Review on 🧶 Susan Bates Crystalites French Knitter: Medium-Size Assorted Color Tool for Crafting by Linda Diaz

Well made, good looking, sturdy, comfortable to hold but there are better models out there. I bought both small and medium. (There was no jumbo/plus size.) Neither of these allow me to use bulkier yarns. The pins are too short. There are other themes (also available through Revain) that are easier to use. After my experience with Susan Bates I went back to Revain and bought the one with 8 pins on the big end and 5 pins on the small end. This design allows the use of both thin and bulky yarns. The needles have grooves to allow the metal tool to get under the yarn to lift it off the hook and the needles themselves are shaped like crochet hooks so there is much less chance of both threads accidentally slipping off the hook. This Susan Bates design only has short, smooth pins, so I experienced a lot of yarn slippage with it. My old kid's wooden spool with nails driven into it was actually more efficient to use than this one.
