Knit Picks Sunstruck Short Interchangeable Needle Set

The Sunstruck Short Interchangeable Needle Set by Knit Picks is designed for small-circumference knitting. Often called “shorties,” these needles offer the same performance as standard Knit Picks interchangeable needles, with shorter tips for working comfortably on tight circular projects.

Crafted from golden-toned laminated birch, Sunstruck needle tips feature a smooth, lightly burnished surface that provides just the right amount of grip. This makes them especially well suited for slick fibers such as mohair, silk, and angora, while still allowing stitches to flow evenly.

Paired with the included cables, the short tips create 16" circular needles, ideal for hats, sleeves, necklines, and other compact projects. Smooth joins, precisely tapered tips, and flexible black nylon cables ensure reliable performance and comfortable knitting.
