High-strength carbon fibre forms the main shaft, creating a slim needle that feels substantial without unnecessary weight.

Two materials, each doing the job it does best
Karbonz is not simply another dark-coloured needle. The carbon-fibre body keeps each 13cm tip notably light and provides controlled stitch movement, while the smooth pointed brass end is shaped for clean entry into loops, decreases, cables and lacework.
The polished metal ends support accurate stitch pickup and a smooth transition onto the carbon-fibre shaft.
Compatible KnitPro cables attach at the metal connector, creating an expandable circular system rather than a fixed configuration.

Exact contents matter: stitch markers, scissors, a needle gauge, tape measure and darning needles are not listed as inclusions with the Karbonz Midi 41631 set.
Four cables across three finished lengths
The cable labels describe the assembled circular needle
KnitPro measures each length from needle point to needle point after the 13cm tips are attached. Two 80cm cables let you keep more than one common project configuration ready, while 60cm and 100cm cover more compact or roomier stitch counts.
- Choose the finished length recommended by the pattern
- Keep the circular shorter than the project circumference when knitting in the round
- Use a cable key for a secure screw-fit connection
- Choose shorter 10cm tips when a 40cm or 50cm circular is required

80cm × 22 cables · 32in
100cm1 cable · 40in
360° swivel connection: the cable can rotate at its fitting as the project moves, helping it follow the work instead of transferring every turn to the screw join.
Well equipped for garments, shawls and detailed everyday knitting
The included 3.00–6.00mm diameters can suit many fine, 4 ply, sport, DK, worsted and aran projects when the pattern, yarn and tension agree. Always swatch and select the diameter that produces the required gauge.
Sweaters & cardigans
The 13cm tips provide a full handhold while the cable carries growing garment stitches.
Shawls & wraps
Move from 60cm to 80cm or 100cm as construction and stitch count require.
Lace knitting
Pointed brass ends support yarn overs, decreases and accurate entry into fine stitches.
Cables & texture
The slim points assist with ribs, crossing stitches and detailed surface patterns.
Scarves
Knit flat by turning at each row and let the flexible cable carry the stitches.
Baby garments
The smaller included diameters suit many lightweight garments when gauge agrees.
Magic loop
Use a suitable 80cm or 100cm flexible cable for small circumferences worked by magic loop.
Growing panels
The second 80cm cable is useful when two flat or circular projects are active at once.

How to assemble and protect the system
Select the size
Begin with the pattern recommendation, knit a tension swatch and change diameter when your gauge requires it.
Choose the cable
Select the finished 60cm, 80cm or 100cm circular length to suit construction and stitch count.
Tighten with the key
Screw in both tips, place a key through each cable fitting and give the tip a firm final hand-tighten.
Store it carefully
Return clean, dry tips to their holder and avoid impacts or bending forces at the brass-to-carbon transition.
Secure, not forced: the key provides enough leverage for a firm connection. Pliers can damage the fitting and are not required.

KnitPro Karbonz Midi FAQs
Is this the Karbonz Midi set?
Yes. KnitPro article 41631 is the Karbonz Midi Normal Interchangeable Needle Set with 13cm / 5in tips.
How many needle tips are included?
The set contains seven matching pairs—14 individual tips in total—in 3.00, 3.50, 4.00, 4.50, 5.00, 5.50 and 6.00mm.
Are 3.25mm and 3.75mm included?
No. Only the seven listed diameters are included. Other compatible KnitPro sizes may be purchased separately, or choose a larger set when you want more increments from the outset.
What are Karbonz tips made from?
The main shaft is carbon fibre, with a pointed brass end for stitch entry and a metal connector where the interchangeable cable attaches.
What cable lengths are included?
There is one 60cm cable, two 80cm cables and one 100cm cable. These measurements describe the approximate finished point-to-point circular length after the 13cm tips are attached.
Why are two 80cm cables included?
80cm is a versatile length for garments, shawls, flat knitting and some magic-loop work. A second cable allows another common setup or project to remain assembled.
Can these tips make a 40cm circular?
No. Two 13cm tips do not leave enough flexible cable for a comfortable 40cm loop. Choose compatible 10cm short tips designed for compact circular lengths.
Can I knit flat with this set?
Yes. Turn the work at the end of every row as you would with straight needles, using the cable to carry the stitches and project weight.
Can I knit socks with the set?
Yes, where an included size suits the pattern, using a method such as magic loop on a suitable 80cm or 100cm cable. The 13cm tips do not create a tiny sock-sized circular by themselves.
What do the eight end caps do?
They close the four included cables after the needle tips are removed, allowing live stitches to remain safely on each cable while the tips are used elsewhere.
What are the cable connectors for?
They join compatible KnitPro cables when extra working length is needed. Tighten both joins with a key and move stitches carefully over the connected section.
Are the tips compatible with other cables?
Use compatible KnitPro standard screw-fit cables. Do not assume mini, petite, another connector family or another brand will fit securely without checking compatibility.
How should I care for Karbonz tips?
Keep them clean and dry, store them in the case and avoid bending, dropping or forcing the joins. Replace a tip or cable if it becomes damaged, rough or loose.
