That&#8217;s why today, in this article, we are going to try to guide you by elaborating a list of your first useful and effective purchases to begin well in knitting.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #d7b38f;\">The needles<\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #223369;\">Needles are, without a doubt, the first accessory you need to start knitting. As mentioned in our article on the different types of knitting needles, there are many different types of needles. Although there are many choices, we strongly recommend that you choose straight, single-point stainless steel needles.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #223369;\">Why is that? Because <a style=\"color: #223369;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.lalainieredewazemmes.com\/en\/matieresaiguille\/inox-en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">stainless steel needles<\/a> are, admittedly, less light than <a style=\"color: #223369;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.lalainieredewazemmes.com\/en\/matieresaiguille\/bamboo\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">bamboo needles<\/a>, but your wool thread will slide perfectly on them, which will facilitate the grip.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #223369;\">As for the size of needles to choose when starting out, we advise you to knit at MINIMUM in size 5. Knowing that the needle size 8 is the most suitable for learning to knit.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #223369;\">Also, single point needles are highly recommended for beginners as it prevents your stitches from slipping off the other side of your needle and, therefore, losing all of your work.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-77422 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lalainieredewazemmes.com\/wp-bundles\/uploads\/2023\/04\/9E0010A4-4270-4D49-A463-89F1E83FAFA6-e1682086317180.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2049\" height=\"1537\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #d7b38f;\">The balls<\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #223369;\">Then, as indicated in our article &#8220;Yarns and wools to start knitting&#8221;, it is advisable to avoid all types of noble wools, fancy yarns or too fine yarns like layette wools for example. You will need to choose synthetic balls, such as acrylic in size 8 for example, to learn how to make your first stitches. For your first projects, we recommend the <a style=\"color: #223369;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.lalainieredewazemmes.com\/en\/product\/canada-lammy-classic-wool\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CANADA<\/a> or the<a style=\"color: #223369;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.lalainieredewazemmes.com\/en\/product\/ball-of-wool-alpina-6-lammy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> ALPINA 6<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #d7b38f;\">The kits<\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #223369;\">Finally, at Laini\u00e8re de Wazemmes, we offer several knitting kits accessible to beginners in terms of level.
