Review on ๐Ÿงถ ChiaoGoo 2009-6,9-Inch Bamboo Circular Knitting Needles (6/4mm): Premium Quality for Crafting & Creativity by Lori Aguirre

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Can't tell you if they are durable or long lasting

I didn't give five stars because they are so new to me. I can't tell you if they are strong or will last, I just received them. They are SMALL - much smaller than I thought. I think nine inches measures EVERYTHING, including tiny pins. The pens are really small though! You can knit them very easily, in fact I make adult socks out of them! Yes you can! They have been wonderful so far and would recommend them. I took them because they were cheapest with bamboo needles. I just chose Bamboo because I've often given up in despair after knitting a sock for several days, only to lose the stitches right off the needle, they slipped off immediately. With bamboo, he has more "shops" for yarn to cling to. Not TOO - they slide easily, but with plastic or steel they're TOO slippery. I was skeptical because of the small size of the needles and figured NO they just wouldn't fit, but I was pleasantly surprised when I started knitting my first sock on this round. Very good! WE have to make them in America - WE have to. I'm one of those people who say no to Chinese made goods, but when I looked for that specific size and short circle, no one had it! Why is this? We must build a factory and do the same ourselves. Thank you - yes I would recommend and they got home in just a few days.

Pros
  • The best
Cons
