1 - 8 products
Straight needles are essential accessories for knitting, sewing and creative hobbies. Their simple design, consisting of a rigid shaft with one or two points, makes them easy and intuitive to use. Unlike circular needles, straight needles are perfect for knitting flat pieces such as scarves, blankets or garments. They are also suitable for certain sewing and upholstery jobs, thanks to their robustness and quality. These straight needles offer unrivalled precision and are ideal for working with different yarns, wools and fabrics. As a result, straight needles are versatile and suitable for a multitude of applications.
Straight knitting needles come in a wide variety of materials, each with its own advantages. Bamboo needles are lightweight, environmentally friendly and offer a comfortable grip, perfect for knitting or sewing for hours on end. Aluminium is a popular choice for its strength and optimum glide, making it easy to work with all yarns and wools. Plastic is economical and easy to handle, making it perfect for beginners. For projects requiring durability and precision, Stainless Steel needles are ideal, while Glass needles add a touch of elegance. Choosing one material rather than another for your straight needles is above all a matter of taste and knitting habits.
The points of straight needles play a crucial role in their use and their power of precision for your knitting projects. Fine points are ideal for precision knitting with delicate yarns and wools such as Mohair and Silk, or for sewing intricate patterns on fabrics. Rounded tips, on the other hand, are perfect for working with thick yarns such as Merino Wool or Cotton. For specific projects, some straight needles come with tips specially designed to penetrate denser fabrics. Our straight needles are also available in single or double points.
Straight knitting needles are available in a range of lengths and sizes to suit all your creative knitting and sewing projects. The lengths, ranging from 20 to 40 cm, allow you to work on both lightweight accessories and bulky pieces. The size of the diameter of the straight needle, ranging from 2 to 25 mm, should be chosen according to the project required and the thread used, whether wool or other more specific materials. A fine diameter size is suitable for delicate yarns and baby wear yarn for precise creations, while a larger needle diameter size is ideal for knitting with thick yarns and wools.
There are a number of criteria to take into account when choosing your right needles for knitting. The material is essential : Bamboo is ideal for comfortable, lightweight knitting, while steel or stainless steel offer great strength for demanding projects. The size and length of the needles should correspond to the type of yarn or fabric being used. For example, a fine Aluminium needle will be perfect for a delicate Cotton yarn, while a wider Plastic needle will be suitable for simple, thick yarns such as Acrylic.
