KnitPro Swivel 360° Inter. Cable for 40cm Needle - 3pcs, Blue

Makes knitting more smooth, not twisting my needles all the time. Very happy with it.

What a difference to the unyielding “fixed” cords.Both types of cords fit the knit pro interchangeable needles/crochet hooks across the range.Although the normal cords of ‘interchangeable’ varying lengths were brilliant in their own right, these are a massive game changerThey still give the luxury of knitting/crocheting in the round, or for use with an attachable single crochet hook without the heavy weight when creating a larger piece of work.They also both give valuable extra length when added to a knitpro interchangeable crochet hook, to use in tunisian/afghan crochet.The luxury of having this swivel cord is the added flexibility it brings to the feel of things in use. No more the uncomfortable stiff cord sitting rather awkwardly on your lap/over your lap, these cords rather allow your work to lay in or over your lap, they bring rather more softer feel so to speak.The bonus I discovered when using in my Tunisian projects is the easier way the hook stays better in my hand.As this wire swivels, there is the lack of that feeling that comes with the other cables, of the hook wanting to turn/being turned by the cord, a sort of dragging sensation, causing a need to have to reposition the hook for comfort. Not really something noticeable as such, until using this swivel type cable the need is no longer needed. It has made a pleasant improvement to the overall flow when creating my pieces.The cable attaches nicely to the hooks or needles with a slightly longer pin, and this pin has a bobble attached which makes it easier to use/grip and less likely to drop. The cables also comes with its own bobble shaped stopper, which is also easier to use/grip. Though the original end stoppers also fit.I can happily recommend this cable as a real improvement on what I felt was already a perfect addition to any crocheters/knitters tool kit. So much so I have already ordered another. When I next start a large crochet or knitting project, I will definitely choose to use one of these cables over the original type, and I guess if it were to be a really large piece, I could easily use this with my original ones attached as the swivel of this would continue the extra added length .Buy one you will not regret your purchaseHappy making 😊

Hooray for the swivel! Circular needles with a difference, and no more unscrewing by accident.

I have started to use circular needles for my flat knitting as they are easier on your hands and wrists. The swivel cables are ideal when you are turning your work.

The length advertised for the cable includes the length of the needles you will attach to it.I ordered a 40cm cable and received a cable that is actually 26cm long. I contacted the Knitpro support team who was quick to reply. Apparently the way the length is advertised is standard in the industry. I think the actual cable length should be clearly called out in the product description to avoid confusion.The cable is a bit short for my project, but the quality is very good and it looks and feels sturdy. I'm using it with a tunisian Trendz crochet. Attaching the cable to the crochet is very straight forward. It has a very seemless joint, it doesn't catch the yarn. I had to tighten the cable to my crochet only once so far working on the same project for a week, so that's a pretty good performance.
