Review on ๐Ÿงถ 35cm Filan Aluminum Knitting Needles, Set of 15 Pairs (2mm-12mm), Single Pointed - 14-inch Long by Wendy Rodriguez

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Extremely sticky PLASTIC (coated) needles!

These needles are NOT aluminum, they are plastic and have the stickiest surface of any needle I've ever used! I had a hard time sliding the loosely knit silk stitches over these things! That's a great price, but not for those horrible plastic needles! ETA: The seller told me (repeatedly) that they are aluminum with a coating. They recommended that if in doubt I could try burning the needles because plastic would burn but aluminum would not. I don't know if they would accept my return if I tried this "burn test" but I kinda doubt it. So, I'll amend my review to say that the OUTSIDE of these needles is an extremely sticky plastic coating that I couldn't easily slide over yarn. So again if you like smooth needles these are not for you, if you prefer stickier needles they will work for you. To me they are terrible so I sent them back.

Pros
  • Smooth surface (ABS coating), feels good in the hand, does not get caught in the yarn.
Cons
  • Requires socket
