The 30cm shaft can accommodate broader rows and larger stitch counts before they become crowded, while still suiting everyday flat projects.
KnitPro Dreamz Deluxe · everyday straight-needle set
Eight colour-coded birchwood pairs with more room for everyday flat knitting
The KnitPro Dreamz Deluxe 30cm Set places eight useful straight-needle sizes from 3.50–8.00mm in a zippered Bordeaux case. Its balanced 12-inch length offers more stitch-holding space than compact 25cm straights while remaining easier to manage than a full 35cm needle—an appealing middle choice for scarves, garment pieces, shawls, panels and seamed accessories.
- 8 matching pairs / 16 needles cover 3.50–8.00mm.
- 30cm / 12in overall length suits a broad range of flat-knit row widths.
- Polished laminated birchwood offers a warm surface with controlled stitch movement.
- Colour-coded sizes and Bordeaux case make selection and storage straightforward.

Why 30cm is an everyday straight-needle choice
Single pointed needles work as a traditional pair: stitches sit on one needle while the other works the row, then the project is turned. At 30cm overall, this set gives more shaft room than the compact 25cm format without the extra reach of 35cm straights.
Five centimetres longer than the compact set provides useful space, yet the needles do not extend as far from the hand as 35cm straights.
A shaped stopper at the back of each needle helps contain the live stitches and completes the colour-coded Dreamz design.
Flat knitting explained
Traditional back-and-forth rows—not circular knitting
Single pointed needles create flat fabric. Scarves and panels can be used directly; garments and shaped accessories are assembled or seamed as the pattern directs. Hats, sleeves, cuffs and mittens require a flat-knit pattern when made with this set.
- Cast the required stitches onto one needle
- Work each row onto the second needle
- Turn the project at the end of every row
- Block, assemble and seam when the pattern requires it
The traditional row sequence
Cast on, work across, turn and return
Cast OnLoad one needle
Work RowTransfer stitches
TurnChange direction
Work BackBuild the next row
For seamless tubes: choose circular needles, double pointed needles or another method specified by the pattern. A direction to “join to work in the round” cannot be completed with a pair of single pointed needles.
Polished birchwood with instant size recognition
Dreamz needles are manufactured from laminated birchwood and finished in radiant, size-specific colours. Their tapered points support accurate entry into loops and patterned stitches, while the wooden surface holds yarn more readily than highly polished metal.
Eight complete 30cm pairs in one organised case

The zippered case provides fitted holders for all eight pairs, keeping the points protected and the size range easy to review.
It stores the longer 30cm needles as a complete collection rather than loose pairs.

Follow the pattern and use a tension swatch to select the correct diameter for the required gauge.
What is not included: yarn, patterns, stitch markers, a tape measure, needle gauge, scissors and finishing needles are not listed as contents of Dreamz Deluxe 200646.
Projects that suit the 30cm format
The usable shaft is shorter than the full 30cm overall length because the point and stopper occupy part of the needle. Choose this length when the cast-on sits comfortably along the shaft; move to 35cm straights or a suitable circular needle when rows become crowded or heavy.
Scarves
Useful room for standard and wider scarves, ribbing, texture, colourwork strips and shaped ends.
Sweater pieces
Can suit fronts, backs and sleeves when each flat section fits comfortably along the working shaft.
Cardigan pieces
Work separate fronts, back sections, bands and sleeves before blocking and assembly.
Flat shawls
Useful for smaller or moderate-width shapes; move to longer needles as increasing stitch counts require.
Seamed hats
Follow a flat-knit design, shape the crown as directed and complete the finishing seam afterward.
Baby blankets
Well matched to panels, strips and narrower blankets; broad rows may need longer needles or a cable.
Home accessories
Suitable for cushion pieces, cloths, panels and decorative rectangles that fit the shaft.
Swatches & samples
Eight sizes make it easy to test gauge, yarn response and stitch patterns before a larger project.
Is the Dreamz Deluxe 30cm Set right for you?
A strong choice if you…
- Prefer traditional straight needles for flat knitting
- Want more working space than a 25cm needle provides
- Do not want the full reach of a 35cm straight
- Regularly use 3.50–8.00mm needle sizes
- Prefer polished wood to highly polished metal
- Make scarves, garment pieces, shawls and seamed projects
Consider another needle if you…
- Want to knit seamless tubes in the round
- Need much more room for broad or high-stitch-count rows
- Prefer project weight to rest on a flexible cable
- Need sizes below 3.50mm or above 8.00mm included
- Work only small projects suited to compact 25cm straights
- Prefer metal, carbon fibre, bamboo or square-profile needles
Should you choose 25cm, 30cm or 35cm straights?
| Feature | 25cm / 10in | 30cm / 12in | 35cm / 14in |
|---|---|---|---|
| Official Deluxe article | 200645 | 200646 | 200647 |
| Best reason to choose | Most compact handling and storage | Balanced everyday length and useful working space | Most shaft room for wider rows |
| Typical project scale | Smaller flat pieces and modest stitch counts | Scarves, garments, panels and moderate flat rows | Wider scarves, shawls, panels and blanket sections |
| Feel while knitting | Least needle extending beyond the hand | Middle reach with added capacity | Longest reach and greatest straight-shaft capacity |
| Storage | Smallest case footprint | Medium case footprint | Longest case footprint |
| Main limitation | Crowds sooner as stitch count grows | Very broad or heavy rows may still need more room | Requires more clear space around the knitter |
30cm is the middle choice: compare the Dreamz 25cm Set for compact handling or the Dreamz 35cm Set for greater shaft capacity. A circular needle used back and forth can be better for very wide or weighty fabric.
How to choose and use the pair
Read the pattern
Confirm that the project is worked flat and note the suggested needle size, yarn, stitch count and required gauge.
Match the pair
Select two needles of the same marked size and colour, then check that both points and shafts are smooth.
Knit a swatch
Measure the prepared swatch as directed and change needle size when your stitches or rows do not match gauge.
Check the cast-on
Spread stitches across the shaft. If they bunch tightly or press against the stopper, choose a longer needle.
Capacity is project-specific: the number of stitches that fits changes with diameter, yarn thickness and stitch structure. Do not force a row onto a needle that is too short.

