These needles are great! I've used the 5.00 mm needles for two projects so far, and they're working really well. The needles aren't unwinding from the cord, and the numbers aren't rubbing off. It comes with instructions so it's very easy to understand how to change out the cords and needles. Read more

I am a new knitter and I bought these because I didn't want to invest a ton of money before I was really sure about continuing with knitting. This is a great set. I has a ton of different size needles and 4 different cables. I've been using these for about 2 months and I have not had any problems with the cables unscrewing. They are very smooth and I haven't had any problems with the yarn moving smoothly over the joint between the cable and the needle. The description lists the cable sizes as 15", 23", 31" and 39". Be aware that this is the size of the actual cable; so if you add in the two 4" needles, you are actually getting a 24", 32", 40" and 48" set of cables. I believe this is how circular needles are supposed to be measured (with the needles attached). Overall, a great set and a terrific value for the money. The only downside of this set is there isn't a small enough cable to knit a hat. Read more

I am a true beginner and used these as my first set of needle and my first project ( after using for 2 days some needles I made out of some wooden dowels i had lating around and sharpened the ends to a point lol). I saw a few comments saying that they didnt stay together when you added the cords for length. Im not sure if it is operater error but when i use and connect mine they are perfectly fine and have only come loose in one spot one time and that was due to moving the whole progect while folded all up around a bit and then being carless with them when beginning it again. other then that these are the perfect thing for any beginner and have been more then perfect for me to use. That being said there are a few flaws and or improvments that could be made: Firstly they are too short travel freidly but a bit too short especially for beginners, being that they are metal and so very slick it become difficult to move doen as the yarn just keeps sliding and you may loose a few stiches but you can easily pick them right back up. Secondly the cord they come with just are very long and not very practial i find.. i have to use all four just for the small (more like half) of a couch throe blanket!. and lastly the color coating or whatever they use comes off fairly easy and they will begin to look rought after about 6 months of good use depending on how gentle you are at all times. But other these these few minor things I think they are great and were the perfect beginner set i could have possibly found and was worth every penny spent on them!! Read more

Such a convenient set for a beginner! The needles are sturdy and the kit comes with everything you need to start, even some more advanced tools like the cable needles. It stores very neatly and is very easy to bring traveling. Read more

Great to have a complete set with all of the attachments in a handy case to keep everything organized. Currently using it for knitting a sweater that requires three different sized needles. The different length of cables is a great plus for use in knitting either a body or sleeves. Good value! Read more
