Exquiss Bamboo Knitting Needles Set, 18 Pairs Circular(31.5”) Wooden Knitting Needles with Colored Plastic Tube, 36PCS Single Pointed Bamboo Knitting Needle(9.5”), Include Knitting Tools for Weaving

Great price for this amount of knitting needles. A great start for beginners to knit

I bought these because I wanted to get back into knitting and i didnt want to invest a ton at the time. Now these are good for learning or if your on a budget. They arent terrible but they arent the best. These will do the job, you may need to sand them in a few spots and I hung them over a hanger in the closet for a few days to straighten out the cables. They became a bit softer once they warmed up. I am making this months after I bought these. I actually didnt have an issue with them at all.

I purchased this set mainly for the circular needles- I wanted something inexpensive to see if it was worth it for me to buy a spiffy interchangeable set. And...there was a project that I REALLY wanted to start but I didn’t have the needles for it. The locking accessories box has movable dividers so you can change the configuration, which I’ll probably do. The scissors don’t close (by design), so they’d be a little dangerous in a bag without something to cover the blades, but they are sharp and from my limited test, good for precise cutting. The point protectors were in two sizes, one set each per color. The small size fit my size 4 aluminum dpns well, and required some tugging to get off so they seem like they’ll stay on pretty well. The measurement ruler, tapestry needles, locking stitch markers, plastic pins, circle makers, and flexible circle makers were all present and in the right numbers/sizes. The only thing I wasn’t thrilled with is that the circle makers and flexible circle makers were mixed, but that’s because I’m a little picky sometimes and it’s an easy fix. Also, the smaller sizes of the circle makers are a bit tricky to manipulate if you don’t have dainty hands but I’m sure they’d work well with small needles. The bamboo needles were present in the right sizes and each pair was packaged in an individual plastic sleeve. The tips looked good and from the 5.5mm needles I took out the needles were smooth. The sizes were etched on the needles, though the smaller sizes were harder to read. I do not know if the etchings will fade with use. If so, that is easily solved by having a well-organized needle case or keeping and labeling the plastic sleeves. As mentioned in some reviews, I could see how the smaller sizes would require more careful handling (aka not gripping the needles like you’re watching the suspenseful part of a horror movie) so they don’t bend but...it’s 2.00 mm of BAMBOO. Which is not exactly the material with the strongest tensile strength. The circular needles are smooth with the sizes etched on one needle and each size was present. Some of the needle tips are a bit blunt but it’s not a deal breaker. The join seems smooth for the most part and the cord is plastic tubing. The smallest sizes seem sturdier than I expected. I saw in some reviews that the cord wasn’t the strongest but I imagine that so long as the cord isn’t holding the weight of a heavy project it should be fine. If you want a sturdier cord that can take more weight, all interchangeable sets have locking mechanisms. It does seem like these would be good for magic loop knitting, the cords are very flexible! The only other thing I can think to mention is that the needles themselves are fairly long, so if you prefer shorter tips these might not be the set for you. I hope this helps!! I haven’t used the needles yet but if anything changes I’ll update my review.

Inconsistent sizing, not uniformly smooth - however, GREAT value considering the minimal cost. I have high end knitting needle sets (single point, double point, circular), but they're still packed away and I needed to get my knitting fix immediately. These are excellent clutch tools.

Very nice knitting needle set. I was struggling with metal needles, these keep yarn in place while working very well. No more stitches sliding off. I do wish the needles came with small rubber bands or something to keep them together but overall that’s an easy fix. Length is adequate, especially for the circular needles. I’d recommend these to anyone, but especially beginners, rather than metal needles.

Great for beginner, budget tight, and if you are not sure you will enjoy knitting. It's very light, easy to grip on. Quality... I really like that it's made with wood, but dislike plastic cable because it does smell little at first when you open it but it goes away quickly, look like it isn't held on well. I had no issues with cable falling off needles itself, maybe it depends on tension and how hard you are on it? It's nice it came with few accessories to work it into with, some of it breaks quickly tho. Update 1: the cable itself isn't best since yarn doesn't slide by smoothly that I often have to pause to put stoppers on needles and take time to tug yarn across the cable, doesn't matter if your tension is loose or tight, issue is both way. Maybe different yarn fiber will work better, but ones I tried so far doesn't work best with such as cotton, acrylic, wool, rayon, etc Update part 2: the needle itself are about 6 inches long so it doesn't feel comfortable to work with cable especially when I try to work with hat in circle, if its bigger project like cowl, then its little easier to work with. Straight needles are 9 -1/2 inches long, it feels too long and clumsy to work with, I had no fun with straight needles because of that. Update part 3: I'll still have to say this is good for someone who is a newbie to knitting and that they don't want to put too much money into it especially if they are not sure they will get into it. I'll be buying ones with better cables so yarn can glide by easier, and shorter straight needles.

For the price point and quantity of needles and notions, I was worried they would be cheap and easily breakable, but I'm happily surprised. My old knitting needles accidentally got buried deep in storage when I moved and I wanted to find a temporary replacement. There are so many sizes of both regular and circular wooden needles in this kit, and a cute little "tackle box" of stitch markers and needle caps. It would have cost a lot more to buy all of these items from my local Michael's or JoAnn's. I'll likely keep using these for future projects even after I find my old needles in storage. Would definitely recommend!

Everything is good except for the facf that the tubes disconnects from the needles. I had to hot glue it back to keep it in place.

Bra grejer för de priset, ibland händer de dock att garnet fastnar på små flisor i stickorna men fungerar ändå.

nice weight and good for beginners and a project

I was worried they might be horrible, but I was pleasantly surprised after I gave them a shot. Really nice grip on the yarn, but I would not use super soft expensive yarns with these needles as they might mess up the strand a bit, so be careful with that. Good set with some minor issues, but overall amazing for a beginner knitter (or even someone more proficient, who doesn't want to spend tons).

Très satisfaite de mon achat. Beaucoup d'article avec cette ensemble. Je tricote beaucoup et je fais une doudou pour bébé pantoufles pour un petit garçon et bien d'autres projet de tricot
