What This Part Does

On a circular machine the needles sit in the cylinder and dial tricks and are driven by the cam track through their butts. Butt height and position have to match the cam of the machine model, which is why the same gauge can need different needles on different machines.

Circular Knitting Needles Questions

Are cylinder and dial needles the same?

No. They differ in length and often in butt form. Tell us which position you are ordering for.

Does gauge alone identify the needle?

No. Two machines of the same gauge from different builders can take different needles, because the cam track and therefore the butt height differ.
