The Best Knitting Needles for the beginner or advanced knitter

Choosing the right knitting needle set is of top importance when getting tools for your craft. There are many choice to pick from and we wanted to share with you a variety of them that we have been working with.

Consider what material you like best and how much you want to spend to start. Although it may seem like an interchangeable set is expensive, add up what you would be paying to purchase each of the needles individual for a comparison. Don’t forget to include multiples of each size need for different cord lengths.

Knitting Needles for Beginners

After taking a look at all of the needles we suggest that you start with one of the Knitter’s Pride Knitting Needles for your first set of interchangeable. They are a reasonable price point and you will be happy with their quality.

Knitters Pride has a great company and reputation and you can find them at most of your local yarn shops as well. Try out your favorites and play around with the material you like the best.

Things to Consider

Before you purchase you first set think about what you want from your needles. Think about the material that you like best-plastic, wood, or metal. Do you want a sharp or blunt tip to your needle. Depending if you do a lot of lace work your answer might be different.

What else is important to you? Do you want a small tip set so that you can travel with it easier? Be sure to think about the size of your hand that you don’t get needle tips that are too short and cause discomfort while knitting.
