A major flaw

I am very happy with these wires. Except the ends aren't finished/rounded so they snag on your yarn! If you don't have a lot of room to go around the edge, it will be difficult to get the wire through the cloth without tearing the yarn. I'm actually here looking for replacements because it's frustrating to work with them as there are issues. They didn't turn black on me and all you have to do to get them out is roll them into circles and then wrap both edges around the center of the circle aโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • Some trifles

much better than just pins

I didn't have other locking wires (and haven't tried welding wires) so can't compare them but these worked great for me. They give a very nice straight line to the scarves I've made. The gifts I blocked with these pins look much prettier and more professional than regular pins. They come with T-pins, but I really only use sewing needles to hold the wires in place when I want to stretch the lock a bit. They "ring" a bit in my hands when I use them which means they aren't very high quality steel,

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Miscellaneous Miscellaneous

Cheap guitar strings, incomplete product idea

Guess I'll be the first to differ from the rave reviews here. What I received turned out to be cheap guitar strings, hand rolled into a circle and tied with haversack ribbon to hold them together. Keep the tie as you will need it for storage if you decide to use it. When I say guitar strings, I mean the unwound/smooth acoustic guitar strings; Top strings that I wouldn't call superelastic based on the product description I've read. There is no protection at the end of the wire (unless you areโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • No instructions
