Worth every penny I can't wait to get started with these natural needles.

My order should arrive no earlier than October 3rd, but today September 20th and already on the doorstep. The needles are beautiful, very smooth, and come in just enough different sizes for almost any project. They are marked with both mm and US sizes which I wasn't aware of when ordering so that was an added bonus. In general, for a natural product, the sizing is 98% the size of each pair and 95% the full size. Although products are labeled in 0.5mm increments, they generally fit US sizing, with the exception of size 4 needles, which are actually size 3. I ordered 2 sets, one as a gift, and both sets were measured as listed. They also came with a lovely thin cotton storage box which is quite compact for so many sets! For a natural product I am very satisfied with what I received! I fitted them to an A Boye needle gauge and noticed some discrepancies: US 17/12mm (no gauge to measure), US 15/10mm (fits loosely), US 13/9mm (fits loosely), US 11/ 8 mm (fits freely in caliber ), 7.5 mm, 7 mm, US 10 / 6.5 mm (sits freely), US 10 / 6 mm (per caliber US10 = 5.75 mm - the needle is too big for the caliber, but significantly smaller than 10.5), US 9 / 5.5mm (US 9 = 5.25mm per needle gauge, one needle close to the other, slightly larger), 8/5mm (smooth fit), 7/4.5mm (smooth fit), 6/4mm (US 6=4.25mm fits freely), US 4/3.5mm (small fits US size 3/3 1/8mm) , US 2/3mm (US 2 = 2.75mm fits the probe), US 1/2.5mm (US1 = 2.25mm, although marked 2.5, fits well), 0/2mm US (a bit too big).

Pros
  • SMOOTH AND TOUCHABLE: These needles are smoother and lighter than metal needles. Because they are so smooth and lightweight, users suffering from joint pain or arthritis can use this kit for hours as they require less strain. They can be used by beginners and experts alike and are perfect for knitting hats, baby socks, sweaters, pillowcases, blankets, scarves and headbands.
Cons
  • I will write later
