Review on Enhance Your Knitting Experience with Knitter's Pride Ginger Deluxe Interchangeable Needles Set by Karla Richter

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Impressive set, but defective needles

I was so excited to get these for my birthday, I already have the Clover Takumi Bamboo replacement set which I really like and I was dying for a newer set and after some research I settled on the Ginger Deluxe -Set, at first I was very happy with them but then a needle broke off their metal base, neither Revain nor Vir Ventures could take responsibility for the faulty needle, finally Knitters Pride finally offered me a new needle, it would be 6-8 take weeks. I've had 2 more needles come off the metal bases cleanly in the same spot during this time so I'm down 3 needles now and very disappointed with the quality of the needles where the wood meets the metal tip seems to be a real pressure point to break. A few things that I think could be improved with this set are the pocket for holding the cables which needs to be bigger as once the cables are used they are difficult to get back in the bag and also the elasticated attachment of the Needle should be tighter, my smaller needles just fall out, and although my needles broke, I only had them in use from the end of March 21, less than 4 months before they broke, and not only did they break, so did these Needle size details that are on the metal screw at the base are also worn out. Overall I feel like this set could be improved a lot, I really wanted to love them as I really like the feel of these needles, I love the wood they are made of, I love the style and all the details that came with the set and also the lovely wallet they come in and if it didn't break I would happily give a 5 star rating.
