A little something extra – here is a three-part video series I did for Knitter’s Pride, called “Find Your Needle”. Knitter’s Pride has so many different kinds of needles to choose from, hopefully this will help you make a good choice, and love your knitting even more!
Very informative videos, makes me wish I could own them all! I love your new studio.
Thank you so much for such detailed videos, Staci!
Love the new studio too!
I learned to knit as a child with steel needles. I am continental advanced and loose knitter. Interestingly, I do not like any other material (I tried them all) but metal as for my knitting needles.
Exception is carbon – have not tried them yet.
Sometimes after too long of a knitting session, my needles get sticky.
Staci, what would you recommend to clean the metal needles with?
Thank you
Thank you for these videos!
I have tested many different types of needles, including the ones I inherited from my Gramma.
I recently tried a pair of Rainbow wood needles and they were great to use.
The best pair, by far, has been my Knitter’s Pride Dreamz Interchangeable Circular set. I absolutely love them! They are just the right type for my type of knitting!
Keep up the great work!!
Iryna – regarding cleaning needles…you can’t hurt metal needles by cleaning them with soap and water. I usually just use the cloth that I use to clean my glasses to give them a wipe-down and make them sparkle.

Thank you, Staci – you just confirmed my cleaning routine! I do the same – water and soap.
Ooh, I´m so glad I found your blog!
Have a nice autumn 🙂
This may be too much to ask. After watching the videos, it is clear as to what I want. Do they make cuboid carbon needles with steel/brass tips? You never know unless you ask.
Julie – Knitter’s Pride doesn’t have (at least not yet) Cubics needles in the Karbonz material. Cubics are available in the plated brass and wood.

Great video! I had not heard of these needles and will want to try the cubix design as I tend to have problems with my little finger cramping after long periods or several days of knitting (I knit continental). I too love the new studio and am a loyal follower!

These videos made me want to become a knitter’s pride customer; esp. the sampler needles sets. As soon as I can find them in my area the likely I’ll not be able to resist to buy them.
The video is fantastic. Thank you so much. I learned about your site through the Webs Holiday Catalog.
