FAQs
What is the difference between 'normal' and 'special' needle tips for these cables?
'Normal' tips are standard length and compatible with most KnitPro cables. 'Special' tips are shorter and designed specifically for the 20cm and 30cm cables to achieve very short finished needle lengths (40cm and 50cm).
How do I determine the correct cable length for my project?
The finished needle length is the sum of the two needle tips plus the cable length. KnitPro provides charts indicating the finished length based on cable size and tip type (e.g., a 35cm cable with normal tips creates a 60cm needle).
Can I use these cables with other brands of interchangeable needles?
These cables are designed specifically for KnitPro interchangeable needle tips and crochet hooks. While some connections might appear similar, compatibility is not guaranteed with other brands.
What does 'memory-free' mean for a knitting cable?
Memory-free means the cable will not permanently hold kinks or bends. It will naturally straighten out after being coiled or stored, ensuring a smooth knitting experience.
How do I clean my KnitPro swivel cable?
Wipe the cable with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid submerging it in water or using abrasive cleaners, as this can damage the nylon coating or swivel mechanism.
What is included in the pack?
Each pack typically contains one Black Nylon Coated Stainless Steel 360º Swivel Cable with silver connectors, two end caps, and one cable key.
What is the warranty on these cables?
KnitPro products, including these cables, are guaranteed for one year from the date of purchase against manufacturing defects.
Troubleshooting
Cable feels stiff or retains a bend.
Gently flex the cable back and forth or coil it loosely around your hand for a few minutes. This helps re-establish its memory-free properties.
Needle tips feel loose on the cable.
Use the provided cable key to tighten the connection between the tip and the cable. Ensure the connection is snug but do not overtighten.
Yarn snags on the cable connector.
Check the connection point for any rough edges or debris. Ensure the cable is fully attached to the needle tip.
Cable twists despite the swivel feature.
Ensure the swivel mechanism itself is clean and free of debris. If the issue persists, the swivel may be damaged and require replacement.
Pros and Cons
Pros
Prevents frustrating cable twists and tangles with the 360º swivel feature.
Durable construction ensures a long product lifespan.
Memory-free design eliminates the need to straighten cables.
Secure connection system prevents accidental detachment of needle tips.
Includes essential accessories like end caps and a cable key.
Cons
Requires specific KnitPro interchangeable needle tips (normal vs. special) for certain cable lengths.
Sold individually, meaning multiple purchases are needed for a full set of needles.
The 20cm and 30cm cables are only compatible with KnitPro's special, shorter needle tips.
While durable, the nylon coating could potentially be scratched by sharp objects.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Select the appropriate cable length for your project. Refer to the product information for finished needle lengths based on cable size and tip type.
Attach the cable to your KnitPro interchangeable needle tips or Tunisian/Afghan crochet hooks.
Use the included cable key to gently tighten the connection, ensuring a secure fit.
If using the cable for the first time or after storage, gently flex the cable to ensure it lies smoothly.
Compatibility:
Compatible with all KnitPro Interchangeable Needle Tips.
Compatible with all KnitPro Afghan / Tunisian Crochet Hooks.
Important Note: The 20cm and 30cm cables require KnitPro's special (shorter) interchangeable needle tips to achieve the stated finished needle lengths (40cm and 50cm respectively). Standard/normal tips will result in longer finished needles with these short cables.
Suitable for use with all yarn weights.
Care:
Wipe the cable with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth to clean.
Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
Store the cables flat or loosely coiled to maintain their memory-free quality.
