Traditional straight needles in KnitPro's new rainbow wood
Warm birchwood control for relaxed flat knitting
Knit scarves, garment panels, shawls, blankets and other flat projects with a matching pair of 35cm Symfonie 2 single pointed needles. Choose the diameter your pattern requires and enjoy smooth laminated birchwood, tapered points and lasting laser size markings.
1 matching pair per selected size, meaning two single pointed needles of the same diameter.
35cm / 14in length gives growing flat projects useful room along the needle shafts.
15 size options from 3.00mm to 12.00mm cover a wide range of yarns and gauges.
Rainbow laminated birchwood feels warm in the hands and gives yarn controlled, smooth movement.
This product page has a size selector. It is not a multi-size needle set. Your selection controls the diameter of both 35cm needles supplied.
Example: select 4.00mm / US 6
You receive two single pointed knitting needles, each 35cm long and 4.00mm in diameter. You do not receive several sizes, a storage case or circular-needle cables.
One needle holds the live stitches while the other works the next row. Turn the work at the end of every row to create flat fabric.

Symfonie, reimagined
What makes Symfonie 2 different?
Symfonie 2 is KnitPro's new generation of its well-known laminated birchwood collection. These straight needles retain the warm wood feel, polished surface and controlled yarn movement of Symfonie, while introducing a new seven-colour chevron design and precision laser size markings.
Seven-colour chevron
Green, yellow, orange, red, pink, purple and blue layers create the distinctive Symfonie 2 rainbow pattern.
Laser size marking
Clear, lasting diameter identification helps you return the right pair to your project or needle storage.
Polished laminated wood
The carefully layered birchwood is designed for strength, warmth and smooth stitch movement with more control than slick metal.
Straight-needle accuracy: cable, swivel and invisible-join upgrades belong to Symfonie 2 circular products. This pair is rigid and cable-free.

What are single pointed needles?
The familiar choice for knitting back and forth
Single pointed needles are the traditional straight knitting format. Each needle has a tapered working point at one end and a stop at the other to help keep stitches safely on the shaft.
Work across one row, turn the project and knit back in the opposite direction. The result is flat fabric ready to use as it is or join into a garment or other project.
Why choose the 35cm length?
More holding space than shorter straight needles
Useful for medium and wider flat pieces
Traditional hand position with no cable to manage
One-piece rigid construction
Easy to see and count stitches along the row
A versatile length for everyday projects
What can you knit with 35cm straight needles?
Garment panels
Work sweater fronts, backs and suitable sleeve pieces flat before seaming.
Scarves
Keep rows visible and comfortably supported as a scarf grows in length.
Shawls
Knit flat shawl shapes when the pattern and stitch count suit straight needles.
Blanket pieces
Create strips, squares or moderate-width panels to use alone or join together.
Home projects
Make cushion panels, dishcloths and other flat accessories in an appropriate size.
Capacity depends on the project: the 35cm shafts hold more stitches than shorter straight needles, but very wide or heavy projects may be easier on a circular needle because its cable can carry more fabric weight.

Choose for gauge, not only yarn weight: start with your pattern's metric recommendation, knit a useful swatch and change needle diameter if your measured gauge requires it. Yarn-weight labels do not determine one universal needle size.
Is this format right for your project?
A comfortable traditional choice with practical limits
A particularly good choice if you...
Prefer traditional straight needles for flat knitting
Want a warm wooden feel rather than cold metal
Like gentle surface control for your stitches
Need more shaft capacity than shorter straight needles provide
Want one replacement or additional size, not a full set
Enjoy the new Symfonie 2 rainbow design
Consider another format if you...
Need to knit continuously in the round
Want several sizes supplied together in a case
Prefer a flexible cable to hold a very wide or heavy project
Need a shorter needle for compact, highly portable work
Prefer the faster glide of polished metal
Need a diameter below 3.00mm or above 12.00mm
Choose the needle style that matches your project

