What’s the Stitch About Knitting Machines?
Let's talk about knitting machines! What are they, how do they work, and does it count as hand crafting if you use one? Why choose a knitting machine vs knitting by hand?
Knit with ease, without the worry of dropped stitches, with these smooth and snag-free needles. Crafted from 100% copper, these beautiful needles will last for years to come. With a quick turn of the tightening key, memory-free cords secure to the needle & lock into place. Over time, these needles will acquire a soft patina & may be left or polished away with Lykke Copper Polishing Cloths to maintain the bright, shiny finish.
*If you make a lot of hats or smaller items that require a 16" needle, you will need to purchase the 3.5" set. The 5" set is too long to make a 16" needle.
