Blackthorn Knitting Needles
Standard     Custom




Our double point needles are the only carbon fiber knitting needles in the world ! They are not made of metal, wood, or plastic. What they are made of is a Carbon Fiber  Composite - the same material used in the new Boeing 787 Dreamliner and the Blackbird Stealth Jet as well as sporting goods that demand strength in a lightweight material.  With their nice pointy tips, we decided that the name Blackthorn DPNs described them perfectly.

LOW SHIPPING in the USA! - Yes, we're now shipping your Blackthorns and most anything else you order from our website for a low $2.00!  Please note that this goes up to a maximum of $8 for purchases over $300 due to postal insurance.

These sets of 5 needles -- NOW in NINE sizes from US 0000 to 4 have the feel of bamboo (smooth but not slick) and feel warm to the touch.  They are as strong as but more flexible than steel.

News Flash - Blackthorns are now available in the popular 2.25mm US size 1 as well as our original 2.50mm US size 1s.

We make our needles in several lengths to accommodate any knitting style and project.  Contact us for special pricing on  options for a beautiful Pair of Blackthorn Straights.

Your order of Blackthorn DPNs will come in a re-useable clear plastic pillow box.
