Carbon-reinforced construction
High-performance synthetic material is reinforced with carbon fibres to give the slender 2.5mm tips dependable stability without making them heavy or rigid in the hand.
Prym Ergonomics Carbon Technology
Fine 2.5mm precision without the cold metal feel
Designed for lace, lightweight garments and other fine knitting, this fixed Prym circular needle pairs carbon-reinforced strength with a flexible, lightweight feel. Drop-shaped tips help guide the yarn, while the coated steel cable lets stitches travel smoothly without the usual spiralling frustration.
- 2.5mm carbon-reinforced tips balance stability, flexibility and very little weight.
- Drop-shaped points help pick up and guide fine yarn while keeping stitches more secure.
- Fine coated steel cable is designed to stay flexible without spiralling.
- Choose 60cm or 80cm to suit the project and knitting method.

Prym Ergonomics range
Precision you can feel, control you can see
Drop-shaped tips
The rounded drop profile helps guide yarn into the stitch and makes it less likely that loops will slip away from the tip unexpectedly.
Smooth, quiet knitting
The matte black tips feel quieter than metal needles while the smooth round shaft allows fine stitches to move steadily towards the cable. It is part of Prym's award-winning Ergonomics needle family.
Small details, smoother rhythm
Made to help fine yarn behave
Fine-gauge knitting asks a lot of a needle. Prym combines an easy to read white size marking, controlled tip shape and a smooth transition to the cable so you can focus on your stitches rather than fighting the tool.
Visible 2.5mm marking
White print stands out clearly against the matte black tip.
Round fine-gauge shaft
The 2.5mm shaft stays round for even stitch formation and smooth travel.
Secure yarn guidance
The drop-shaped tip supports easier pickup without feeling aggressively sharp.
Choose 60cm or 80cm
Both variants use the same 2.5mm carbon-reinforced tips. The listed length is the complete tip-to-tip length of the fixed circular needle.
A compact choice for narrower flat pieces and suitable smaller circumferences where the pattern calls for a 60cm circular needle.
Gives more room for shawls, garment sections, wider flat pieces and circular methods that benefit from a longer flexible cable.
Choose from the live Length options above. Availability can change, so the product selector is the final guide to the lengths currently ready to order.
The cable matters too
Fine steel strength, flexible violet coating
The tips are joined by a fine steel cord with a high-quality dark violet coating. Prym designed the cable to resist spiralling, helping the work sit more naturally whether you knit flat or in the round.
Fixed connection
No parts to tighten or change
Smooth transition
Stitches travel from tip to cable
Non-spiralling design
Less cable memory and twisting
Quiet handling
A calm alternative to clicking metal
Ideal for fine, lightweight knitting
Lacework
Fine tips and clear stitch visibility support detailed motifs and openwork.
Shawls
The flexible cable accommodates growing rows without loading a straight needle.
Fine pullovers
Useful when a pattern calls for 2.5mm circular needles for lightweight fabric.
Socks and small pieces
The 80cm option can suit long-cable circular methods when your pattern recommends them.
Check three things before ordering
This listing is 2.5mm only. Check the size specified by your pattern and make a tension swatch when measurements matter.
Select 60cm or 80cm based on the project width, circumference and knitting method stated in your pattern.
This is a complete fixed circular needle, not an interchangeable tip and cable system.

Prym carbon circular needle FAQs
Is this an interchangeable knitting needle?
No. This is one complete fixed circular needle with two 2.5mm tips permanently connected to the selected cable length.
Is the needle made entirely from carbon fibre?
The tips use high-performance synthetic material reinforced with carbon fibres. The cable has a fine steel core with a dark violet synthetic coating.
Are the tips sharply pointed?
Prym uses a distinctive drop-shaped point. It is designed to guide yarn and hold stitches securely rather than feeling like a long, sharply tapered lace point.
Can I knit flat with a circular needle?
Yes. Work back and forth exactly as you would with straight needles, turning the piece at the end of each row. The cable carries the weight of the growing project.
Which length should I choose?
Follow your pattern first. The 60cm option is more compact, while 80cm gives growing rows more room and may suit long-cable circular methods.
Are these suitable for beginners?
Yes, provided the project calls for 2.5mm needles. The drop-shaped tips help guide yarn and discourage stitches from slipping off too quickly.
