Tools and Notions

Introducing the Symfonie Cubics Deluxe set, a revolution in comfort and control. Crafted with precision, each needle tip features a unique square shape transitioning to finely tapered birch wood points. Unlike traditional round needles, their unique shape fits naturally into the hand, providing a secure grip that minimizes strain and fatigue.

The flat sides of square needles rest comfortably against the fingers, promoting a relaxed posture and reducing the risk of hand cramps and tension. This ergonomic design is particularly beneficial for individuals with arthritis or repetitive strain injuries, offering a more enjoyable and sustainable knitting experience. With square needles, knitters can focus on their craft with confidence, knowing that every stitch is supported by optimal comfort and precision.

The set comprises seven of the most commonly used needle sizes, along with a selection of accessories to facilitate your creative journey. Included are no-kink cords in various lengths, allowing flexibility in project size and scope. The square grip of the needles provides ergonomic support, making them particularly comfortable for individuals with arthritis and perfect for beginners exploring the craft.

Handcrafted in Vermont by a husband and wife duo Tom & Linda Diak, these needles are a truly special heirloom set. These are quite possibly the sharpest wood needles on the market with a long taper, which means practically no strand splits. For those of you who wish you could have a sharp lace tip on a wooden needle, look no further.

These are an absolute pleasure to knit with, with an incredibly smooth finish and phenomenal completely seamless joins. A neat feature is that the cable rotates inside the little connector so there's not so much tangling and coiling as with other interchangeables. The cables themselves are very high quality coated wire and all the needles are made in the USA from locally sourced materials. The cables also fit all the Dyakcraft Tunisian crochet hooks (which are an absolute dream by the way!) Tom is an award-winning wood turner - all of the wood needles are turned, polished, buffed and finished in his studio in Vermont, while Linda makes all the cords and cases.

The set consists of US 4, 5, 6, 6.5, 7, 8, and 9" interchangeable needle tip pairs and three cables, four end stops, and a fabric case.

Available options are:

• Apple 3.5" tips with 8, 12, 16" cables
• Silvery Charcoal 4" tips with 12, 16, 21" cables
• Lime 5" tips with 17, 21, 29" cables
