knit!
The Zing Double Pointed Needles are available in two lengths: 15cm and 20cm and come in a pack of 5 to allow for extra circumference, or to work as a cable needle if doing cable work.
If you’re more of a wood fan, you’ll love the Basix Double Pointed Needles by Knitpro.
