Square wooden tips for calm control and cleaner stitch handling
Choose one diameter from 4.00mm to 8.00mm and receive one matching pair of Prym KnitPro Natural Cubics interchangeable needle tips. Their smooth wooden surface and softly squared profile give the yarn more contact with the needle, making them a thoughtful alternative to very slick round tips.
1 matching pair / 2 tips in the selected diameter.
11.6cm tip length for a comfortable full-size handhold.
Square Cubics profile with gently rounded edges.
Natural wood construction with a smooth polished finish.
This product is an individual replacement or expansion pair. It is not a complete needle set and it does not become a circular needle until a compatible cable is attached.
Example: select 5.00mm
You receive two Natural Cubics tips, each 11.6cm long and sized 5.00mm. Attach one tip to each end of a separately purchased compatible Prym Natural cable.
You do not receive six sizes, a cable, cable key, end caps, yarn or a pattern.
1 pair
Two square-profile tips
The selected product option determines both tips supplied in the package.
Cable required: add a compatible Prym Natural interchangeable cable separately if you do not already own one.
Why knit with a square needle?
Four flat faces change the feel without changing the pattern
Cubics tips are square rather than round, with softened edges that remain comfortable to hold. The increased contact between yarn and needle can provide more control, particularly when a slippery yarn moves too freely on a smooth metal tip.
01
More contact
Four faces give the yarn a broader surface to rest against than a round shaft.
02
Controlled movement
The square profile can help slow unwanted slipping while the polished wood still allows stitches to move.
03
Warm wooden feel
Natural wood feels warmer in the hands than metal and remains lightweight for longer sessions.
04
Distinct stitch feel
The geometry may encourage more deliberate handling and consistent stitch formation for some knitters.
Swatching matters: a square needle can feel different from a round needle in the same marked size. Knit a prepared swatch and adjust the diameter if needed to achieve the pattern's required gauge.

Build a circular needle for garments, accessories and broad rows
Sweaters and cardigans
Let the cable carry garment stitches while the full-length tips provide a comfortable handhold.
Hats and cowls
Match the assembled circular length to the project or use a suitably long cable for magic loop.
Shawls and scarves
Turn at each row while the cable supports growing stitch counts and wider fabric.
Blankets and panels
Choose a longer cable to hold broad rows and reduce the weight carried by the hands.
Circular needles also knit flat: work across the row, turn and return exactly as you would with straight needles.
Choose the feel that suits your knitting
Cubics wood, round wood or metal?
This product
Square natural wood
Warm and controlled, with four faces that give the yarn more contact with the shaft.
Round wooden tips
A familiar cylindrical feel with gentle grip, suitable when you want natural wood without the square geometry.
Round metal tips
Usually slicker and faster, useful for knitters who prefer quick stitch movement and a cooler feel.
There is no universally best material or shape: yarn fibre, personal tension and hand comfort all affect the experience.

Frequently asked questions
Prym KnitPro Natural Cubics FAQs
Does one purchase include all six sizes?
No. Select one diameter. You will receive two matching 11.6cm tips in that chosen size.
Is a cable included?
No. A compatible Prym Natural interchangeable cable and its accessories are sold separately.
Are these needles square all the way to the point?
The working shaft has the Cubics square profile with softened edges, while the tip tapers toward the point for stitch entry.
Are they bamboo?
No. This product is described as natural wood. Do not confuse it with Prym's separate bamboo needle ranges.
Will the same marked size knit exactly like my round needles?
The metric size is your starting point, but the square profile can change how the needle feels and how you hold your tension. Always swatch for an important project.
Can these circular tips be used for flat knitting?
Yes. Attach a compatible cable, knit across the row, turn the work and knit back.
Which size should I choose?
Begin with the metric diameter stated in your pattern, make a tension swatch and adjust if necessary to obtain the required gauge and fabric.
