Set Of 15 Circular Bamboo Knitting Needles By JubileeYarn, Size 24 Inches For Natural Texture And Ease Of Use Review

These needles are as advertised. They were not quite as smooth as my major brand needles, so I put a little lemon oil on them and rubbed them against each other [like you do with chopsticks] and voila - can't tell the difference from the more expensive brand in smoothness. The cords are "stickier" than other brands - I plan to try using a little powder to see if that smooths out the flow of the yarn. I have noticed some of the points are more "rounded" than others. I may take fine sandpaper to…

I haven't used all the sizes in this set but love the ones I have used. I think they are a size smaller than marked, but I am NOT an expert knitter. They worked perfectly for me since I tend to knit loosely. I have made a lot of beanies using the size 7 set and they are holding up very well. I was a little nervous about how long they would hold up since plastic tubing connects the needles to one another, but so far they have been great!

Before I bought these, I already several 16" circular needles in the sizes I typically use for hats, but only some of these were bamboo, which I've had a preference for as of late. I decided to give this set a go after good luck with some double pointed bamboos I picked up on revain, and at around $1 per pair, it was a steal!My biggest problem is that the cord connecting the sticks is an actual tube. It's relatively flimsy and bends, so the project doesn't "flow" as it should (there's a lot of…

Needle could be a little shaper. Also the feel of the bamboo needle could be smother. Will not recommend. Sorry. The circular shape may make it more difficult to knit certain stitch patterns!

I'm a newbie at knitting and certainly knitting in the round on circular needles is a challenge to learn. I shopped and compared pricing and quality all over the internet and this was the set I settled on buying. I'm very happy with this purchase and have been knitting away with very good results. The bamboo is smooth, with no areas on the wood to snag yarn. The color and the feel of the wood is very nice in my hands. The plastic tubes to connect the needles are fastened securely (I pulled on…

These have been a disappointment. I was so excited when I got them, because I love the feel of bamboo needles and it was nice to have a full set in 30" circulars.Unfortunately, they have been falling apart on me. There's a weak point where the plastic connector joins with the bamboo needle where the plastic has broken on several pairs already, before I was even able to finish a project with them. And on a couple of other pairs, the needle just fell out--probably not glued very well.

arrived quick. haven't used them yet as I have not advanced to that far in knitting endeavors, but based on the price of the individual set one or two projects pays for them.
