Knitter's Pride Basix Fixed Circular Needles are both lightweight and strong with a smooth, polished finish and perfect birch wood points. These needles are ideal for knitting with many types of yarn, but the large sizes make them particularly well-suited to today's popular chunky yarns. The flexible cables attach to the needles with a smooth join that ensures easy stitch glide without snagging. The needles are also available in 24", 32" and 40" lengths.
