KnitPro Nova Cubics Double Pointed Needles — Structured Comfort, Thoughtful Control
The KnitPro Nova Cubics DPNs bring a fresh twist to classic double pointed needles with their distinctive square (cubic) profile crafted from polished metal. This thoughtful shape gives them a wonderfully controlled, ergonomic feel — helping your hands stay relaxed and your stitches stay put, especially during longer sessions in the round.
Because of their structure, Nova Cubics offer a slightly firmer grip on your yarn compared with standard round metal needles, making them particularly satisfying for knitters who prefer extra confidence with every stitch. The flat planes of the square profile also make it easier to see and pick up stitches cleanly, which is a real boon when working ribbing, lace cuffs, or fine sock heels.
Each set contains 5 double pointed needles, perfect for:
-
socks and mittens
-
cuffs and sleeves
-
crown shaping
-
detailed small-circumference knitting
They have a smooth metallic surface that lets yarn glide comfortably, yet the cubic edges give just enough bite so stitches feel secure without drag. If you enjoy a needle that supports your hands and guides your stitches, Nova Cubics are a wonderful choice.
Why I sell them at McIntosh
I sell Nova Cubics DPNs because they offer structure without stiffness — a balance that many knitters find both energising and reassuring. The square profile doesn’t just look elegant; it genuinely helps with stitch control and hand positioning, which can make circular knitting feel smoother and more intuitive.
I’ve found them especially lovely for knitters who enjoy textured patterns or want that extra sense of control without losing the sleek feel of metal. They’re a favourite when clarity and precision matter — all the while staying comfortable enough for longer projects.
