I honestly do not know how I ended up with so many of these over the years, because I do not get on well with “shorties”. Despite many failed attempts to knit sleeves and turtlenecks with them, I always end up going back to the magic loop method. But I know other knitters swear by short needles for small-circumference projects – so it’s worth a try – or you may already know you need these.

All of these are either new and unused, or only briefly used – so they range from new to like new. They’re listed at destash prices, which makes this the perfect time to grab one – or a few – at a great discount, in great condition.

The KnitPro Zing 40 cm fixed circular needles are an ideal length for small to medium projects. Made from colour-anodised aluminium, they combine stability, light weight, and those signature vibrant Zing colours. Each needle size has its own colour, so you can spot the right one at a glance. The sleek silver tips are slim and precise for clean, accurate stitches.

With a 40 cm length, these circulars are perfect for cowls, collars, children’s garments, and hats. Smooth cable joins let stitches glide without catching, while the flexible, durable cable is designed to resist kinks and twisting. A handy all-round needle that blends practicality with a modern look.
