This fantastic set will have you getting off the bench! Each set includes six sizes of 18mm / 7" Team Canada-red aluminum needles (2mm, 2.25mm, 2.5mm, 2.75mm, 3mm and 3.25mm), a soft shell pouch with an inside zippered pocket that holds all your needles and notions, six iconic Canadian stitch markers (hockey, beaver, canada goose, polar bear, maple syrup bottle, and map of Canada), and an absolutely stunning maple leaf needle gauge for sizing your square needles.
As an added bonus, each set comes with a real maple syrup candy to enjoy, while knitting and thinking about Canada!
These needles are manufactured entirely in Canada 🍁
Why square needles?
Our SQUARE™ needles are perfect for knitters who have arthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome, and stiffness or joint pain in their wrists and fingers. SQUARE™ needles and crochet hooks decrease contact stress by giving your fingers a flat surface to rest on while knitting. This is different from traditionally-shaped round needles and hooks, which force your fingers to rest on smaller, convex-shaped surface areas. Reducing contact stress relieves strain and tension in your fingers, which in turn decreases hand and wrist discomfort while knitting.
Conveniently, they're less likely to roll off the table than conventional needles!
kollage SQUARE™ is a subsidiary of Career Services, which started as a grass roots initiative in 1972.

Our business does not have an owner, we are a non-profit organization overseen by a board of directors made up of community minded working and retired professionals that guide our mission to expand inclusive employment.
We are passionate about manufacturing the highest-quality knitting needles. All 100% manufactured in Brockville, Ontario, Canada. Our materials are sourced from 60% Canada, 35% USA and 5% globally. Hand made to perfection by our team of needle makers.
