Review on Yosoo Circular Knitting Needle Kit: 13 Sizes, Interchangeable Needles, Zipper Storage – Crochet Hooks Set Included by Summer Hendricks

This is going to be a long recap, but I wanted to cover everything I experienced with possible suggestions that might help. See photos for clarity. I ordered one of these for my daughter and she loves it. I've also decided that I want a set. It turns out that no sentence is like the other. She just faced one of my problems. First off, this is a good set for the $23 I paid. It has nice colors, multiple lug sizes, and good cable sizes. You can always connect them to make them longer. Despite all the shortcomings, they work very well. However, nothing is known about their durability over time. The cables are quite flexible. I don't know why people complain about this aspect. Unless they buy an actual Boye set. Your cables are very robust! Now let's get to the problems I had. My biggest problem was the occasion. My daughters were perfect. Mine has compression in the middle where the inside is smaller than the outside and the zipper isn't sewn straight in, and both of these issues make it quite difficult to zip up. I have to make a lot of effort to zip it up. That's my biggest problem. The plastic washer that helps hold the needle in place while screwing it in is useless. It's just a thin piece of plastic, like bags. It works better with a small piece of rubber shelf insert. The needles are lightweight, but no lighter than any other aluminum needles I've used. On first use, the tips aren't as slippery as I'm used to. But if you take one of those white (Mr. Clean type) sponges, wet it, and "buff" the tips, they become smoother, shinier, and more perfect. You can also do this with paper towels. Don't overdo it, I'm not sure what's going to happen. LOL They almost feel like they have a dusty spray on them and they didn't bother to polish them before selling them. Also, the tips are a bit dumber than I'm used to, but I like it so far. I always split my yarn and make a mess out of it. Hope the stupid help. Next, bent cable lugs. My daughter has the same problem. Some of the heads are a little off, and that's not too much of a problem. A cable has its heads pointing in the same direction. This makes knitting very difficult. I tried submerging the cable in boiling water to see if I could change the shape of the cable, but to no avail. Then I decided to twist it very vigorously on each side. Slightly twisting each side of the cable at least made it usable. It didn't rotate in the head, which I was concerned about, but that doesn't mean it couldn't break or pull someone else out. just be careful Even with the shortest cable, the head does not transition smoothly to the cable. It's slightly larger than the others and hugs the seams. This cord takes a little more effort to overcast, but it's not rough and won't get caught in the yarn. Unfortunately, I probably won't be able to use this cable much because it's such a headache. But if you don't mind a little twitch for the price, then go for it. As for loosening the screw that people are complaining about. I haven't used them that much to share my experience but according to my daughter they stay on for quite a while before loosening. Maybe others just can't pull them tight enough? If I have trouble with this in the future I think you can put something in or over the screw to make it more secure. I just don't know what it could be. research required. I read online that women make their own cables. I've tried this and while it will work in a pinch I can't do better than the cables that come with this set. There are also cables from a set called ChiaoGoo that claim to have the same thread size (#2-56) as these, but the mounting screw for this set is on the lugs and the cable head is a hollow piece. Luckily they have a converter which if you use one will convert your cables to work with this set. (Get the small (S) cables and converter. Also, their cables are the same color and type as these.) Updated from this one --> *As I have screws left over from trying to make my own cables I plan to cut them to the desired length and glue them into the cables to make them look more like those cables. I haven't received these cables yet, so I can't attest that they work that way. *Update: I was unable to use the screws on this harness. The screws for the ChiaoGoo cables are not exactly the same as the screws I bought to make the cables for this set. You can use a converter but they are slightly smaller than the ones included in the kit. Although they seem to work fine. If you want to convert the entire kit to use ChiaoGoo cables exclusively, I suggest gluing the converter to the cable lugs, as another poster suggested. The problem is that after that you won't be able to use the cables that come with this kit. Overall I think this set is worth the $23 I paid. Anything more than that makes me wonder if it wouldn't be better to pay a higher price for others. If you choose this set, I wish you the best of luck in getting the perfect ones. I also traded my kit for another one with a better case.
