KnitPro: knitting needles, crochet hooks and accessories

KnitPro stands out for offering a very wide range of needles and accessories, with different materials, formats and collections designed for different types of knitter. From warm wooden needles to fast metal or steel options, the brand meets the needs of both beginners and people who knit every day.

Compared with brands that have smaller catalogues, KnitPro focuses on interchangeable systems that are compatible with each other, an extensive choice of complete sets and a strong emphasis on ergonomics, so that long-term comfort is a key factor in the design of their products.

In the KnitPro range you’ll find straight needles for flat projects, double-pointed needles for small-circumference projects (such as socks or hats), fixed circular needles for knitting in the round and interchangeable circular needle systems that allow you to combine different tips with different cable lengths.

On top of that you have classic crochet hooks, Tunisian crochet hooks, needle sets and cases that bring several sizes together in a single kit. This variety makes it possible to work on everything from small, detailed projects to blankets and large garments, always using tools from the same brand with a very consistent feel across the range.

KnitPro interchangeable circular needles consist of a pair of needle tips that screw into a flexible cable via a small connector. The cables are made from strong nylon and all KnitPro interchangeable systems are compatible with each other, so you can use the same tips with different cable lengths depending on the project.

The system is assembled and taken apart easily with the help of a small key that secures the join so it doesn’t loosen while you knit. This means you can very quickly turn the same combination of tips into a short needle for a hat, a long needle for a jumper, or even use two different cables to work with the magic loop technique.

KnitPro wooden needles are a good choice if you prefer a warm feel in your hands and more control over each stitch, as the yarn glides smoothly without slipping too much. They are especially recommended for beginners or for working with very slippery yarns.

Aluminium or stainless steel needles are faster, ideal for confident knitters who are looking for speed. Carbon fibre needles and other advanced material lines offer a well-balanced combination of lightness and precision, designed for demanding projects or for people who knit many hours a week. If you’re torn between several options, a common approach is to start with an intermediate material and then try new lines as you gain experience.

Yes. Although KnitPro is very popular among experienced knitters, many of their products are also designed for people who are just taking their first steps. Their basic interchangeable wooden or beechwood needle sets, for example, include the most commonly used sizes and enough cables for you to experiment with different types of projects without needing to buy lots of individual needles.

Starting out with well-designed tools also helps you establish good habits in terms of tension, posture and yarn handling. For a beginner, this can make the difference between feeling frustrated with uncomfortable needles or enjoying a much smoother knitting experience from the very first projects.

Looking after your KnitPro needles is straightforward, but it is worth following a few basic guidelines. Wooden needles should be stored in a dry place, away from direct sources of heat, and cleaned with a soft cloth if they get dirty. Metal or stainless steel needles can also be wiped with a slightly damp cloth and then dried thoroughly before you put them away, to avoid any traces of moisture.

As for the cables, it’s best to avoid bending them sharply and to store them without forcing tight twists so they retain their flexibility. If a join loosens with use, simply check that the cable is screwed in properly and use the small key included in many sets to secure the system before you start knitting again.

KnitPro interchangeable needle sets usually include several pairs of tips in the most commonly used sizes, several cables in different lengths, connectors, cable stoppers and keys for tightening the joins, all neatly organised in a good-quality case or pouch.

For many knitters, a set like this is an efficient way to put together a complete needle kit from the outset, as it allows you to tackle very different projects without having to buy every size separately. On the Garmonyarns website you can see a detailed breakdown of what is included in each KnitPro set, so you can check whether it contains the sizes and cable lengths you use most.

You can buy genuine KnitPro needles and accessories from specialist knitting and crochet shops that work with the brand’s official distributors. In Spain, Garmonyarns offers a selection of KnitPro products with stock held in the country, detailed product pages and customer service in Spanish to answer any questions before you buy.

By choosing a specialist shop you can be sure you are receiving authentic products, with a proper guarantee and after-sales support. It also makes it easier to complement your KnitPro needles and accessories with yarns, patterns and other materials that suit your way of knitting and the projects you have in mind.
