About Denise...
The Denise Interchangeable
Knitting Needle kit is the
invention of Lorraine and
Robert Linstead, who
manufactured and sold them
for over two decades. Prior
to developing Denise, they
designed what is now called
the Boye Needlemaster.
However, the Linsteads were
not satisfied with the
design, particularly the
problem of needles
unscrewing and discoloring.
They developed Denise
Interchangeable Knitting
Needles as an improved
product with a unique
locking system and light but
strong plastic needles—a
better kit for less money.
They are continuing in the
Linstead’s tradition of
manufacturing a quality
product at an affordable
price.

The Denise Interchangeable
Knitting Needle Kit...
Sizes 5-15 (U.S.), Makes
circular or straight
needles, variable lengths,
stitch holders included,
compact 7” x 8.5” case,
airline safe, made in the
USA, guaranteed for life
Needle sizes:
Ten pairs of
4.5”, light
gray needle
heads in
each kit.
In
this small blue or pink kit
(about the size of a
hardcover book) you get 10
needle tips from sizes US5
to 15, 6 lengths of cord
from 5 to 19” inches, 4 end
buttons and 2 connectors.
You may never have to buy
another needle or stitch
holder ever again. Though
you can make nearly an
infinite number of
combinations of cord length
and tip size, the basic set
is the equivalent of:
- 10 tips x 5 cord lengths =
50 circulars at $6 each
that’s $300.00.
- Plus 10 tips x 5 cord
lengths = 50 long flexibles
at $8 each that’s $700.00.
That’s at least $1000 worth
of needles you won’t have to
buy. And it doesn’t even
begin to cover the condo
needles, stitch holders and
other neat tricks it can do.
Join various lengths of cord
to get just the length you
want; leave your work on any
cord, twist off the knitting
tips and twist on the end
buttons and your work is
safely held until you need
it.
The
tips are made of a smooth
lightweight resin that’s
easy on your hands. The
cords are made of a smooth,
flexible blue plastic and a
simple twist joins the tips
to the cords.
"I have never enjoyed
working with a knitting
product more than with the
Denise Interchangeable
Needle system. It is
unquestionably the best
knitting product I’ve ever
encountered in every
possible way." Amy Singer of
