Review on 10-Inch Straight Silvalume 11192 Knitting Needles by Doris Tran

I am sooooo disappointed and saddened by the extreme drop in quality of this product that I would never recommend ordering online where you cannot check them as they don't seem to have any quality control per manufacturer I I have a much older copy of this article which I absolutely love so I decided to buy a new set for myself as well as a few for gifts. NEVER AGAIN. From THREE such complete sets, about 50% of the spokes have serious defects! Some tips are rough, wrinkled and/or "chewed" where the plating is missing and the metal is damaged, and some others lack paint stains or appear to have scratched/damaged pins painted over and even shipped damaged. The plastic part of one needle sits much higher than it should be and of the other it fell off as soon as I unpacked it. And the packaging wasn't damaged on any of them, so the needles weren't damaged after packaging. Such a loss for this product really goes from amazing to rubbish.
