The KnitPro Dreamz Deluxe set is an interchangeable needle set with tips made from FSC-certified birchwood. It holds tips in nine sizes: 3, 3.5, 4, 4.5, 5, 5.5, 6, 7 and 8 mm (about US 2.5 to US 11).
The tips are color-coded, so you can spot the size at a glance, and they're tapered for good stitch definition. Wood is smooth and warm in the hand, with a little more grip than metal, which helps keep stitches on the needle.
It suits knitters who want one set for fingering through chunky yarns, for flat and circular projects, especially anyone who prefers wood.
Good for
- Sweaters knit in the round
- Lace and other fine projects
- Slippery yarns that slide on metal
- Knitters who find metal needles cold or hard on the hands
Using it
The set includes four 360° swivel cables, one 24" (60 cm), two 32" (80 cm) and one 40" (100 cm), along with 8 end caps, 4 cable keys and cable connectors for joining cables on extra-long projects. Tighten each tip with a key so it doesn't loosen mid-row. The swivel cables help with magic loop. Wood tips can wear or snap if they're forced, so ease stitches over rather than prying them.
Looking after it
Store everything in the Bordeaux fabric case. Wipe tips with a dry cloth and keep them away from water and heat, and coil cables loosely.
