Options Interchangeable Needle Cable - Stainless Steel 16" (for Short IC Tips)
Specifically used with our Interchangeable Circular Short Tips, the smooth cable join lets your stitches slide around your knitting needles with no snags while the long threaded join ensures that your cables and knitting needle tips stay securely in place.
Our signature green cables are now stronger than ever with a sturdy, nylon-coated steel cord! They've got the perfect amount of flexibility to avoid twists and tangles, and just like with our other cables, the smooth cable join lets your stitches slide around your knitting needles with no snags while the long threaded join ensures that your cables and knitting needle tips stay securely in place.
Simply unscrew the needle tips and screw on the cable caps to keep your knitting safe when your needle tips are required elsewhere. Lace knitters will love that they can tie a piece of scrap yarn through the tiny hole in the cable end (used for the tightening key) and thread a lifeline through their lacework at regular intervals while they are knitting.
Interchangeable short needle tips are available in sizes US 4 (3.50mm) through US 10 (6.00mm).
Includes one 16" cable, 2 end caps, and one cable key.
Please Note: The sizing of the Knit Picks interchangeable cables refers to the total length achieved when the needle tips are attached to the cables. While all of the Knit Picks Options Needles* will fit these cables, we strongly recommend not using the longer tips on these cables. The circumference will not measure 16", and your needles could bend or break. Learn more here: Interchangeable Knitting Needles Guide
*These cables are not compatible with the Reflections Options Interchangeable Lace / Sock Needle Tips Set.
