The highest quality needles at the best prices! I love it!

I just LOVE these needles! I also have nickel plated needles as well as other, more expensive brands, but I bought these after receiving a size 7 and 40 inch cord with a $1.99 order from Knit Picks. I wanted a sharper point needle for lace work and the size 7 I got was perfect! My husband (a carpenter with a HUGE collection of tools) asked why I keep needing more and more needles of the same size. I explained that sometimes I have 3 or 4 projects, all a size 8, or I prefer certain needles for certain yarns or items. I love the nickel plate for fluffy mohair, tacky yarn or cotton. I like carbon fiber for smooth silk and pointed wood for wool lace or cord. are also interchangeable with Knitter's Pride knitting needles and pigtails. While the price initially drew me to these needles, an added bonus of the Knit Picks interchangeable knitting needles is a tiny hole that is used with a small wrench to tighten the tip of the needle This tiny hole can be used to thread floss to install the lifebuoy while knitting, eliminating the need to install it separately. If you haven't tried it yet, do it! I'm sure there are videos on You Tube that show you how to do it. When you're knitting lace, lifebuoys are invaluable and this way of displaying them is great! I use interchangeables almost exclusively, whether I'm knitting in the round or not. I use Magic Loop for hats and socks, so I rarely need small cords or twin needles. What I love about Knit Picks is that they make very high quality items at a very reasonable price so I can streamline 2 sets of their needles instead of a set of Chia Chias or Addis and not miss out on anything. The same applies to their yarn. Why buy a Cascade 220 for $10/100g when I can buy Knit Picks Wool of the Andes which is almost identical and has the same huge range of colorways for around $7/100g? Not much of a difference for a one or two ball project, but if you're making a sweater. I've never had a single problem with a Knit Picks product, but I know they will replace something if I do. Their customer service department responds promptly to all my questions, so I'm sure the return will be hassle-free. , including awesome tutorials, blogs, and other sources of inspiration, so I'm happy to recommend them to anyone who knits, crochet, or is thinking of a thing or two!
