Prym Ergonomics YOGA | Flexible cable knitting tools
Bend it, shape it and keep your cable stitches under control
Prym YOGA rethinks the ordinary rigid cable-stitch needle. A flexible shaft with a sturdy wire core can be shaped by hand and holds that shape, helping you position held stitches exactly where your pattern needs them.
- Choose 4mm or 7mm to suit the stitches you need to hold.
- Freely bendable wire core holds a hook, U, bridge, wave or other useful shape.
- Soft matt shaft gives resting stitches a secure surface.
- Smooth drop-shaped ends make it easy to pick up stitches and yarn.

A cable needle that adapts to the way you knit
Shape it to the task
Bend the shaft into a hook, U, triangle, bridge or wave, then reshape it for the next technique.
Keep stitches where you put them
The matt synthetic surface offers grip while the shaped shaft helps keep held stitches positioned.
Pick stitches up smoothly
The smooth drop-shaped ends help you collect stitches, hold them and return them to the working needle.
Flexible through the shaft, smooth at the working ends
A name that can be confusing
This is a cable-stitch needle, not a circular-needle cable
In this product name, cable refers to knitted cable patterns. YOGA is the temporary holding tool used when crossing groups of stitches.
- No interchangeable needle tips attach to it
- No connector, key or separate cord is required
- Use it alongside your normal knitting needles
- Follow the pattern direction for holding stitches at the front or back
What does it replace?
It performs the job of a traditional rigid cable needle or auxiliary knitting needle, but its flexible shaft can be shaped around the stitches or your hand.
Useful beyond cables: Prym also identifies it for temporary stitch holding, marking a position and helping recover dropped stitches.
Use YOGA wherever the pattern calls for a cable needle
Slip
Transfer the number of stitches stated by the pattern onto the YOGA needle without knitting them.
Position
Move the held stitches to the front or back as directed. Shape the shaft if it helps keep them secure.
Work
Knit the next group of stitches from the main needle according to the cable instruction.
Return
Work the held stitches from YOGA or return them to the main needle, following your pattern.
Pattern directions vary: the number of stitches, crossing direction and sequence come from your knitting pattern. YOGA gives you a flexible way to hold the stitches while you make that crossing.
One flexible tool, several practical uses
Cable crossings
Temporarily hold a group of stitches at the front or back of the work.
Auxiliary needle
Keep a small group of live stitches safe while completing a technique.
Stitch holder or marker
Shape the shaft around stitches or a location you need to keep track of.
Dropped-stitch help
Use a smooth end to help work a dropped stitch back through the rows above it.
Easy to keep close: Prym notes that the flexible needle can be placed around the wrist when not in use. Shape it comfortably and remove it before it catches on yarn or clothing.
Match the tool to the size of the stitches being held
Choose 4mm if...
- You are working with finer or medium-sized stitches
- You prefer a slimmer holding tool
- A 20cm length suits the cable section
- You would use the two included needles across projects
Choose 7mm if...
- You are holding larger stitches or thicker yarn
- You want a more substantial auxiliary needle
- The longer 25cm format suits your work
- You need the single larger YOGA needle
Yarn labels are only a guide: choose a diameter that sits comfortably inside the actual stitch loops without stretching them. Your pattern and knitting tension remain the best guide.

Prym YOGA cable-stitch needle FAQs
Does the pack contain both 4mm and 7mm?
No. Select one option. The 4mm variant contains two 20cm needles; the 7mm variant contains one 25cm needle.
Why are the pack quantities different?
That is how Prym supplies the two sizes: two pieces in 4mm and one piece in 7mm. Check your selected option before adding it to the cart.
Is this a cable for interchangeable circular needles?
No. It is an auxiliary needle used to hold stitches while knitting cable patterns. It does not connect to interchangeable needle tips.
Will the shaft stay in the shape I make?
Yes. Its sturdy internal wire core is designed to hold the shape you form, and it can be reshaped by hand for another task.
Can I wear it around my wrist?
Prym describes YOGA as flexible enough to place around the wrist when it is not in use. Keep the fit loose and make sure it cannot snag your work or clothing.
Can it help with a dropped stitch?
Yes. A smooth drop-shaped end can be used to help collect a dropped loop and work it back up. The exact repair method depends on the stitch pattern.
Which diameter should I choose?
Use 4mm for smaller stitch loops and 7mm for larger loops, then consider your pattern, yarn and tension. The tool should enter the held stitches comfortably without stretching them.
Choose 4mm or 7mm and put YOGA to work.
Select the pack format that suits your stitches, then shape the flexible shaft to keep cable crossings and temporary holding under control.
