Prym ergonomics plastic circular knitting needle, teardrop tip

Prym ergonomics circular knitting needle – flexible, quiet and with a teardrop tip

You can use the prym.ergonomics circular knitting needle from Prym to knit flat in rows or in the round, for example for hats, jumpers, scarves and blankets. The needle is made of high-performance plastic. It is slightly flexible and moves with you as you knit. The material also makes for quiet knitting without any clicking noise.

The tip is teardrop-shaped. According to Prym, this makes it much easier to guide the yarn, and the yarn is less likely to slip off the tip. That makes the needle well suited to beginners too. Choose the needle size and length from the options.

Why the cross-section changes

The needle is round where the stitches are formed, after which the cross-section changes to a triangle. According to Prym, this lets the stitches glide easily over the needle. The fine steel cable is coated in plastic. It is designed not to coil or tangle, so you do not have to spend time smoothing it out first. The needle was awarded the Red Dot Design Award 2016.

Which size and length?

Your pattern specifies the needle size for the yarn. For work in the round, the cable should be shorter than the circumference of the piece, otherwise the work will be stretched on the needle. For large flat pieces such as blankets or shawls, a longer cable is practical because it has room for the many stitches. Choose the needle size and length from the options.
