Interchangeable knitting needles work by first attaching the needle to the cord. Different brands have different methods of attachment – some screw together, some require a special key to screw the pieces together, and others “click” together with no screwing required.
Are bamboo or metal knitting needles better?
Bamboo needles are warm and smooth to the touch, making them ideal for those who don’t like the cold feel and clicking noise of metal needles. For beginner knitters, bamboo is our top choice. Bamboo needles are easier to handle than metal or other woods, because the stitches don’t slip off the needles.
How long should circular knitting needles be?
Circular needles hold up to 3 times the length of the cable only i.e. needle length minus the length of both the tips. For big knits such as a blanket the bulk of the knitted fabric you’re making is a factor, so need to allow more length for this.
