Whether you prefer wool, cotton, alpaca, mohair, or plant-based blends, Flight offers a consistent glide and reliable joins that help your stitches feel even from project to project. Looking for other options from Lykke? Browse the full Lykke collection here.

Everyday knitting that feels smoother and more organized

This set is designed to solve common frustrations: cords that twist, tips that loosen, and missing needle sizes. The 5" stainless steel tips give your hands room to relax, the swivel cords turn with your work instead of against it, and the case keeps all nine sizes in one place so your core needles are always easy to find.

What makes the Flight 5" Standard set unique

Flight needles use 316 grade stainless steel with a light, satin finish so stitches move cleanly without feeling slippery. The 5" length gives you leverage for longer rows, and the balanced tip shape is sharp enough for lace and cables while still being kind to fingertips. This combination makes the set a strong fit for knitters who work a wide range of projects and fibers.

• 5" interchangeable stainless steel tips in US 3–10.5 (3.25–6.50 mm).
• 316 stainless steel resists rust and discoloration and is comfortable for most knitters with metal sensitivities.
• Hollow-core construction keeps the needles lighter than solid metal options.
• Medium-sharp profile suited to lace, cables, and everyday stockinette.
• Etched US and metric sizes that stay readable over years of use.

How the tips and cords feel while you knit

Long rows and bigger projects can highlight every small annoyance in your tools. The Flight 5" Standard set is tuned to feel calm and steady so you can settle into your knitting rhythm.

• 5" length supports your whole hand, which can ease strain on longer sessions.
• Satin stainless surface lets stitches glide but still gives you control over slippery yarns.
• Swivel joins help the cords rotate as you turn your work, reducing twisting and pulling.
• Braided steel cores with a clear coating relax quickly and avoid stubborn kinks.
