I love using circular needles for just about any project. I use them instead of straight single-point needles, to knit in the round in place of double point needles, and to knit in the round using Magic Loop technique. Unfortunately, really good circular needles are pricey.
I’ve found a solution – HiyaHiya circular needles. Why HiyaHiya?
1. The needles are stainless steel with a finish that lets the yarn slide smoothly, but not so slick that the yarn slides off all the time.
2. The cable is very supple. When using the Magic Loop technique, the cable needs to be able to bend easily, and the HiyaHiya cables do just that.
3. The join between cable and needle is very smooth. The yarn moves smoothly from the cable to the needle without catching.
4. The price!! HiyaHiya needles are about 30% less than Addi Turbos.
The Knitting Nest will carry HiyaHiya circular needles with 20 inch and 40 inch cables from size 000 to 13. We are happy to let you try some out (after we open on August 23rd) in the shop. I’m convinced that you’ll find them perfect for your next project!
