Can you ever have too many duplicate sets of needles? Not only do needles have a habit of disappearing, but they also like to stay in unfinished projects. For working on several projects at a time, and the freedom of beginning something new on a whim, the answer is having plenty of available knitting and crochet needles!

For the most discriminating knitter, rosewood knitting needles are what dreams are made of.

Made from the highest quality rosewood, these needles are as beautiful as they are functional. They have a silky smooth finish with a slight give that is gentle to your hands. Rosewood needles will be among the most pleasurable you've ever tried. Find them available in double points, straights, and circulars.

Most knitters prefer the Skacel Addi Turbo because of its incredibly smooth metal finish. Turbos are fast, quiet, can't rust and have soft, snag free cords. With these needles in your hands, consistently beautiful stitches will fly from your fingertips.

The Skacel Addi knitting needles have long been regarded as the "best needles ever" and we're sure you'll agree. These premium circular knitting needles come in sizes ranging from 16", for making seamless sleeves, bags and hats, to 47” for afghans and those delightful Moebius scarves you always wanted to try.

Circular knitting needles work just like straight needles with the same technique, but the benefits are better weight distribution of the knitted item (which reduces the tension on your wrists) and the added joy of never searching for that missing straight needle down the side of the sofa.

Find the best at Yarn Fifth Avenue!

Yarn Fifth Avenue is proud to introduce Lantern Moon "Destiny" circular needles. Lantern Moon knitting needles are the finest and the fastest wooden needles anywhere in the world. They are handcrafted using the same "liquid silk" finish as our now famous rosewood and ebony straight needles.The brass connection is machined, honed and polished together with the needle to create a virtually seamless connection. Yarn slides effortlessly back and forth between needle and cord. Nylon connection cord uncoils easily, stays relaxed and is tinted for visibility. Needles swivel at connection to avoid kinks.

Grab a pair of bamboo knitting needles for a TRULY surprising treat. When knitting with silk, nylon blend, or any "slippery" fiber, bamboo is definitely your needle of choice. The slightly fibrous surface holds the stitches on the needle much easier and are less likely to slip off. This is good for beginners, and advanced knitters working on complex patterns. Also the preferred choice of most sock knitters, bamboo knitting needles are lightweight, smooth, warm to the touch, glide effortlessly through your knitting, and are easy on the hands!

Bamboo knitting needles are also very quiet, so when you are in a public place they don't attract any unnecessary attention while you are knitting, unlike metal needles that make a clicking sound. Bamboo needles come in straights, double points, and circular.

Checkout our lovely hardwood crochet hooks and be impressed by how lovely they are. Soft to the touch and kind to your hands, these crochet hooks allow you to crochet much longer with greater comfort.

For fine work, such as knitted and crocheted lace and doilies, we carry tiny needles in Skacel Addi Turbo, bamboo and rosewood.

Skacel Addi Circular Lace Needles are smooth sealed brass circular needles, made with the fabulous Addi join. The tips have sharper points to help pick up those tiny yarns and manipulate them for lace work. The brass is coated with a fine resin to help hang onto slippery yarn and provides a quieted click-click of the needles. Try using them for your next Koigu sweater in the round!
