Focus on the relaxation & rhythm of knitting as stitches glide effortlessly along the polished surface of Nova needles. Crafted from durable brass, the needles have been electroplated with an exceptionally smooth chrome coating for quick, effortless knitting. The attractive needles possess perfectly tapered points that yield beautiful, precise stitch definition. Nova Cubics are a unique cuboid-shaped needle that delivers a comfortable grip. Many knitters find that the shape alleviates fatigue when knitting for long periods of time. Although a different shape than traditional round needles, Cubics are measured diagonally & fit into standard needles sizers. Double point needles are ideal for small circumference knitting such as socks, sleeves, mittens & the last few rows of hats. Each set includes 5 double point needles. Needle size in US & metric measurement is printed on the end of each needle for easy identification.
