Currently the wait time on our wood needles is 12-14 weeks. Seriously. We are working diligently to reduce that time, but for the moment, it is what it is. Making our needles involves a great deal of hand work. It’s those hands working that make our needles superior to assembly-line products.
How you order is up to you - pay up front or pay when the needles are ready or pay any time in between ordering and shipping. We have found that some folks would rather know the monies are allotted for their needles. Others prefer to use the wait time to save up for their sets. Whatever works for you, works for us. If you use the PayPal shopping cart, the monies will be taken via PayPal at the time of order. If you use the form on our Contact page, we’ll send you an invoice that is due when we notify you that your needles are ready. The invoice can be paid at any time prior to the shipping of the needles.
Special requests? Want to mix colors or have certain cable lengths? Use the form and we’ll gladly invoice you. Interested in special order items other than the interchangeables? Use the notes and/or color section to tell us what you would like.
Darn Pretty™ Wood Needles
We work hard to bring you what we consider to be the finest wood needles available today. Each needle is tipped by hand, buffed by hand, and in the case of our interchangeables, checked for proper connection prior to shipping. For more on the process, visit our About Us page.

Darn Pretty™ Double Pointed Knitting Needles are pretty darn amazing. Crafted in Vermont, our DPNS offer superior feel and performance. Each needle is buffed, smoothed, and polished to a fine sheen with just enough grab to keep your work from slipping away.
Double points are crafted in two styles - striped or swirl. The swirl needles are created by slicing and laminating the wood stock a second time, resulting in an array of colors that swirl around the length of the needle. Shown at right in Vermont Rosewood™ and Hazelnut.
Darn Pretty™ DPNS can be purchased separately (5 needles per package) or in sets of 5 sizes: US 0, 1, 1.5, 2 and 3.
Larger size sets are available in US 4-9.

About our Tips Our tips are made by hand. Expect variation from set to set, even needle to needle. It is that hand work, however, that places our tips far ahead of the pack. There is no ridge between shaft and taper. As a result, our needles perform as though they are pointier than they are. For those who want a longer taper, we offer a lace point. If you are unsure, we suggest you order regular tips. We can always make them pointier, but we cannot put back wood we've taken away.
We work hard to bring you the finest knitting needles available. Our interchangeable sets involve a great deal of hand work. Sets are made to order, one at a time. When you order a set of Darn Pretty™ Wood Interchangeable Needles, you are ordering a beautifully crafted heirloom made just for you. This hand work and our attention to detail is reflected in the wait time for a set of our needles.
We not only guarantee our needles, we guarantee you will love your set. If you do not, for any reason, return your set for a full refund.
