How to choose Circular Interchangeable Needles
Choosing Tip length: 5" tips are the most common and great for most projects. The smaller 3.5" tip length is needed for smaller circumference projects - or if you prefer a shorter tip because of your knitting style. To knit 16" projects with shorter cords, you'll need the short tip set. Remember, the actual cord size varies - but what they make is a 16, 20, 24, 32 or 40 inch needles when attached (measuring tip to tip)
Choosing wood vs metal tips: While metal generally knits faster and so sometimes preferred by experts, Wood gives you a warm, nice touch to the skin feel so may be more comfortable, and is also the better choice for beginners. The hand polish on our Zen needles provides for easy slippage with no grabbing.
