Knitting your work

You can choose straight knitting needles 35 cm long or circular (on the fishing line) 80-100 cm long. It all depends on personal preferences. Among the shortcomings of straight knitting needles, one can note the inconvenience of knitting in public transport or other similar conditions, as well as a limited length (35 cm or less) - it will be inconvenient to try on knitting, because it is difficult to expand the canvas in full width. In circular knitting needles, knitters note an uneven transition from knitting needles to fishing line and twisting of the fishing line, which make knitting difficult. But quality knitting needles, like Addi, don't have these flaws. Knitting moves on knitting needles freely and does not twist. Also, there is no breaking of the fishing line at the junctions with the spoke.

Choosing the material of knitting needles

When knitting delicate things, many knitters recommend using wooden (bamboo) knitting needles, as with a large number of yarn, they will not jump off the knitting needles.
