This listing is for an individually, handcrafted, solid sterling silver, cable stitch needle assist / shawl pin.

 

I have two sizes and 2 metals - either 1.8mm or 2mm diameter, in sterling (these are fully hallmarked) or 2mm in copper.

In my ongoing knitting adventures, I've learned that sometimes it's necessary to use a cable needle and actually knit from it. I've also learnt that life's too short for me to cable socks :-)

 

Having received requests for cable needles that would have some level of grip, and also double as a decorative item, I came up with these.

 

They measure (on average) 72mm in length, and have a curve approximating 20mm

If you'd like me to adjust one especially for you to have one leg longer than the other, then simply give me instructions when placing your order and I'll do that before posting it.

 

I've pushed the points towards each other, but you'll be able to adjust that if you wish, and I've burred my trademark dots into the bends - this means that the stitches or fabric will move smoothly over the working areas, but won't slip off if you want to push the needle through and drop it whilst knitting. It also makes for an understated look on a garment.

If you like to put your hair into a pleat, it might work there too ;-)

 

All my silver is now bought as certified recycled eco-silver, made from 100% scrap / recycled silver which has been fully refined to ensure it is of the same quality as traditional sterling, but of course without the environmental impact of mining it.

    Lovely piece of luxury to work with

    I have a cable needle in silver that is delightful. It is a beautiful tool to work with and makes me want to work cables a lot lot more.

    Thank you Dawn.
