Review on Susan Bates Sock Set - 5 Pairs in US 🧦 Sizes 000, 00, 0, 1: Ultimate Knitting Kit for Sock Lovers by Jennifer Roberts

Love the size of the needles and the price. They are easy to work with. But I am knitting kids mittens in cream yarn and the cuffs will be *pink because I am knitting with pink knitting needles. I unpacked my work, washed the needles with Dawn and warm water, rubbed them well with paper towels, and started over. Still pink. I hope it pulls away from the fabric when I'm done, especially since these mittens are for a boy! I see another reviewer using Windex so I'll try that. Satisfied except for these needles. I suppose if I used yarn other than cream/white it would probably be fine, but I get frustrated with the color peeling off your work. And also true, as other reviewers have mentioned, they don't have any labels or indications to show which size is which. I was just comparing how they felt on my fingers to figure out which ones are bigger and which ones are smaller. I'll try to post an update on if the paint is peeling off my work when I'm done. You have to wash them often enough for the shade to noticeably come off the needle (for example my pinks are a very light pink now). I have one that is curved but the others are fine as I've gotten better at using these little needles. I'm halfway through my project and enjoying it well. Just wash them first if using white yarn!
