Knit Pro Interchangeable Needles Starter Set

Knit Pro Interchangeable Starter set is great for beginners and experienced knitters. 3 pairs of needle tips and 3 cables in a vinyl pouch. If you are not familiar with this great system, read TIPS and CABLES below.
This set includes needle tips in sizes 4mm, 5mm and 6mm (sizes 8,6, and 4 in old sizes) and cables in 60cms,80cms and 100cms lengths. There are 6 end caps and 3 cable tightening keys all packed into a pocketed vinyl pouch. You can, of course, add different size tips as you require them. I find a 3.25 (old size 10) useful.

TIPS and CABLES.
The tips are the pointed ends of the needles. The cables provide the length. The system enables you to have different sizes of needles in different lengths. The Knit Pro tips are made from fabulous rainbow coloured birch wood with sharp, tapered tips and a hollow end into which you screw a cable length. They are surprisingly strong and being lightweight and made from wood are kind to your hands. Using this system of interchangeable needles has big advantages while you are knitting. No long needles to contend with - great for anyone sitting beside you! The weight of your knitting can be in your lap instead of on the ends of the needles. No more big bundles of needles in all sizes and lengths. Easily change from one size needle to another, securing your knitting on the cable while you change.
