Knitting Needles
Knitting needles are long, slender tools used to create fabric from yarn through a technique called knitting. They come in various lengths and thicknesses, which affect the size of the stitches and the finished project. Typically, knitting needles are made from materials such as wood, metal, or plastic. There are two main types: straight needles, used in pairs for flat pieces, and circular needles, which have a flexible cable connecting two needle tips, ideal for larger or round projects. The choice of needle type and size can influence the texture and drape of the knitted item.

Knitting needles are long, slender tools used to create knitted fabrics by interlocking loops of yarn. They come in various materials such as metal, wood, or plastic, and in different sizes, which determine the thickness of the stitches. Each needle has a pointed end for guiding the yarn and a blunt end (or a hook in the case of some types) for holding stitches. Knitting can be done with one or two needles, and is a popular craft for making items like sweaters, scarves, and blankets. Their design and size influence the knitting process and the final texture of the fabric.
