Circular Needles
1 - 9 products
Unlike straight knitting needles, fixed or interchangeable circular needles consist of 2 points connected by a flexible cable of variable length. Circular needles are mainly used for knitting in the round, but they can also be used for large, flat projects such as blankets. By opting to buy a pair of circular knitting needles, you are choosing optimum comfort. Circular needles distribute tension more evenly over the hands and wrists than straight needles. You can choose between fixed or interchangeable circular needles, depending on your knitting preferences and the size of your projects. The price of a circular needle can vary according to the material of the point and cable, brands and features. Discover our wide range of circular needles and other knitting accessories !
Prym fixed circular needles are perfect for knitting projects requiring a fixed-length cable. They’re generally simpler to use, as you don’t need to fiddle with bits to change the cable that’s connected to the needle points. These fixed-length circular needles are particularly suitable for knitting small projects such as hats or socks. Circular needles are available in a range of materials, including aluminium, metal and bamboo. So you can choose the best circular needle option depending on the type of yarn you’re using, whether it’s Wool or any other material. Fixed circular needles are generally more affordable than interchangeable circular needles. On the La Lainière de Wazemmes online store, we offer 40 cm fixed circular knitting needles or 80 cm fixed circular knitting needles.
Knit Pro or Prym interchangeable circular needles are ideal for knitters who want greater flexibility for their creative projects. These circular needles feature detachable, interchangeable tips, so you can change the cable to suit the project. You can choose the type, fixed or swivel, and length of cable for each project, so you can knit both small items like socks and larger projects like jumpers with the same interchangeable circular needle tips. What’s more, interchangeable circular needles give you the option of using metal, bamboo or even plastic tips, depending on your personal preferences and the type of yarn you’re using. Opt for a set of interchangeable circular needles for greater practicality and variety in all your knitting projects !

Our circular needles are available in a range of sizes, from 2 to 15 mm in diameter, and in lengths from 40 to 150 cm. All circular needles are made up of 2 points and a cable. In the case of fixed circular needles, the cable and needle points form a single, inseparable element. However, it is also possible to purchase needle points individually, separate from the cable, which can itself be purchased individually without the points. The combination of points and cable then forms what are known as interchangeable circular needles. To complete your stock of accessories, you can also opt for a kit of circular needles with matching points and cables of different sizes and lengths.
Cables and points are essential elements in the construction and proper use of circular needles, whether fixed or interchangeable. Cables can be made of nylon, plastic or metal, and are available in different lengths to suit all projects. Cable diameter does not vary with length. The tips of interchangeable circular needles, also known as spikes, are often designed to attach easily to cables, allowing you to change cable lengths quickly if necessary. In addition, the stitch stoppers supplied with all Prym or Knit Pro cables allow you to secure stitches and take a break from your ongoing project. You can buy tips and cables individually or as part of a complete kit of interchangeable circular needles.
Choosing the right circular needles depends on several factors. For a round knitting project, choose circular needles that will allow you to work comfortably with your wool yarn. If you’re knitting small projects, such as socks or hats, opt for circular needles with short cables of 40 to 80 cm and fine needle tips from 2 mm. If you’re working on a large project, such as a jumper or blanket, interchangeable circular needles with very long cables of 100 to 150 cm will be more suitable. The material of which the needles are made also influences the grip and the way the stitches glide over the point, so choose your needles according to the type of yarn you’re knitting, whether it’s wool or another material. So, depending on the size of the project and the type of yarn, you’ll choose needles of different sizes and materials to optimise your knitting experience.
Unlike straight knitting needles, circular knitting needles are known for their flexibility, comfort and ease of handling. Thanks to their ergonomic design, circular needles allow knitting without causing excessive fatigue in the hands or wrists, making them ideal for large-scale projects. Thanks to the circular needle kits with needle tips and cables included, you can adapt your circular needles to suit all your knitting needs. Circular needles are made from a variety of materials, including aluminium, metal, wood, bamboo and stainless steel. Metal circular needles, like those made from Aluminium, are lightweight and glide easily, while those made from Wood or Bamboo offer a warmer, more pleasant grip.
