Knitting needles are much more than just tools: they are an extension of your creativity ! Choosing the right pair of needles can transform your knitting experience, making every stitch more enjoyable and every project more satisfying. This comprehensive guide explores in depth the different types of needles, their materials, uses, popular brands and essential accessories.
Your choice of needles depends on the type of knitting you want to do. For beginners, straight Bamboo or Plastic needles can be a good starting point. For more experienced knitters, an assortment of metal or wooden circular needles may be more suitable. Prices vary according to the brand, material and type of needle. Plastic needles are generally the most affordable, while stainless steel or wooden needles can be more expensive. With La Lainière de Wazemmes, you can find the knitting needles you’re looking for without breaking the bank !
The choice of material is crucial. It influences the comfort, glide, durability and even the finish of your knitting. The most common materials are Bamboo, Aluminium, Steel, Wood and Plastic. Each has unique characteristics that make it more or less suitable for certain types of wool and projects.
Bamboo is a natural, light and supple material. Bamboo needles are ideal for fine wools and delicate yarns. They are soft to the touch and pleasant to use. However, they can be less resistant than other materials and break more easily.
Aluminium is a lightweight, corrosion-resistant material. Aluminium needles glide well and are suitable for most yarns and wools. They are a good choice for knitters looking for durable and versatile needles. However, they can be noisier and cooler to the touch than other materials.
Plastic is an economical and lightweight material. Plastic needles are suitable for beginners and simple projects. They are easy to care for and available in a variety of colours. However, they may not be as durable or glide as well as other materials.
There are several types of needles, each designed for a specific use.
Straight pairs of needles are the most classic. They are ideal for flat projects such as scarves or blankets. Circular needles are connected by a cable. They are perfect for knitting in the round without seams, such as jumpers or hats, but can also be used for complex projects. Double-pointed needles are used for small tubular items, such as socks or gloves.
