Symfonie 2 is here.
If you have ever knitted with Symfonie birchwood knitting needles, you already know the feeling we are talking about. That warmth in your hands. The way the yarn moves without resistance. The sense that your tools are genuinely working with you, not against you. The original Symfonie range built a following that spans decades and more than 100 countries, and it did so by getting the fundamentals exactly right.
Symfonie 2 is reimagining our beloved range of what a wooden knitting needle and crochet hook can be, built on everything the global maker community told us they loved about the original and taken considerably further.
Seven new colours in laminated birchwood. Precision laser size markings. Memory-free ultra-flex cables. A 360° swivel that changes the way you knit in the round. An invisible join so smooth that your yarn does not notice it is there. And fully plastic-free, biodegradable packaging, because how we make things matters as much as what we make.
Whether you are a longtime Symfonie knitter upgrading your set, a beginner looking for the best wooden knitting needles to start with, or a crocheter searching for smooth, ergonomic hooks that hold up through long creative sessions, Symfonie 2 was made for the way you actually make things.
The collection comprises knitting needles in single-pointed needles, double-pointed needles, fixed circulars needles and interchangeable circular needles in sizes 2mm (US 0) - 12mm (US 17), along with eight knitting needle sets.
The Symfonie 2 crochet hooks are available in single-ended crochet hooks and Tunisian interchangeable crochet hooks and in sizes ranging from 2mm to 12mm, along with a Tunisian crochet hook set.
Symfonie and Symfonie 2: What Changed?
If you have been knitting or crocheting with the original Symfonie range and are wondering whether the upgrade is worth it, here is the honest side-by-side.
What stayed the same
The things that made Symfonie the most-reached-for needles in so many project bags have not changed. The warmth of laminated birchwood. The smooth, non-slip surface that gives you real control without letting yarn skate away. The tip shape that works equally well for tight continental knitters and relaxed English-style throwers. The core of what Symfonie is remains exactly what it was.
What is new in Symfonie 2
Seven new colours. The original Symfonie had warmth. Symfonie 2 has personality. Seven joyful, saturated colourways — Green, Yellow, Orange, Red, Pink, Purple, and Blue are layered into the birchwood in the signature chevron pattern, making each needle and hook genuinely striking to look at and easy to identify at a glance.
The shades shine in the various lengths and sizes of single-pointed needles, double-pointed needles, fixed circular needles and interchangeable circular needles. The shades of the rainbow are clear on single-ended crochet hooks and Tunisian interchangeable crochet hooks too.
Laser-etched size markings. No more worn-off markings after two years of regular use. Symfonie 2 has precision markings on every knitting needle and crochet hook, permanent and clear. Interchangeable circular tips and fixed circular needles have laser marking on the metal parts. The right size, every time, without a gauge or a squint.
Ultra-flex, memory-free cables. The cables on Symfonie 2 do not hold the coiled shape from storage. They lie flat, bend where you need them, and offer zero resistance as you work. For knitters who have ever unrolled a cable only to fight it through an entire project, this is the upgrade you did not know you needed until you tried it.
360° swivel mechanism. This is the feature that gets people talking. The interchangeable circular knitting needle tips and cable move independently, meaning your cable never twists as you knit in the round. No pausing mid-row. No uncoiling. No tangling. Just uninterrupted knitting from cast-on to cast-off.
Invisible joint. Where the interchangeable and fixed circular needle tip meet the cable, Symfonie 2 has what KnitPro calls an invisible joint. The transition is so smooth and flush that the yarn passes over it without catching, snagging, or slowing down. For anyone who has had a rough join, pull them out of their rhythm mid-row, this one is immediately noticeable.
Plastic-free packaging. Symfonie 2 ships in fully biodegradable, plastic-free packaging. No plastic inserts, no unnecessary wrapping, and no compromise on the unboxing experience. It is a small choice that adds up.
The knitting needle sets come in beautiful fabric packaging with a spine of the rainbow colors in a chevron pattern. Similarly, the handy crochet hook set is an attractive kit for all crocheters.
Symfonie 2 is available now in knitting needles, circular needles, and crochet hooks across a full-size range. Find the colour that feels like yours.
Who is Symfonie 2 For?
Longtime Symfonie knitters will notice the difference from the first row. The new colourways make needle identification instant, the laser markings remove a small but persistent frustration, and the 360° swivel elevates every circular project.
Beginners will find Symfonie 2 birchwood needles one of the most approachable starting points available. The warm, smooth birchwood surface gives new knitters real yarn control without the hyper-slippery feel of metal needles, which can cause stitches to slide off unintentionally. The laser-etched size markings mean you always know exactly what you are working with, and the forgiving tip shape is equally welcoming to continental and English knitting styles.
Crocheters get the same birchwood warmth and colour personality in a crochet hook range that moves smoothly through yarn without resistance. For long amigurumi sessions, intricate lace motifs, or chunky blanket projects, a hook that genuinely fits well in your hand changes the experience entirely.