KnitPro Dreamz Deluxe 30cm Set FAQs
What is the KnitPro article number?
The Dreamz Deluxe 30cm Single Pointed Needle Set is article 200646. Its GTIN is 8907628073084.
How many needles are included?
The case contains eight matching pairs, which is 16 individual single pointed needles in total.
Which metric sizes are included?
The eight pairs are 3.50, 4.00, 4.50, 5.00, 5.50, 6.00, 7.00 and 8.00mm.
Are 3.00mm, 3.25mm or 6.50mm included?
No. Article 200646 does not include 3.00, 3.25, 3.75, 6.50, 9.00 or 10.00mm. Purchase the exact required size separately or choose another set.
Are these wooden knitting needles?
Yes. Dreamz needles are manufactured from polished laminated birchwood in radiant, size-specific colours.
What does single pointed mean?
Each straight needle has one working point and a stopper at the opposite end. The pair works back and forth to create flat fabric.
Can I knit in the round with this set?
No. A pair of single pointed needles cannot join a row into a seamless tube. Use suitable circular needles or double pointed needles for in-the-round construction.
Can I knit sweaters and cardigans?
Yes, when the pattern is constructed in flat pieces and the required stitch count fits the needle. Work the fronts, back or sleeves separately, then block and assemble as directed.
Can I knit hats, sleeves or mittens?
Yes, with a flat-knit pattern. Work the shaped piece back and forth and complete the stated seam. Seamless versions require another needle type.
Is 30cm the usable stitch-holding length?
No. 30cm is the overall length of each needle. The tapered point and shaped stopper occupy part of that measurement, so the straight working shaft is shorter.
How many stitches fit on a 30cm needle?
There is no fixed number. Capacity depends on needle diameter, yarn thickness and stitch structure. Stitches should sit comfortably without being compressed or forced against the stopper.
Can I knit blankets with this set?
You can knit squares, strips, panels and narrower blankets. Broad or heavy rows may be easier on 35cm straights or a suitable circular needle used back and forth.
Why choose 30cm instead of 25cm?
The 30cm needle offers more shaft space for wider rows and larger stitch counts while remaining five centimetres shorter than the 35cm option.
Why choose 30cm instead of 35cm?
Choose 30cm when you want a useful everyday capacity but prefer less needle extending beyond the hand. Choose 35cm when maximum straight-shaft room matters more.
How should I care for the birchwood needles?
Store them in the case, keep them away from moisture, direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, and wipe them with a soft dry cloth after use. Do not bend the needles or use them for anything other than knitting.
Give everyday flat knitting more room
With eight colour-coded birchwood pairs, a useful 30cm reach and a fitted Bordeaux case, Dreamz Deluxe 200646 is ready for scarves, garment pieces, shawls, panels and many projects worked one row at a time.
