Choose your diameter from 3mm to 8mm and receive one matching pair of 13cm KnitPro Zing interchangeable needle tips. Their lightweight aluminium bodies, tapered silver-coloured points and colour-coded finishes make it easy to add a missing size, replace a favourite pair or expand an existing KnitPro cable system.
Pair of tips - cable sold separately
This is a size-selectable replacement or expansion pair. It is not a complete needle set, and it does not become a circular needle until a compatible KnitPro cable is attached.
You receive two 13cm Zing tips, each measuring 4.00mm in diameter. Screw one tip onto each end of a separately purchased KnitPro cable to create a complete circular needle.
You do not receive twelve sizes, a cable, a tightening key, end caps, yarn or a pattern.
The chosen size controls both tips. The pair shares a colour-coded finish associated with that diameter.
Zing combines a smooth aluminium working surface with an individual colour for each size. It is a practical choice for knitters who like metal glide, clear visual organisation and the freedom to pair one needle size with several cable lengths.
The metal surface lets stitches move readily while keeping the assembled circular lighter than many solid metal alternatives.
Each diameter has its own finish, helping you identify frequently used sizes at a glance before confirming the marking.
The shaped points support accurate stitch entry across everyday knitting, texture, shaping and suitable lace patterns.
Metric size is the most reliable identifier. The approximate US conversions are included for convenience, while the SKU lets the exact variant be confirmed for ordering and support.

KnitPro cable packaging states the approximate finished point-to-point circular length after both compatible tips are attached. The bare cable is shorter than the number on the packet.
Need a 40cm or 50cm circular? Choose the separate Zing 10cm Special tips. Their shorter shafts allow the cable to bend into a compact circle more comfortably.
Shop KnitPro CablesUse suitable lengths for seamless bodies, yokes, cardigans, panels and sleeves as the pattern directs.
Match the finished cable length to the circumference or use a longer cable for a loop method.
Turn at the end of every row while the cable supports the growing stitch count and fabric.
Select a longer cable to hold more stitches and let the project rest closer to your lap.
A full-size handhold for 60cm and longer finished circulars. Available here from 3.00mm to 8.00mm.
Shorter shafts intended for compact 40cm and 50cm finished circulars, as well as knitters who prefer a shorter grip.
A specialised short format used with matching mini cable arrangements for very small circumferences.
Choose the pattern's metric tip diameter and a compatible KnitPro cable in the required finished point-to-point length.
Turn each tip onto a cable end by hand until the threaded connection sits together neatly.
Insert the key supplied with the cable and give each join a firm final hand-tighten. Do not use pliers.
Confirm the joins before casting on and retighten by hand if a connection begins to develop movement.
Use a soft dry or lightly damp cloth, then dry fully before returning the tips to storage.
Remove fibres from the threaded connection and never force a tip that does not begin screwing on smoothly.
Keep matching pairs together in a case and protect the points from drops, deep scratches and pressure.

You receive one matching pair, meaning two individual 13cm tips in the one diameter selected.
No. A compatible KnitPro cable is required and sold separately.
No. This listing is for one pair in one selected size. Multi-size Zing sets are separate products.
It is KnitPro's normal tip length, measured from the needle point to the metal connector. It does not describe the finished circular length or needle diameter.
The current product selector covers twelve sizes from 3.00mm to 8.00mm.
They are made from lightweight aluminium with colour-coded bodies and silver-coloured points and connectors.
The colour system helps distinguish diameters in a mixed collection. Always confirm the size marking or use a needle gauge before starting a project.
KnitPro states that its interchangeable tips are compatible with KnitPro interchangeable cables. Do not assume compatibility with another brand unless that manufacturer confirms it.
Yes, when it uses the compatible KnitPro interchangeable connection. The separately selected cable determines whether the assembled circular has fixed or swivel action.
The 13cm normal tips are not the intended choice for an ordinary compact 40cm circular. Choose the separate 10cm Zing Special tips for 40cm and 50cm finished lengths.
KnitPro states cable size as the approximate finished point-to-point circular length after both compatible tips are attached. The bare cable is therefore shorter than its stated finished length.
Yes. Once attached to a cable, turn the work at the end of every row. The cable holds the stitches and growing project.
Yes, with a sufficiently long and flexible compatible cable. The exact length depends on project size, stitch count and personal technique.
Aluminium generally provides quicker stitch movement than wood, but the result depends on yarn fibre, tension and the knitter. Choose the surface feel that suits your work.
Select by the metric diameter. The colour is associated with that size, but the written size and SKU are the reliable ordering identifiers.
Use the key supplied with the cable to give each join a firm final hand-tighten. Check the connections periodically and never use pliers or excessive force.
Begin with the pattern's metric recommendation, make a useful swatch and adjust the needle diameter if required to achieve gauge and the intended fabric.
Keep them clean and dry, protect the points and finish, store matching pairs together and keep the threaded connections free from fibres and debris.
Select the pattern's metric diameter, pair the 13cm tips with a compatible cable and create a circular needle suited to your next flat or in-the-round project.
