KnitPro Basix Single Pointed Needles – Solid, Unfussy, Reliable

When you want knitting tools that just get on with the job, without fuss or fan-fare, the Basix singles are your friends. Comfortable in the hand, strong enough for everyday knitting, and designed to keep things simple and smooth.

Why they feel so good

Made from birch wood, these needles are deceptively light while still robust. The polished surface helps the yarn glide, the generous end-caps keep stitches secure and the wood gives a warm, gentle feel — perfect for long sessions.

Whether you’re working simple panels, practicing new stitches or just enjoying the rhythm of making, Basix lets you focus on the yarn, not the tool.

Ideal for which projects

  • Straight pieces: scarves, panels, swatches

  • Everyday garments knit with wool, cotton blends or DK weight yarns

  • Beginners: needles that help you build confidence

  • Makers returning to knitting, who want something reliable, comfortable and affordably excellent

Why I stock them at McIntosh

Because as someone who runs a small wool-business and constantly knits, I know how important it is to have go-to tools you trust. Basix are dependable, gentle on the hands, well-priced and they do exactly what they should. They’re the kind of needle you’ll keep coming back to.

If you want comfort, reliability and a little less fuss, these tick all the boxes.
