Milward Double Point Knitting Needles – Set of Five (20cm | 5.5mm)

Step up your knitting game with the Milward Double Point Knitting Needles (DPNs). This premium set of five needles is the perfect choice for projects using Aran, Heavy Worsted, or light Chunky yarns. Measuring 20cm (approx. 8 inches) in length with a 5.5mm diameter, these needles provide the extra bit of "substance" needed for cozy garments that require a slightly denser fabric than standard 6mm projects.

Like all Milward tools, these needles feature a high-performance, smooth finish that allows your stitches to move effortlessly from one needle to the next, maintaining a steady, rhythmic pace.


Why These 5.5mm Milward DPNs Are a Must-Have

  • The "Aran-Weight" Specialist: Sized perfectly at 5.5mm, these needles are ideal for traditional Aran sweaters, thick cables, and heavy-duty winter accessories.

  • Stable 20cm Length: The 8-inch length offers plenty of space to comfortably hold multiple stitches on each needle, preventing the "crowding" that often leads to dropped stitches on shorter sets.

  • High-Quality Polished Surface: Designed to reduce friction, the smooth coating ensures that even textured or slightly "sticky" wool fibers glide without snagging.

  • Lightweight Strength: Crafted from a durable yet light alloy, these needles won't weigh down your project or cause hand fatigue, even during long sessions.

  • Precisely Tapered Points: Features a balanced tip that picks up stitches with ease while remaining gentle on your fingertips.

Perfect For:

  • Chunky Winter Beanies: Create warm, seamless hats with a professional finish in no time.

  • Seamless Garment Sleeves: The ideal length and gauge for knitting sleeves on adult sweaters and cardigans.

  • Cozy Mittens & Gloves: Perfect for thick, outdoor-ready mittens that need to stand up to the cold.

  • Home Decor Projects: Great for seamless hot water bottle covers, thick cushion panels, or knitted holiday stockings.
