These nickel-free brass needles feature an electropolished chrome finish for corrosion resistance and effortless yarn glide. The pad-printed size markings stay readable through repeated use, and the needles come in plastic-free, FSC-certified paper packaging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat makes the KnitPro Nova interchangeable needles different from basic circular needles?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe KnitPro Nova series uses electropolished brass as the core material. Brass provides natural strength and durability, while the chrome plating adds a layer of protection against corrosion and creates a slick, lustrous surface. The needles are nickel-free, making them suitable for knitters with nickel sensitivities. Unlike many circular needles that use aluminum or plastic, the brass construction offers a different weight and feel that many knitters prefer for long sessions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eNeedle size markings that last\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach pair of Nova needles has the size pad-printed in black ink directly on the needle. The ink is formulated to resist wear from yarn friction and hand contact, so you don’t have to guess the size after months of use. The printing remains crisp and smudge-free, eliminating the frustration of faded markings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSmooth finish for effortless knitting\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Nova needles are polished to a smooth, lustrous finish that allows yarn to slide without snags or pulls. This reduces hand fatigue and lets you knit for hours comfortably. The 5-inch needle length gives you more control compared to longer needles, especially when working on small-diameter projects like sleeves or baby items.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eEnvironmentally conscious packaging\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKnitPro packages the Nova needles in recycled paper certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC). The packaging contains no plastic, supporting responsible forestry practices. The paper is sourced from well-managed forests, so you can feel good about the product’s environmental footprint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eKnitPro\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNova\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNeedle Type\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInterchangeable Circular\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNeedle Length\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5 inches (13 cm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUS Size\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMetric Size\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3.5 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrass (nickel-free)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eElectropolished chrome\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColor\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSilver\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMarkings\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePad-printed black ink\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePackaging\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFSC-certified recycled paper, plastic-free\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAvailable Sizes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUS 2.5 to 19 (3 mm to 15 mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I use these needles with any yarn weight?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUS size 4 (3.5 mm) needles are typically used for light DK weight yarns.
