Switched all my needles to these.

I don't particularly like heavy needles. I like warmth and I've always liked wood and bamboo. Luckily I tried them on my LYS (Natural Stitches, Pittsburgh) and loved it. So I buy them from project to project. In the end I decided to buy a set because I chose projects based on what I had and was suffering from start-up.

Pros
  • Ideal for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Not sure

It's not that I don't like needles

I bought this set in December 2016 and now that it's February 2018 I'm sure Revain won't be replacing it having used some of the sets. I ordered the shortest…

Pros
  • Very impressive
Cons
  • boring packaging

Customers beware

Like many other reviewers, I fell in love with these needles as soon as I started knitting with them. Carbon fiber is amazing. It's light, stiff and doesn't feel cold. Other reviewers use the word "warm" but that's misleading. They are not cold, at most room temperature, but also not warm in the truest sense of the word. However, the tips of the needles feel cold because they are not made of carbon fiber. I was in the middle of my very first project with these needles and the metal coating…

Pros
  • cool product
Cons
