We know it can be a bit of a hunt to find the right knitting needles that fit your hand best. It's really important to have knitting needles that are comfortable to use - especially when you need to use several of them at once, like when knitting socks.
Lots of materials to choose from
The material you prefer your needles to be made of varies greatly from knitter to knitter. Different types of needles have different advantages and can have a big impact on both the finished result and your knitting experience. It is therefore far from irrelevant which type of knitting needle you choose.
Some of the types of materials that the stocking stuffer sets are made of include:
- Bamboo
- Birch
- Carbon fibre
- Aluminium
- Brass
So you have plenty of options to find the material that's easiest for you to knit with; maybe it's the smooth surface of the bamboo that helps the stitches slide off, or maybe it's the carbon fibre needles that are feathery to hold in your hands.
The different materials also give you the option to focus on the aesthetics of the needles, which is also a relevant consideration. Maybe you like the sleek black look of the carbon fibre sticks, or maybe you prefer the delicate, festive colours of the birch sticks? Whatever you prefer, the choice is entirely yours.
Stocking stuffer sets in all different sizes
But it's not just the materials that vary - the sizes do too. All the hosiery sets come in different sizes. That way, you'll probably always have the right stocking stuffer at home when you stumble across some nice yarn that will make a great pair of socks.
Be aware, however, that the specific sizes may vary from set to set. We would therefore advise you to read the descriptions of the individual sets closely, so that you are sure that the set contains the sizes that you use most.
The length of the sticks also varies from set to set. This way, you also have the option of finding sock sticks in the length that you find most comfortable to work with. You can also read more about the length of the needles in the descriptions under each needle.
Keep track of your sticks with a case
Not only do you get a variety of sizes of sock sticks, but several of these sets also come with a nice and practical case in which you can keep your sticks for the future. This saves you having to spend time looking for your own sock sticks.
The case also makes it easier for you to take your knitting needles with you when you need to be creative outside the home. The cases are easy to carry in your handbag or knitting bag, so you're always ready to start on your next pair of stockings.
