Review on ๐Ÿงถ Karbonz DPNs 6 inch (15cm) Knitting Needles US 3 (3.25mm) by Knitter's Pride - Model 110110 by Amber Perez

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Undecided and a bit disappointed

When I first heard about these needles I was so excited to try DPNs that don't break like wood/bamboo (especially the problem with very thin sock needles) but won't slippery like most metal needles. I couldn't wait to try the set. I like the light weight of these needles and the stitches move very well without slipping so I don't have a stranglehold on everything. However, the connection between the shaft and the tip is not as smooth as it should be (not as good as the zings in comparison) and one of the tips in my new set is scratched and now has a rough surface. which I feel with my fingers and lightly hold on to the yarn. I have not dropped this pin or done anything with it and it is brand new! I have a feeling I'll end up preferring Zing's Karbonz, which I think will be a happy ending because they cost less anyway.

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • No automatic
