It's no surprise that the DREAMZ line is one of KnitPro's most popular knitting needle brands. Never has one needle pleased so many knitters. We are confident when we make that claim thanks to the oodles of notes, texts and letters attesting to the fact that knitters, experienced and new, enjoy these needles. Why the resounding success? No doubt, it's a combination of things.
Let's explore what makes Dreamz special.
Warm & Smooth Birchwood
Lots of knitters learned on wooden needles, so there is the "warmth & nostalgia" factor, but the fact that the needles and hooks are colorful and are sized by color is also often mentioned as a bonus. We hear about the sensory pleasure experienced thanks to the smooth and polished birchwood surface.
Color-Coded
Studies reveal that bright shades can increase your mental activity and leave you feeling rejuvenated and energized. We have a rainbow of shades: Aquamarine, Burgundy Rose, Misty Green, Candy Pink, Purple Passion, and more. Each shade represents a size.
The color-coded vibrant shades are infused into all the types and sizes of needles & hooks produced for the Dreamz line. This versatility allows you to bring your creative ideas to life, whether you're working on straights (single-pointed), circulars (fixed and interchangeable), double-points (DPNs), or crochet hooks.
Knitting Needle Range & Handy Sets
Dreamz caters to all knitters, regardless of their skill levels. There are plenty of devoted knitters who still knit withstraight needles; we also hear from many who have come to love the flexibility that they get by usingcircular needles. They can knit back and forth on them, if not knitting in the round. The lightweight stainless steel nylon-coated cords make the project easy to maneuver. This is especially appreciated when making wider blankets or throws.
Dreamz circular needles come in 2 styles: fixed or interchangeable. The interchangeables have a slight advantage in that they are available in different needle lengths (4" & 5"), which can be helpful depending on the project. This means you can use the same set of needles for various projects, saving you the trouble of buying multiple sets.
The sets of needles are often mentioned favorites for a reason. They offer the best value when it comes to purchasing multiple sizes of needles, providing a convenient and organized solution for your knitting needs. Take a look at the Grande set of Dreamz Interchangeable Needles to see what we mean.
This handy dandy Dreamz set contains 14 sets of needle tips, ranging in size from 3.0 mm through 12.0mm, plus 6 cables and a host of useful accessories. When packaged in this bright case, it is the perfect travel set and an organizational bonus. Anyone who knows how cumbersome it is to organize circular needles will grow to love this bonus factor.
Additional Dreamz sets can be found here, as well as this classic set of Dreamz Straight Needles, which are available in a choice of 3 different lengths. These sets make the perfect gift for anyone who loves to knit, showing that you've put thought and consideration into their hobby.
What better way to show your appreciation for their craft?
Some knitters may feel a bit nervous when working with double-point needles, but the Dreamz DPN's are designed for ease of use. Once you get the hang of it – and spread the stitches out, in even numbers, over 4 of the needles, you may soon grow to appreciate them – especially when doing socks! This super set of 5 Dreamz DPN's, containing 5 of the most popular sizes, all color-coded for size, will be an often-used addition to any needle collection.
Talking about sock knitting – a conversation that often comes up around a discussion of double-point needles - we have to tell you about the ultimate sock yarn. Terra comes in 47 different colors, and it's the ideal choice for a lot more projects than socks! It's a beautiful yarn for any project calling for a lightweight fingering weight. Be sure to check it out!
Rest assured, the Dreamz line extends to crochet hooks, as well.
Crochet Hook Range & Handy Sets
Made of exactly the same colorful polished birchwood as the needles, the Dreamz single-ended crochet hooks glide smoothly with all manners and types of yarn.
Given that many crochet projects call for more than one size hook, most crochet artists need, and like, to have a variety of hooks at hand. The Dreamz crochet sets make a lot of sense – especially considering what a great value they are: 12 sizes in one organized and zippered case.
Lately, we have noticed an uptick of interest in a lovely hybrid form of the art: Tunisian Crochet. We call it hybrid because some people describe it as a combination of knitting and crochet. It also results in beautiful accessories, throws and rugs. It's a simple technique – easily shown and learned online. Once learned, it's hard to stop.
If you are just starting out and learning this easy-to-do craft, you might wish to start with one of theseTunisian Crochet hooks. This has a cable attachment so that the work is easily held in place, with a cable cap at the end to prevent any stitch fall off. No surprise! It's also available as akit, should you want a full assortment of sizes.
Handy Bordeaux Fabric Case
Dreamz is not just dreamy for its smoothness and radiant colors, it comes with handy storage options. Bordeaux fabric cases have been utilized for organized storage of the knitting needles, crochet hooks and sets. Explore zippered cases as well as envelope-style cases with motifs of adorable sheep figurines. All the packaging is a part of our practice of using sustainable materials wherever possible. Isn't that case the cutest? We get so many compliments on it, as well. One happy knitter told us that her daughter took the needles out of the case and used it as a purse when she went to her prom. (We loved reading that!)
