Knit longer, without the hand strain. If your hands ache after an hour of knitting, the square shape changes everything. Instead of a round needle pressing into a single point, four flat sides rest naturally against your fingers, so you grip without clenching. Knitters with arthritis, carpal tunnel, or hand stiffness tell us they can finally knit all evening again. Soft or Firm cable? This is the Soft cable. A genuinely memory-free line (yes, it's made from fly-fishing line) that stays supple and never holds a coil. It's the cable of choice for magic loop, sock knitting, and small-circumference projects like sleeves, hats, and mittens, and it packs beautifully for travel. If you'd rather have a cable that holds its shape for controlled flat and large-circumference work, choose our Firm cable version instead. Why knitters switch to square: Four flat sides, not a round tube — the geometry spreads pressure across your fingers instead of one contact point, which is why it's easier on arthritic, stiff, or fatigued hands Warm in the hand, never cold like steel — aluminum quickly takes on your body's warmth, so there's none of the cold-metal shock that stiff, achy hands feel with steel or nickel needles A true memory-free cable, made from fly-fishing line — supple and ultra-durable, so it never coils up, knots, or fights your stitches through a magic-loop project The square profile grips the yarn — stitches sit more uniformly, and slippery yarns like silk, bamboo, and superwash are far less likely to slide off Hard-coat anodized surface — the toughest finish we make, so it stays smooth stitch after stitch and won't corrode or flake Available in cable lengths from 9" to 60" and sizes US 0 to US 11 — choose your combination above. Handmade in our Brockville, Ontario workshop and built to last. Every purchase helps create meaningful employment for people facing barriers to work, so every set of needles knits something bigger.
