Review on LOOEN Knitting Needles Pointed Mm 10 0 by Amanda Castillo

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Lots of good needles for the price, in a good case, wish they were better labeled

This set has many advantages. There are many needles for the price---18 sets! I love traditional long wooden needles and this set is enough to cover yarn of any size and last a long time. The gray case is quite comfortable, stores needles and nozzles well. I like the yarn size sensor - it's easy to use and handy. However, I think I'll be using them quite often as these needles have one major drawback - how poorly the sizes are marked. Each set is only marked on a pin and then tiny tiny numbers that look faded. I had a very hard time finding size 7 needles and the markings when I found them were so small I wasn't sure what they said and I had to check with a gauge. However, this is a rather small problem. I like that it comes with cord accessories and a tape measure. I wish there were little scissors, but I'm glad there are yarn needles. All in all worth the price!

Pros
  • Handy gauge - you simply insert the hook shank into the appropriate slot to determine what size you are using. It's durable, pretty as a button, and works really well. The measuring ruler has a small cutting edge under the barrel. Ideal for cutting yarn and thread.
Cons
  • Expensive
