I have been knitting for over 50 years. Currently I mostly knit fine lace or lace patterns in sport or heavier weight yarns for baby blankets and plaids. The high yarn count and deliberately slipped and combined stitches mean that the needles have to slide, and nothing does that better than metal. I took each needle out of the box and checked the size against my needle template and also for rough edges, they were the right size and the needles were smooth. The tips of these needles are perfect. The smaller sizes have sharp ends that I need for fine, fine or other lace yarns, the larger sizes taper perfectly and have just a little curve at the tip, so i win Share a heavier 3 or 4 ply yarn that I might use for afghan fabrics. I read the reviews and was a bit hesitant but for the price they were worth the risk and I'm so glad I did. Like others you may want to rub the needles lightly before first use as I noticed a slight gray build up on the first few stitches of the pattern I was working on. I used scraps of yarn and had no intention of continuing with this particular fiber, so it doesn't matter and shouldn't be washed out. To be honest, I can't imagine starting a project with expensive yarn without first making sure the needles are clean.
