40-Piece Interchangeable Knitting Set Review

When someone asks you for knitting needle recommendations, do you tell them to use a certain size, or a certain brand? Have you ever thought to recommend interchangeables? Many sets, much like the Simplicity Boye Needlemaster, come in a set with different cords and lengths that can be swapped to give you plenty of needle sizes in one handy spot.


The Interchangeable Needle System provides you with 8 sets of aluminum single-point knitting needles, cable cords in 20-inch, 24-inch, 29-inch and 36-inch, along with a travel case that includes 4 stitch holders (button) and 2 cable couplers. You'll love that you can knit with circular needles, straight flexible needles, and you can even elongate the cables with the couplers. 


To make a longer cable when knitting, all you need to do is join two cables by screwing one metal connector end from each cable into a cable coupler. Then you tighten the cables into the coupler using the point gripper and key. This set truly provides an infinite number of possibilities for any knitting pattern you want to work up.


Having a set like this comes in handy since you can keep organized. The cords don't get tangled and all the needles are packaged in their individual needle holder. You're sure to have every size needle and cord you could possibly need, so you won't have to go to the store mid-project for a different size. When a pattern calls for you to change needle sizes, you just have to switch the tips and keep going; it's that simple.


Instead of investing in multiple sizes and types of knitting needles, check out the Needlemaster Interchangeable Needle System from Simplicity.
