Single Pointed Knitting Needle Set

Nowadays, many knitters use circular needles whether they are knitting back and forth or in the round. In fact, many have forgotten the classic jumper needles that were commonplace in our grandmothers' and fathers' knitting baskets. However, we think there's both a great charm and a totally practical benefit to knitting some projects on jumper rods - especially these days when chunky knits are all the rage.

That's why we've got a huge selection of the hottest jumper sets in a variety of materials and styles, so you can expand your knitting kit and find just the right ones for you.

What's the difference between jumper sticks and circular sticks?

If you're a new knitter, it can be difficult to navigate the different types of knitting needles. In general, there are three different types of needles:

• circular needles
• Garter needles
• Jumper sticks

Jumper needles are long, straight needles with a knot at the end to keep the stitches on the needle and prevent them from slipping off. Circular needles are two knitting needles connected by a wire, so you can knit in the round and round without having to sew them together.

When to use jumper rods

Classic knitting needles are a great choice if you need to knit large projects back and forth. It gives you good control over the work and makes it easy to measure the length more accurately.

Jumper needles are a perfect choice if you're knitting chunky - that is, on large needles, because it can quickly become difficult to control on a circular needle. Projects like blankets, heavy sweaters, pot holders and scarves are great to knit on this kind of needle.

If you have problems with your wrists, this type of needle may also be a good choice for you when knitting projects of a certain size. You don't have to put so much effort into pushing the stitches around on the needle and they practically slide themselves.

The benefits of jumper sets

Not only are the pegs comfortable to use and available in a variety of materials, they're also virtually indestructible. As a knitter, many have experienced being stuck with a broken circular needle where the thread has given out. This can happen especially on the heavier projects and it takes a lot of work to pick up the stitches and put them on a new needle.

In one set, you also get all the sizes you need, so you won't be left wanting for a size when you need to cast on for a new project - and there's the deliciousness factor of all the needles fitting together. The sets come in matching cases, so you'll always have them organised and can easily take them on the go.
