Needles


Hi!

metal needles
have not written long ago, and coincidentally I've just got some small needles to add to my I decided to dedicate a library entry crochet needles most suitable for amigurumi.

As I commented in a previous post, the thickness of the needles suitable for amigurimi is 4 mm. because it is the most suitable for general amigurumis for several reasons:

  • The thickness of the yarn: the thicker the yarn chosen for our work is our most big and therefore amigurumi , the larger the needle should be selected. As I commented in the previous tutorial input, the thickness of wool easier to find is between 3.5 mm. and 4.5 mm.
  • The size of the work: the wool of 4 mm. thick, and therefore corresponding needle is best for amigurumi medium (apart from the pattern and number of turns, because obviously you can make a giant amigurumi perlé). I put the example of Little Red Riding Hood, which was woven from the wool of 4 mm. thick and Leon, which was woven with 100% cotton lada 7 mm. thick.
  • patterns: most patterns are designed for 4 mm wool.
However, for some details such as hair, need help much finer needles, 1 to 2 mm. I hope to soon be able to provide a tutorial on various ways of doing the hair of amigurumi.

Once we have talked about the thickness of the needles is necessary to discuss the material.

Surely you count all metal needle color from gray to metal because it is normally found on sale in Spain, but the needles can be made of other materials such as wood, bamboo or plastic and have different designs.


Personally more needles I like are the ones made of bamboo for the following reasons:

  • are lighter
  • The more that you use more wool and wear better slides
  • No slip in the hand as far as the metal when you sweat a little hand
  • not honk at airports, so I can travel taking them

Las agujas de metal son las más usadas y las que normalmente podemos encontrar. Personalmente prefiero las que son más metálicas porque resbalan mejor.

Las agujas de plástico todavía no las he probado, pero tienen el inconveniente de que no suelen tenerlas de grosores medios o bajos, aunque cuentan con la ventaja de que tampoco pitan en los aeropuertos. Estoy a la espera de podérmelas comprar para mi colección pero es complicado encontrarlas.

With respect to the design ... as a collector I'm good I bring a few samples: colored needles, needles with mango, long crochet needle like point ... going that I have almost everything. The vast majority of my needles come from China because as I have mentioned before in Spain there is little choice or at least I have not found.
