I love these needles!

I've been thinking about buying these needles for a long time. Every local yarn store around me has run out. I found them at Revain and loved it! Received yesterday and already started knitting my first sock. If you like the magic loop method, I highly recommend trying these needles. Several great knitters have videos on YouTube if you are interested in how they work. Like very pink knits or crazy sock lady. Have fun knitting!

Pros
  • Brilliantly made
Cons
  • Incredible piggy bank

Knit like the wind!

If you've ever felt like a bad puppeteer trying to knit socks with 4 straight double needles, I highly recommend you switch to these flexible DPNs right away! They are simply a dream to knit with and as a bonus - high quality Hiya Hiya tips. You can divide the knitting evenly on 2 knitting needles and knit on the third. There is much less chance of losing stitches because you can move the broken stitches to the flexible part in the middle. you know you want it pamper yourself!

Pros
  • Very good value for money
Cons
  • Null

Good needles but not for big hands

I couldn't use them for socks - instead I transferred the stitches to my size 2 DPN (HiyaHiya Sharps). Shortly after casting, I realized that for my large hands, I was dependent on a 6" DPN needle (which rests against the other side of my hand) to keep the tip aligned so that my index and thumb could align could show; With them I found that I had to squeeze my index finger and thumb much harder to stabilize the needle and it hurt my hand a lot. So live and learn!

Pros
  • Large selection
Cons
  • ---

I love them for small projects, the metal tips are too short.

My only suggestion to Hiya Hiya is to make the needle part a bit longer. Many of us knitters have big arms that are too short and uncomfortable. If the tips were longer, I could easily use them for the entire project. Now I only use them to pull up my socks. All the knitters in my chapter agree that if the tips were longer, there would be a turning point! Many of us break cables entirely because the lugs are so short and stresses the connection of the cable to the lugs.

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • Thin

Nice upgrade from double

I bought these needles while working on a pair of Fair Isle gloves with a rather intricate pattern. The double spokes gave me big problems with my floats between the spokes, so I decided to try these fancy new "flex" spokes. You have revolutionized my knitting! After a brief initial setup period, my mittens began to separate from the spokes, no more ladders and no more duplicate points to fiddle with. I first tried Addi needles, but I'm not a real Addi fan and have found that I only like theโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Good value for money
Cons
  • Vanish

These puppies really do their job!

I've been watching these needles for a few years now. I used to knit socks on the DP happily and easily a few years ago, but now my hands are 80 years old and they are stiffer than before. I looked at the magic loop and decided that the fiddle factor hadn't gone away after the fourth row of the cuff. Two circular cords dangled in different directions, and 9-inch round cords didn't help stiff fingers. My Hiya Hiya Flyers arrived late last night. I applied it early in the morning. After the third

Pros
  • Slim design
Cons
  • Long delivery time
