What exactly is included in the Charm 5" set?

This boxed set contains five pairs of 5" (13 cm) interchangeable needles in sizes US 2.5 to US 8 (3mm–5mm). It also supplies two nylon-coated swivel cords (24"/60cm and 32"/80cm), four wooden end caps, two tightening tools, and five colourful tassel stitch markers—neatly stored in an embroidered khadi silk case.

• Five pairs of 5" ebony tips: US 2.5, 4, 5, 6, 8 (3–5mm)
• Two memory-free nylon-coated cords: 24" and 32" lengths
• Four wooden end caps, two tightening wrenches, five tassel markers
• Embroidered khadi silk fabric case for organized storage

How do these needles feel and perform while knitting?

Each needle is shaped from Indian ebony, a dense, fine-textured hardwood with a naturally smooth finish and a distinct dark sheen. The wood offers warmth to the touch, a light flex for comfortable handling, and polished tips that glide yarn while still providing enough bite for control.

• Fine-textured ebony for smooth stitches and consistent gauge
• Polished tips reduce snagging on delicate fibres
• Balanced weight for steady hand-feel during long sessions
• Handcrafted shaping ensures uniform joins with the cord

What makes the cords and connectors special?

The set uses next-generation memory-free nylon-coated stainless cords so they stay flexible and resist kinking. The connectors are 24K gold-plated for corrosion resistance and to provide a precise, snag-free join between cord and tip, improving yarn flow across the connection.

• Memory-free, tangle-resistant nylon coating keeps cords supple
• 24K gold-plated connectors for a smooth, durable join
• Swivel design reduces twist when knitting in the round
• End caps convert tips to straight needles for flat knitting

How should I care for these ebony needles and the silk case?

Keep the needles dry and away from prolonged direct sunlight. Wipe wood gently with a soft cloth after use; avoid harsh cleaners. Store the set in its khadi silk case when not in use to protect finishes and keep small parts together.

• Wipe tips with a soft, dry cloth—no solvents
• Store in the embroidered silk case to prevent dings
• Check connector threads and tighten with included tool as needed
• Avoid humid storage to protect wood integrity
