16" Single Point Knitting Needles, Aluminum

Aluminum really does make a difference—the stitches slide off so smoothly that I'm cruising through my scarf project way faster than with my old wood needles. The 16-inch length is perfect for hats and sleeves without getting cramped.

I was nervous about switching from bamboo, but the lightweight aluminum makes knitting for hours much easier on my wrists. The stitches slide smoothly along the non-porous shaft without any catching.

The aluminum surface really lets my yarn slide freely without snagging, which makes long rows much faster. I’ve already finished a scarf using these 16-inchers and they feel sturdy in my hands.