This product
35cm single pointed pair
Two rigid needles for knitting flat, turning the work at the end of every row. The longer shaft gives growing flat projects useful holding room.
Circular needle
Two shorter tips joined by a flexible cable. It can knit flat or in the round and is often useful when fabric becomes wide or heavy.
Double pointed needles
Several short needles pointed at both ends. They are designed mainly for small-circumference knitting such as socks, mittens and sleeves.
The pattern comes first: check whether it is worked flat or in the round, then match both the needle format and metric diameter to the instructions.
Get the best result from the first rows
Four practical steps before starting
Read the pattern
Confirm the project is worked flat and note the recommended metric needle size and target gauge.
Make a useful swatch
Use the project yarn and stitch pattern, then wash or block the swatch as the finished item will be treated.
Measure gauge
Count stitches and rows over the pattern's stated area. Change needle size if the measurement is off.
Check capacity
Make sure the expected stitch count and fabric bulk will sit safely on the 35cm shafts as the project grows.
Simple care for laminated birchwood
Protect the finish, points and straight shafts
Keep clean and dry
Wipe with a soft dry cloth. Do not soak wooden needles or use harsh household cleaners.
Store the pair safely
Use a straight-needle case or sleeve so the tapered points and laser markings stay protected between projects.
Avoid bending pressure
Keep long straight needles away from heavy items in bags or drawers and stop using a needle that becomes cracked or damaged.

Questions before choosing your size?
KnitPro Symfonie 2 35cm straight needle FAQs
How many needles do I receive?
You receive one pair, meaning two matching single pointed needles, in the size selected on this product page.
Does the pair contain two different sizes?
No. Both needles have the same diameter. For example, selecting 4.00mm supplies two 4.00mm needles.
Is this a multi-size needle set?
No. This listing lets you buy one 35cm pair in your chosen diameter. Multi-size sets are separate products.
Are the needles really 35cm long?
Yes. Each needle has a 35cm / 14in overall length.
What sizes are available?
The current selector covers 3.00mm through 12.00mm in 15 metric sizes. Check the selector for the sizes currently available to order.
What are Symfonie 2 needles made from?
They are crafted from laminated birchwood in KnitPro's seven-colour Symfonie 2 chevron pattern.
How is Symfonie 2 different from the original Symfonie?
It retains the warm laminated birchwood feel, smooth surface and familiar tip style while introducing seven new rainbow colours and precision laser size markings.
Do these straight needles have a swivel cable or invisible join?
No. Those features apply to selected Symfonie 2 circular products. These are two separate rigid single pointed needles with no cable or join.
Are these needles for knitting flat or in the round?
They are designed for flat knitting. Work across the row and turn the project at the end. Choose circular needles or DPNs when your pattern is knitted continuously in the round.
Why choose 35cm rather than a shorter straight needle?
The longer shaft offers more room for live stitches and growing fabric, making it useful for moderate-width flat projects. A shorter pair can feel more compact for small items.
Can I knit a blanket with them?
They suit blanket squares, strips and moderate-width panels. A very wide or heavy one-piece blanket may be easier on a circular needle because the cable carries more of the fabric.
Are wooden needles good for beginners?
Many beginners like wood because it feels warm and offers more stitch control than very slick metal. Needle preference is personal, so choose the material that feels comfortable in your hands.
Which size should I use for my yarn?
Start with the metric size recommended by your pattern or yarn label, then knit and measure a swatch. Change diameter if needed to achieve the required gauge and fabric.
Does the photographed size determine what I receive?
No. The photographs are representative of the Symfonie 2 design. The variant selected in the size menu determines the diameter supplied.
Are a case, yarn or pattern included?
No. The selected item is one matching pair of 35cm needles only. A storage case, yarn, pattern and other accessories are not included.
How should I care for the needles?
Keep them clean and dry, avoid soaking and harsh cleaners, protect the points in storage and prevent heavy objects from bending the long shafts.
