Fixed circular knitting needles with a flexible cable to distribute stitch weight and promote a steady gauge. Lightweight aluminum tips provide a smooth working surface and a clean transition at the join to minimize snagging. The 40cm (16") format balances reach and packability, and the 5.5mm/US 9 size covers popular yarn weights. Dependable for garments, accessories and home décor, they suit daily practice, classes and travel knitting.
