What are sock knitting needles and when do you use them?
Sock knitting needles are special short knitting needles used for knitting round projects such as socks, hats and gloves. Unlike regular long knitting needles, you work with several needles at the same time to create a seamless, round shape. This set of 5 needles gives you the flexibility to apply different techniques.

Why choose aluminium knitting needles of 200 mm?
These aluminium sock knitting needles have a smooth surface, so the stitches glide easily over the needles while you knit. The length of 200 mm offers enough working space for most sock and hat projects, without the needles becoming awkwardly long. Aluminium is lighter than steel and warms up faster in your hands, which makes knitting more comfortable.

The right needle thickness for your projects
At a thickness of 3.0 mm, these needles are suitable for medium-weight yarns and produce an attractive, even stitch size. This size is often used for socks in standard sock yarns and for hats in regular knitting yarn. The grey colour ensures the needles don't distract from your work and remain clearly visible against different yarn colours.

Practical tip for use
When you start with sock knitting needles, divide the stitches evenly over 4 of the 5 needles and use the fifth needle to knit with. Make sure you don't knit too tightly at the beginning of each needle, so you don't get ladders in your work later on. After use, store the needles in a protective pouch to prevent scratches.
