Unless you're using heavy yarn you can probably make do with a 32" or
a 36" needle. When I made my Jaggerspun shawl earlier this year I had
nearly 1k stitches on a 36" needle - but that yarn is fairly fine and
squashed well...

I found out that one squeeze many stich on almost any circular , most
of my circulars aren`t that long in fact i have never measured them ,
i just buy them by ciircumference, i am not sure shops here keep all
kinds of lengths. if i dont have enough length i add a second circular
.
