Prym prym.ergonomics double-pointed knitting needles, 20 cm

Prym prym.ergonomics double-pointed needles – DPNs for socks and gloves

The Prym prym.ergonomics double-pointed needles come as a set of 5 needles, each 20 cm long. You can use them to knit socks, stockings, sleeves or gloves in the round. The needles are made of high-performance plastic and are light, pleasantly flexible and very quiet to knit with. Choose your needle size from the options.

Why the shape matters

The drop-shaped tips pick up the yarn more easily and guide it more securely, and the yarn is less likely to slip off the tip. The shaft changes from a round to a triangular shape. According to the manufacturer, this lets the stitches glide freely along the needle, so you don't have to keep pushing them along. The needle size is clearly marked on the needle, so you can identify it straight away even when you have several sets.

Working with the set

Cast on your stitches and divide them between four needles. The fifth needle is the working needle: use it to knit the stitches from the first needle, and the needle that has become free then becomes the working needle. Where one needle meets the next, pull the yarn firmly and evenly so that no gaps or ladders appear in your knitting. The needle size that suits your yarn is given on the ball band or in your pattern.
