Needle for Circular Knitting machine

Circular knitting machine needles

Circular knitting needles are knitting needles, held together by a flexible nylon or plastic cord. And their name already implies their use, – knitting in the round.

Since circular needles allow the weight of your work to rest in your lap (rather than on the needles), they put less strain on your hands, wrists, and shoulders. This is especially helpful when you’re working on heavyweight garments like sweaters, vests, and chunky-style cardigans.
