US 50 Knitting Needles Review

Being mostly a crocheter I find it quite intriguing to learn more about the knitting world. When I see all the different circular needles and attachments it boggles my mind that such beautiful pieces can be made from these tiny plastic contraptions. What makes me smile and sometimes laugh out loud, are the giant knitting needles like the size US 50 needles from Simplicity.


The Boye Knitting Needles sized at 14 inches and 35.5 cm is certainly some kind of amazing. Having to hold such a large needle in your entire hand might take some practice to get used to, but in the end you'll end up loving it. These plastic knitting needles truly are the set of tools you need in your collection.


The style of these needles feature unique perfection points and are designed not to split yarn. You can easily create more intricate stitches and projects like broomstick lace. You can also use them with bulky yarn for a fabulous winter blanket. 


What you'll really enjoy about these large needles is how lightweight they are. You would think with the size they'd be a bit heavy, but because of the material they are easy to work with. Something to keep in mind though, is that it may be easier for you to work with bulky yarn, otherwise the stitches can become too loose and the strands can catch and warp your project. Everything from knit scarves, to hats and again, blankets; you'll love wrapping up in something cozy made with chunky yarn and size US 50 Knitting Needles from Boye.
