Review on 🧢 Karbonz Fixed Circular Needles by Knitter's Pride - Size 1/2.25mm, 32-inch by Heather Shaw

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Karbonz are great needles but perhaps best suited to larger needles

In general these Karbonz are really great needles. The only downside I've found - and it's a pretty minor one - is that there's a slight snag where the metal grommets meet the carbon fiber body. It's not immediately visible to your fingertips when you feel it. however, fine yarn can get caught when working with these needles. Given that I bought US 1 (2.25mm) needles to knit fine yarn in a dense pattern, this is a minor downside - you just have to be a little more careful of the tension to avoid getting caught in the threads to catch. In general, this is not an obstacle for me and I will definitely buy more Karbonz needles; However, I will most likely limit my use of them to larger needles. For smaller needles I would recommend Dreamz solid birch needles.

Pros
  • Confident
Cons
  • Out of fashion

I consider these the best! Very nice for knitting with sock-weight yarn.
