The pack contains 500 high-quality steel top needles designed for flat knitting machines, intended as replacement needles for knitting projects and machine maintenance.
Top needles refer to the needles that sit in the needle bed of a flat knitting machine and form the loops/stitches. They are the primary replaceable knitting needles used to produce fabric on flat machines.
They are made for flat knitting machines in general. Compatibility depends on your machine's needle pitch, profile and model—check your machine manual or compare needle dimensions/part numbers to ensure a fit.
Compare the needle dimensions (length, shank/profile and pitch) and the part number (AS52-1S) with your existing needles or machine documentation. If unsure, provide photos and your machine model to the seller for confirmation.
They are made from high-quality steel for durability and consistent performance.
Turn off the machine and follow the manufacturer's procedure: remove the old needles carefully, align the replacement needles in the correct orientation, seat them fully into the needle bed, and run a short test to check stitch formation. Consult your machine manual for detailed steps.
You can replace single needles or multiple needles as needed. The 500-piece pack is useful if you need to replace many needles or keep spares on hand.
Lifespan depends on machine usage, yarn type, maintenance and handling. With proper care they are long-lasting, but heavy production use or abrasive yarns will wear needles faster.
Keep needles clean and free of lint and dust, follow your machine's lubrication schedule, avoid corrosive cleaners, and store spare needles in a dry place to prevent rust.
Signs include bent or deformed tips, rough/sharp edges, broken or loose heads (if applicable), frequent dropped stitches, or inconsistent stitch formation.
The product is described as compatible replacement top needles made of high-quality steel. If you require OEM-certified parts, confirm with the seller or your machine manufacturer before purchasing.
They are designed for high performance and reliability and can be used in production settings, but expected durability will vary with workload, yarn type and maintenance practices.
Needles are typically packaged securely to prevent damage in transit. Exact packaging and shipping times vary by seller—check the product listing or contact the seller for specifics.
Return policies and warranties vary by retailer. Review the seller’s return and warranty terms before buying or contact the seller directly for details about guarantees and replacements.
Turn off the machine and unplug it before servicing, wear protective gloves if needles are sharp, handle needles carefully to avoid injury, use proper tools, and keep needles out of reach of children.
