An excellent cable set from Knitpro made of nylon. The cables come in different color combinations and are both resilient and flexible. The transitions from cable to “join” are smooth, with no cracks or bends.
The set includes:
- 1 cable
- 2 end caps
- 1 cable key
All parts are compatible with all types of KnitPro interchangeable knitting needles/crochet hooks in any material!
Use the small cable key to ensure a tight connection between cable and needle. Insert the end of the “key” into the small hole on the screw-in "join" and work it all the way through to form a handle. Tighten the needle tip while keeping a firm grip on the “key”. You can find a video link on this page.
Use the end caps when you need to put your work on hold. The needle tips are exchanged for the stoppers to keep the work safe and secure on the cables. Simply screw the stoppers onto the cable the same way as you would the needles.
NOTE! Please note that the length of the cables includes the needles:
40 cm (15.7”): the cable is 20 cm (7.9”) long without needles
50 cm (19.7”): the cable is 28 cm (11”) long without needles
60 cm (23.6”): the cable is 35 cm (13.8”) long without needles
80 cm (31.5”): the cable is 56 cm (22”) long without needles
100 cm (39.4”): the cable is 76 cm (29.9”) long without needles
120 cm (47.2”): the cable is 94 cm (37”) long without needles
150 cm (59.1”): the cable is 126 cm (49.6”) long without needles

Great cables and you have the choice of colour co-ordinating them, or choosing shades specific to the length of the cable. They can sometimes take a while to get the stiffness out of them and remove the curl, but if necessary, some hot water can help. These were my go-to until the swivel cables were released, but they they're still great. I've not had a single one break despite being used constantly for five years at this point, for my oldest ones.
It's important to note that for anything under 60cm, you need to get SHORT tips, not regular length tips. Otherwise, you won't have the flexibility to use them. This isn't a fault of the product, that's how it's intended to be.

Great cables. Very strong, smooth and flexible. The cable to needle part is smooth so yarn doesn't get stuck (unlike some other brands of interchange knitting needles). Needles stay on well, only have to tighten occasionally (after hours of knitting lol). The screw on end caps are useful if you need to use the needles on a different project but need to keep the current one's cable in place.

I recently purchased this cable (40cm, in black and silver.)
The product is beautiful, first and foremost! The black / silver finish really does make it look very smart!
Although I expected some rigidity (given that it's a new product and we all know what new cable-d products are like!) Slightly stiffer than I had expected. But I'm sure it wont take long to loosen up.
Very easy to attach and disconnect (though arrives with instructions, should they be required.)
If you do have shorter crochet hooks, however, I would recommend ordering a slightly longer cable to meet the requirements for the project.
All in all though, a very nice product!
Thank you, Hobbii

I bought 50 cm cabel and interchangeable needles 6.5 mm for a hat. It was a little hard to knit in circular because the needles are too long for 40 cm,50 cm cabel.
