FAQs
What is the primary benefit of this cable?
The primary benefit is its 120cm length, which is ideal for knitting larger projects like sweaters and blankets, offering more room for stitches and a comfortable knitting experience.
Can I use this cable with needles from other brands?
This cable is specifically designed for Pony aluminium and wooden hooks and needles. Compatibility with other brands may vary and might require adapters.
How do I clean the cable?
You can clean the cable by wiping it gently with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or submerging it in water.
Is the cable difficult to store?
The cable is made of soft, flexible nylon. It is best stored loosely coiled to prevent kinks and tangles, making it easy to manage.
What type of projects is the 120cm length best suited for?
The 120cm length is ideal for larger projects such as adult-sized garments (sweaters, cardigans), blankets, shawls, and other items requiring a wide gauge of stitches.
How do I ensure a secure connection between the cable and needles?
Ensure the needle tips are screwed in tightly. Many Pony needle systems have a small hole near the base where a connecting cord or tool can be used to achieve a secure join.
Troubleshooting
Cable feels stiff or kinks easily.
Ensure the cable is not being stored tightly coiled or folded. Lay it flat or loosely loop it for a while to regain flexibility. Avoid extreme temperatures.
Needles feel loose on the cable.
Check the connection point where the needle screws into the cable. Ensure it is fully tightened, using the provided tool or cord if applicable for your needle set.
Knitting feels snagged on the cable join.
Inspect the join between the needle and the cable for any rough edges or imperfections. Gently buff any rough spots with very fine-grit sandpaper if necessary, or try a different cable if the issue persists.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: To attach the cable, ensure your Pony needle tips are securely screwed into the cable ends. Most Pony needles feature a small hole near the base where a connecting cord can be inserted to tighten the join, ensuring a stable connection. Always check that the connection is snug before beginning your project.
Compatibility: This cable is designed for use with all Pony aluminium and wooden hooks and needles that feature the interchangeable system. For other brands, compatibility may vary and adapters might be necessary.
Care: To maintain the cable's flexibility and longevity:
- Cleaning: Wipe gently with a slightly damp cloth if it becomes soiled. Avoid harsh chemicals or soaking.
- Storage: Store the cable loosely coiled to prevent kinks and tangles. Avoid sharp folds or placing heavy objects on top of it.
