Prym Natural wooden straight knitting needles, 40 cm, set of 2

Prym Natural straight knitting needles – wooden needles with a polished finish

Prym Natural straight knitting needles are 40 cm wooden knitting needles for cardigans, jumper pieces, shawls and other flat knitting worked in rows back and forth. Each pack contains 2 needles. The surface is smooth and polished, so the stitches slide evenly. The tapered tips make it easier to insert the needle into the stitches.

Each needle has its own natural wood grain, so no two look exactly alike. Wood feels warm and pleasant in the hand. The packaging is plastic-free. Choose the needle size from the options.

Choosing the right needle size

The needle size depends on your yarn and your pattern. A recommendation is usually given on the ball band of the yarn. What matters is the tension given in your pattern: before you start, knit a small swatch and check that the stitches and rows over 10 × 10 cm match. If the swatch does not match, go up or down one needle size.

What 40 cm needles are suited to

At 40 cm, the needle has room for pieces of medium width, such as sleeves, back pieces in smaller sizes, scarves or shawls. For very wide pieces with many stitches, a short needle gets crowded. In that case a longer needle or a circular needle is more comfortable.
