For knitters seeking a smoother, tangle-free experience, the KnitPro Black Nylon Coated Stainless Steel 360º Swivel Cables offer a premium solution. Their primary benefit is the innovative swivel design that prevents cable twists, ensuring uninterrupted workflow. A minor consideration is the need for compatible KnitPro needle tips for full functionality. These cables are crafted from durable stainless steel with a smooth black nylon coating, featuring memory-free properties to maintain shape, secure silver connectors, and included end caps for stitch security.

The stated cable length is the finished length from tip-to-tip when attached to two KnitPro interchangeable needle tips. The actual cable material length will be shorter.
No, these cables are specifically designed for use with KnitPro Interchangeable Needle Tips and KnitPro Afghan / Tunisian Crochet Hooks only.
Wipe the cable with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid using any harsh chemicals or submerging the cable in water, especially around the metal connectors.
Memory-free means the cable is designed to resist kinking and retain its intended shape, straightening out easily after storage without needing to be forced.
The end caps are primarily used to secure stitches when you are not actively knitting, such as during a break or when moving your project. They prevent stitches from accidentally sliding off the needle tips.
Screw the threaded end of the cable into the port on the KnitPro needle tip. Use the included cable key to tighten the connection securely for optimal performance.
KnitPro offers various cable lengths, typically measured from tip-to-tip when attached. Common lengths include 60cm, 80cm, and 120cm, among others. Please check the specific product listing for available sizes.
Check for any debris or lint caught in the swivel mechanism. Gently clean with a dry, soft brush. Ensure the connectors are properly tightened but not overtightened, which can sometimes impede swivel action.
Ensure the cable connectors are securely tightened using the cable key. Periodically check and retighten the connection, especially at the beginning of a knitting session.
While designed to be memory-free, very severe bending can sometimes cause temporary kinks. Try gently uncoiling the cable and laying it flat in a warm (not hot) place for a short period to help it regain its shape. Avoid storing it tightly wound.
Ensure the connection between the needle tip and the cable connector is smooth and flush. Check that no threads from the yarn have caught on the connector. Wipe the connection area clean.
Setup: To set up your KnitPro Swivel Cable, simply screw the threaded end of the cable into the corresponding port on your KnitPro interchangeable needle tip. Ensure a snug fit by using the provided cable key to tighten the connector. Once both tips are attached, the cable is ready for use.
Compatibility: These cables are designed to be compatible with KnitPro Interchangeable Needle Tips and KnitPro Afghan / Tunisian Crochet Hooks. They will not function with other brands of interchangeable needles.
Care: To care for your cable, wipe it gently with a slightly damp cloth if it becomes dirty. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Store the cable loosely coiled to maintain its memory-free properties and prevent any potential damage to the swivel mechanism or connectors. Ensure the connectors are dry after cleaning.
