If you are just starting out, it is best to choose straight knitting needles between 30 and 35 cm long, 5–6 mm thick and made of wood or bamboo, as these help prevent the stitches from slipping. They are easy to control and allow you to see clearly how the fabric is progressing.

Needles and crochet hooks for crafts and handicrafts for your projects
Knitting needles and crochet hooks are essential tools for anyone who enjoys knitting, crocheting, embroidery or punch needle art. Every craft project, whether it's a garment, an accessory or a decorative piece, begins with choosing the right type of needle or hook. In this specialised section, you will find everything from basic models to advanced options for specific techniques, such as straight knitting needles, interchangeable circular needles and ergonomic crochet hooks.
Whether you are just starting out or are already an expert knitter, having the right equipment makes all the difference. From those looking to buy knitting needles for their first projects to those who prefer to invest in a set of crochet hooks online that covers multiple thicknesses, this collection is designed to help you make a good purchasing decision with all the information clearly laid out.
Types of needles and crochet hooks: a guide to choosing the right one
In this section, we have grouped together all the main types of needles and crochet hooks you may need for your projects: straight knitting needles, fixed and interchangeable circular needles, double-pointed needles, combination sets, wool needles, punch needles and crochet hooks. Each one has specific characteristics that are suited to a particular technique, yarn thickness or level of experience.
Our goal is for you to be able to find and buy needles and crochet hooks online with confidence, knowing that you are accessing a carefully selected catalogue. Whether you need tools for embossed embroidery, a felting needle or a complete set with interchangeable circular cables, here we offer you the best foundation to advance your knitting and craft projects.
Crochet hooks
Crochet hooks are essential tools for anyone who crochets, whether for decorative projects, amigurumi or clothing. There are many different types of crochet hooks: from the finest for delicate yarns to the thickest, ideal for bulky wool. There are also ergonomic crochet hooks that improve hand posture and reduce fatigue, especially useful for long knitting sessions.
When buying crochet hooks online, pay attention to the material (aluminium, wood, plastic) and the type of handle. For those who work with different thicknesses of yarn, crochet hook sets offer a versatile and economical solution. Choosing the right crochet hook will make all the difference in the comfort and final result of your work.
Straight knitting needles
Straight knitting needles are the most traditional and recognisable knitting tools. They are commonly used to knit flat pieces such as scarves, blankets or parts of garments that are then sewn together. They are available in a variety of materials, such as wood, aluminium or bamboo, and lengths to suit the size of the project and the type of wool used.
If you are looking to buy straight knitting needles online, it is important to pay attention to both the needle size and the material. Wooden needles offer a warm feel and prevent stitches from slipping, while aluminium needles allow for faster knitting. They are an excellent choice for beginners and experienced knitters looking for precision and control.
Double-pointed needles
Double-pointed needles, also known as DPNs (Double Pointed Needles), allow you to knit in the round in small spaces without the need for seams. They are especially used for projects such as socks, sleeves, hats or knitted toys. They are generally used in sets of 4 or 5 needles to distribute the stitches, allowing you to work efficiently on small tubes.
Those looking to buy double-pointed needles should consider both the material and the length, as there are shorter or longer versions depending on the size of the project. These needles allow you to work without cables or joins and offer greater control on detailed pieces. They are a versatile tool for knitters who want to go beyond flat knitting.
Circular needles (fixed and interchangeable)
Circular needles consist of two tips joined by a flexible cable, allowing you to knit large pieces or in the round without seams. They come in two types: fixed, where the cable is permanently attached to the tips, and interchangeable, which allow you to remove and combine different cable lengths and needle sizes depending on the project.
If you are buying interchangeable circular needles online, bear in mind that they are ideal for versatile knitters: with a single set you can cover an infinite number of combinations. Fixed circular needles, on the other hand, are perfect for those who repeat similar projects or do not need as much flexibility. Both versions are comfortable, lightweight and allow you to work on entire garments with less weight and effort.
Needles for punch needle and other accessories
Punch needle needles are specific tools for creating raised embroidery by inserting loops into stretched fabric. There are two main types: thick needles for wool (ideal for rugs or decoration) and fine needles for embroidery threads or more delicate details. Both require fabrics such as monk's cloth or linen, stretched tightly on a frame.
Buying punch needle needles online is an ideal option if you are looking to explore new textile techniques or add texture to your creations. Some needles are adjustable in loop height, others are fixed. There are also sets that include different needle diameters so you can change the thread according to the design. This is a booming technique, ideal for both decoration and original accessories.
Needle and Crochet Sets
Needle and crochet hook sets are a practical option for those who work with different yarn thicknesses or multiple techniques. These sets can include straight knitting needles, fixed circular needles, interchangeable circular needles, double-pointed needles or crochet hooks, all in a single case. They are especially useful if you knit often and want to keep everything organised and close at hand.
When purchasing a set of knitting needles or crochet hooks online, you can find combinations with different sizes, cables, connectors, and accessories. They are perfect for those who want flexibility, efficiency, and a neat presentation. They are also a great option as a gift or as an investment for advanced knitters looking for performance and comfort.
Wool needles and other auxiliary needles
Within the world of needlework, there are also specialised needles for specific functions, such as wool needles —used for sewing, finishing and joining knitted pieces— or felting needles, designed for felting wool using puncture techniques. They usually have wider tips, large eyes or specific shapes for finishing tasks.
Buying wool needles or felting needles online gives you access to different variants depending on the technique you use: straight, curved, multiple or with an ergonomic handle. These tools, although small, are essential for achieving professional finishes, especially in techniques such as amigurumi, three-dimensional embroidery or dry felting.
How to choose needles and crochet hooks?
Choosing the right needles and crochet hooks is essential to enjoying the process and getting good results. It's not just about the needle size or the type of yarn, but also the type of technique you're going to use and your level of experience. For example, if you are going to knit flat, straight aluminium or wooden knitting needles may be ideal, while if you are working on circular garments, interchangeable circular needles offer versatility and comfort.
The material also has a big influence. Bamboo or wooden needles are warm and non-slip, perfect for beginners or slippery yarns. Metal needles allow for greater speed and fluidity in knitting, which is why many advanced users opt for them. In crochet, ergonomic crochet hooks are highly valued by those who knit for long periods of time. When buying needles and crochet hooks online, it is important to know these details in order to make the right choice.
It is also a good idea to consider the type of project. For socks or narrow sleeves, double-pointed needles allow you to work with precision and without seams. For raised embroidery, punch needle needles require specific fabrics and thicknesses. And if you are interested in covering several techniques at once, you can opt for a set of needles and crochet hooks that includes multiple sizes and styles. Each tool has its purpose, and knowing this allows you to progress with confidence and comfort.
