Knitter's Pride Cubics Interchangeable Circular Needle Tips
Knitter's Pride Cubics Interchangeable Circular Needle Tips have a cuboid shape in the body of the needle that gradually gives way to perfectly tapered birch wood points. The ergonomic shape is comfortable to hold, lessens the need to grip tightly, and yields uniform stitch formation. The densified, laminated wood is rich in appearance, yet it is also lightweight, strong, flexible, and warm to the touch. Needle size is measured diagonally and fits into standard needle sizer just like round needles. These 4.5" tips are a great addition to one of the other Knitter's Pride Interchangeable Circular Needle sets, or just pair with a Knitter's Pride cable set and start knitting. It's best to tighten your needles by holding the base. Click here to see how it's done.
WEBS cannot verify or guarantee that any other company’s needles or cords will work with Knitter’s Pride needles. But if you’ve purchased a Knitter’s Pride product from us, we guarantee the product 100% with our no-questions-asked replacement policy.

Please carry short interchangeable needles for use with 16" cord Arthritic hands can use them when other needles hurt. Even 90 Yr old's can still knit by using them .These are the best interchangeable sets I have ever used -= they stay put and the cubics are the best for wool and other yarns I knit items for charity and our goup of 17 have donated 800 + items so far this year - We know what works and this is it!

I have several sizes of Cubics and love them EXCEPT that two of my smallest sizes - the 4.0 and 4.5 mm - needles have snapped off. The 4.0 mm snapped off when I tightened it while the 4.5 mm snapped while I was actually knitting. Suddenly I was holding the wooden part of the needle. It had separated from the metal part. It seems to me that the join is not well glued and weak.
I am curious to know if others have found the same problem.

Comments about Knitter's Pride Cubics Interchangeable Circular Needle Tips:
Used the points with corresponding 32" cables on shawl projects with Mtosh Pashmina. The Rose Cubics are wonderful! The stitches work well--but none of the slipping off the needle at the end of a row which can make you insane! I did not adjust the needle size as some suggest--I see no significant difference between this #7 and a round #7...they are simply Wonderful!
Service and delivery comments:
Of course it was wonderful service--this is WEBS!

Comments about Knitter's Pride Cubics Interchangeable Circular Needle Tips:
Except for making sure that you don't sit on the needle because it breaks easy this is a great product. No snags while knitting, my stitches are a lot more even and my hands don't hurt so much anymore, I can knit longer.

Comments about Knitter's Pride Cubics Interchangeable Circular Needle Tips:
I've always had problems with even tension and it shows up especially in lace projects. The cubics have really gone a long way towards eliminating that. As others have said, going up a needle size over regular needles has given me the same stitch per inch count.
Although I've got quite a few regular circular needles, I plan on adding cubics as I can to replace them.
I have arthritis in both hands, and the cubics do seem to eliminate much of the pain from knitting.
Comments about Knitter's Pride Cubics Interchangeable Circular Needle Tips:
The delivery of product was very quick. They were a great help in answering questions. I really liked the shape of these needles. I have some problems with my hands and these made knitting much easier. I tried them out with a hat and was very pleased.

Comments about Knitter's Pride Cubics Interchangeable Circular Needle Tips:
I like the shape of the Cubics, but they don't stand up to other interchangeable needles. I purchased several sizes and now have a collection of broken pieces. They snapped at the base with normal use. And one has a rough spot that catches the yarn. No amount of sanding could remove the burr.
Did not have these problems with Dreamz or the metal variety.
Too bad. They are easier to grip.
Pros
- Arthritis Supple Cables
- Smooth joins

Best Uses
Comments about Knitter's Pride Cubics Interchangeable Circular Needle Tips:
I like the cubics and interchangeable cables a lot. Except for the 16" cable which I found
hard to knit with. And my size 6 broke as I was attaching it to the cable. The replacement also
broke. Other than that I was pleased with the size 8 cubic and longer cable. I use circulars
for most of my knitting but the 16" cable needs
to be improved.
Pros
- Comfortable
- Easy to knit with

Comments about Knitter's Pride Cubics Interchangeable Circular Needle Tips:
These needles are great! Smooth and just slick enough, but not too slick. The square shape is more comfortable than I could have imagined! I have arthritis, and these feel wonderful. Most wood needles I have tried were too grabby for me, and I had settled on nickel plated as my favorite type. But I may have to change my mind!
