Review on ๐Ÿงถ Hiya Hiya Knit Saver Cable - Large Size 18/20" (46cm/50cm) - Enhancing Your Knitting Experience! by Kristen Reid

18/20 inch for small projects

Just reviewed 24 inch cords for large needles. So there will be a bit of overlap in my review of these 18/20 inch cables. I generally love my Hiya Hiya Sharps knitting needles more than any other brand. (Please note I also have their wooden bamboo needles and these cords will work with them as well. The cords will fit ANY of their spare needle sets - large size). What I love about cords is that they WILL NOT come loose! This is huge for me! In addition, they flex in all directions and are the most flexible of any brand I've tried. My first set of spare needles was Boye and it was incredibly frustrating and almost made me give up knitting altogether. So yes, Cables are important! You may be wondering what I have for Sharp Steel needles for both their bamboo kit (when I have plain yarn and need wooden needles to hold the yarn on the needles) and everything else. I have tried different knitting brands among others: Boye, Susan Bates, Knitters Choice, Addi Turbo, Knit Picks, Knitters Pride, Clover, Chiago Goo and I have at least one set of needles from each of them and I keep coming back to my Hiya Hiya Sharp Steel return. The only one I haven't tried yet is Lykke Driftwood, but I doubt I ever will because I'm now starting to give out needles to friends who are just learning to knit. I can't imagine using anything other than Hiya Hiya. if needles are not used for the project. For example, if I need a US 10 at this point, but the Hiya Hiya Sharp Steel needles are already in service, I will use the needles I bought previously. My favorite spare needles, believe it or not, are Susan Bates. I hope this rambling review helps someone. These cables are truly amazing. And it's worth buying multiple cables of each size (if you have a Hiya Hiya set) as you'll find that you'll end up doing multiple projects at once. These cables are truly amazing.
