I have been knitting for over 50 years and I use all kinds of circular knitting needles. I have several sets of spare needles but wanted to use something less expensive for projects that I knew wouldn't finish quickly, are smaller than a #4 (US) needle and could be used as a stitch holder for a large number of stitches. You are perfect. I bought longer needles to use with the magic loop. I've given a durability rating of 4 because I'm not sure how durable they will be. These are wooden lugs with a plastic tube for the cord and I don't know how well they hold together. I've used them a few times and had no problem with them falling apart. Not sure if they are suitable for beginners because some people have problems with wooden needles not allowing the stitches to move easily, but this can be remedied by running wax paper over the tips to tighten them little to smear. Also, some beginners have trouble maneuvering with circular needles. Overall I am very happy with this purchase.
