Very nice, thick needles.

I love wooden (bamboo) needles when they are nice and smooth and these are one of the smoothest. They are so convenient to use and have the right point.

Pros
  • Great selection
Cons
  • Hard to remember but it was

Long enough for a large craft project like a blanket or sweater.

Love them for big projects like quilts. It's not easy to see the stitches on faux fur yarn, so I used a pair of metal needles with a sharper end. But most of all I love bamboo.

Pros
  • Price
Cons
  • Good but not great

Excellent quality; great needles!

I love these needles because the cord doesn't get tangled! I bought these because a pair of same sized circular needles I already had simply refused to stay unwound no matter what I tried to soften the cable. These needles are fantastic. It's worth paying a little more for an excellent product!

Pros
  • Always liked
Cons
  • Anything else I can add

Buyer beware Wrong item shipped twice

I gave one star because I didn't ship the right item. I tried to return/replace the item but the item is non-refundable. There is nothing wrong with the product itself. However the problem is that the item is listed as a size 13 and the size I received was a size 11. This is actually the second time I order this item. The first time I thought I had accidentally ordered the wrong needle size. When I received my second needle, I went through my order history and found that I had indeed ordered…

Pros
  • Excellent construction
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging

Some of these needles break; Obviously Kniters Pride doesn't care

I never give them a 5 star rating because... About a year ago I ordered two pairs of these pieces for two girls at my job which I was knitting teach. One of the circular needles broke the first night she used it and the next day she came to work and showed it to me. We wrote Revain, and to my utter surprise, the knitters didn't even offer to replace her. They didn't make any suggestions, they didn't even acknowledge that we complained. Period, and due to that event I wasn't even sure whether I…

Pros
  • Slim design
Cons
  • Long delivery time

Good needles until they break

These needles feel good in the hand and are sized as described (both needle size and circumference). I liked using them when I could. However, about halfway through the first project I knit with it, one of the needles broke the connecting wire, rendering it unusable. Because of the way the needles are made; it was impossible for me to glue them together without a vice or something. Which brings me to my overall rating: These needles were fine. until they burst. If you have a small or light…

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • thin
