Knitting Needle Sizes And Why They Matter

by Hannah Gilly

January 18, 2022

Why is needle size important for knitters?

Great question!

And the interesting thing is that I've learned how needles can be measured in more ways than one and that knowing both measurements can be really helpful.

First of all we know that there are instructions on the yarn to pick one size over another, or within a span of a few.

Today I'll show you why that matters and what effects the wrong needles can have on the finished knits. The wrong needles can change the knitted fabric in multiple ways.

As mentioned in the video, the knitting kits prepare all the needle sizes that you need for your knitting project, so you don't have to search for them separately. You can add those needles if you don't have them already, or just buy the yarn and printed pattern.
