KnitPro Nova Fixed Circular Needles 16" (40cm) | US Size 8 (5mm)

A 16-inch (40 cm) KnitPro Nova fixed circular needle in US size 8 (5 mm).

Nova is KnitPro's everyday metal needle, made from lightweight hollow brass with a bright polished plating that lets stitches travel quickly. The points taper gradually to a fine tip, so the same needle copes with plain stocking stitch and with lace. Made in India by KnitPro, the maker sold in the US for many years under the Knitter's Pride name.
