Crochet and knitting needles
Crochet and knitting needles are the tools that turn threads into ideas. In this category you will find needle types for different techniques: Crochet hooks for solid stitch work, circular knitting needles for seamless projects and jacket knitting needles for straight knitting with shorter cables. The right needle supports an even stitch pattern, comfortable working and a clean result.
What are the needles suitable for?
Circular knitting needles are ideal for sweaters, scarves and circular work without sewing. Jacket knitting needles (short cables or pairs of needles with short connecting cables) offer control for narrow work or when knitting sleeves and leg warmers. Crochet hooks are suitable for finer lace, fixed stitch patterns or decorative elements. There is a suitable needle size and material for every project.
How do you choose the right hook?
- The right size: Choose the needle size according to the yarn recommendation and your stitch sample - this affects the size and drape of the knitted piece.
- Length and comfort: Long circular needles are more comfortable for large shawls, shorter cables are more practical for narrow pieces.
- Material: Metal needles glide quickly, wooden or bamboo needles offer more grip and are more comfortable with slippery threads.
Processing and care
When knitting, make sure that the stitch gauge is even and adjust the needle size if necessary. Clean needles and store in a dry place, roll up cables carefully to avoid kinks. Replacement tips and storage cases extend the life of your tools.
