5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Value
With the large number of items included in this set, my expectations were pretty low! What a wonderful surprise to discover a very nice quality of products and neatly packaged as well! Each set of 5 dpns is separately packaged and the needles are labeled with size. All of mine were straight and smooth; my daughter’s set were perfect too! No, they are not as slick as metal needles, but they were well finished and performed as any quality bamboo needle should. A few reviewers have complained about rough finishing and even suggested sanding with a fine grit sandpaper, but neither of the sets we received required any additional attention. The crochet hook set is also very usable. The other items were as expected and provide a nice assortment of the typical odds and ends you use when knitting. I doubt you can find a nicer, more comprehensive assortment at this price anywhere! If there was one thing I’d change, it would be the length of the dpns; I personally prefer the 4-6” lengths, but that’s just me. Altogether an outstanding value of very nice knitting items!
5.0 out of 5 stars Value for the money
I bought these for my daughter. She was so excited and couldn’t wait to used them. She said she was shocked how many needles there was. Made well
4.0 out of 5 stars Great bang for your buck, acceptable quality
Had to sand the wood needles/hooks slightly as they were not smooth, but they have an amazing range of sizes and were super cheap! The other accessories were nice to have too (anyone else always needing more yarn needles?), although also not the greatest quality. Happy with this purchase.
5.0 out of 5 stars What a Deal!
Very pleased with this set! Far better than expected and actually will exceeded expectations! I found the needles to be very smooth, non-snagging, and lightweight. I am currently using a set right now for a pair of socks without any issues. Of the 15 pairs of sets of five, there was only one needle that needed attention. Little sandpaper took care of that. These are great for beginners as well as experienced knitters/crocheters has virtually everything you need is included. Nice little box of tools and a set of wooden crochet needles. I just can’t imagine how they were able to include all of these items , each packaged separately, and shipping included for this price! Can’t go wrong here!
5.0 out of 5 stars Great value. Great quality.
These wooden bamboo needles are perfect for knitters new to double pointed needles. Using DPNs can be a bit clumsy at first—having to manage multiple needles instead of just two, but the texture of the wood holds the stitches in place where they stand little chance of falling off the needle—unlike metal needles which are slick. Included in this set is a set of crochet needles—always handy to have when knitting. The DPN and crochet sets are complete and come with very useful accessories—cable and tapestry needles, scissors, and a measuring tape, all in a sturdy plastic box. I’m very happy with this purchase!
3.0 out of 5 stars Good price, poor quality control
After ordering these needles, I didn't use them for a long time because I had several other working projects. Once I got to these needles, I was disappointed by several issues.1) There were only three needles of each size, not five. To knit in the round with double pointed needles, at least four are needed.2) Two of the needles were splintered to the extent that yarn would snag on the splinters and that the splinters could not be fixed by sanding. These two needles were unusable.3) One of the needles (6mm) was mislabeled. It is noticeable larger than the other two 6mm needles.4) The size of each needle is imprinted into the wood. Some of these imprints are very light and difficult to read.Besides these issues, most of the needles are fine. They are smooth enough for comfortable knitting and a great value for the price. The three star rating is mostly due to the first issue, that I received only three of each size and therefore cannot use these needles for knitting in the round. If you order these, count and inspect your needles right after opening to be safe.
5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic value
I love these needles...it's the first time I have used bamboo, and the feel of them is very nice. They hold the stitehes on the needle so they don't slip off too easily, but are still easy to advance the stitches as you knit. The price is great, I have enough double pointed needles to last my lifetime! I would definitely buy them again.
4.0 out of 5 stars Decent quality, the bags they come in are awful
It's nice to use bamboo needles with tiny, slippery yarns/threads, as the needles hold the work better. These are true to size, and provide just enough friction to hold slippery yarns in place. The only drawback on this set are the bags the needles come in. Some arrived with splits in the bags, which I had to tape up. For another dollar or two, it'd be worth it to find some better quality storage bags and zipper pouch to store everything in. A simple sticker on the bags with the size of the needle labelled in a font bigger than 0.5cm would be a good thing too. It's almost impossible to read the size on the 0 needles! I had to use my gauge to find the size on the smaller ones.
Decent buy
Disclaimer, I'm just a beginner so I don't have troves of experience to give a professional review. I bought these for that very fact, wanting something I could use for multiple patterns and have a go at DPN knitting. After reading a few reviews I nearly didn't get them, but I'm actually glad I did. They served their purpose and continue be pretty handy and worth the price considering I spent the same amount on only two circular needles.
I’d stick to metal, otherwise find some better quality wood ones
Even for the price it’s still a bit meh. The needles bend mad easy even for wood products but the little carry packet is handy even if you’ll need to find a different container to use.
