40 inch Circular Knitting Needles Set 2.5mm 3.5mm 4.5mm 5.5mm 8mm 10mm

Excellent value for money with these, good sizes. Us sizes on them so if you’re in uk a quick google to convert us to uk need sizes are needed but I’ve knitted 2 blankets with these. Chunky knit stitch with larger sized ones and smaller basket weave stitch with the smaller ones. No issues so far and much easier than 2 needles separately. I’ve had more expensive metal ones that my 4 year old liked to play with and they ended up bent. Bought a replacement pair and also ended up bending with just being in my handbag. I’ve bought thinner wooden ones to knit my sister a little bear for her new born and 4 year old snapped it and other pair snapped with me sitting on them. These needles, even the thinner ones, are sturdy enough for 4 year old to touch and not break also not break or bed with me sitting or standing on them (I’m quite clumsy). No issues with them piercing through bags like some metal ones and not too blunt that it’s hard to stitch wool on them. I’m quite a novice with knitting, I’ve only knitted 5 things in my life so a more experienced knitter may think differently but for me these are perfect for larger projects like blankets, not losing one needle or piercing bags/ being broken with my clumsy nor child getting a hold of them. Only issue would be if you do have kids watch carefully they don’t find them and wrap the plastic bit around their neck, hasn’t happened to me yet but I’m quite conscious of it having an inquisitive 4 year old who’s touched knitting needles in the past

I have never used circular needles before as I always tend to avoid patterns that use them. I knit with one needle under my arm so was worried that I wouldn’t be able to use them. These were very easy to use as they are wired through the centre of the plastic and the pins are a good length. I am now on my next project that requires them.The only negative is the sizes are written on the needles but very difficult to read and no size instructions came with them. The good thing is each needle is colour coded so I have made a list on the packaging they came in for future reference. Also good value for money.

They had some sort of oily residue on the needles which was easily washed off. Size 8mm was the size I needed and they were ever so slightly bigger than the bamboo ones I had broken - hence buying metal ones. In the blanket I’m making it’s not really showing but may have to do tension swatches for mor critical projects.

Knitting

ok, although I wish they were a bit smoother

Great set of circular needles. Easy to use and good value for money. Would recommend.

This is a very useful set of circular knitting needles and for someone who travels by train a good deal they are invaluable -- easy to pack and you don't hit your travel companion with your needles. They arrived very quickly indeed. The packaging is a little basic in that they came all in one big plastic bag rather than separated, but I have now sorted them. Unfortunately there was a doubling up on one size of needle, so one size is missing, but for the price, that is not a great problem. One of the needles also had quite a rough patch on it, but that can be smoothed down, otherwise in good condition. Can recommend.

I’ve had these needles for a while now. I’ve been teaching myself to knit after stopping as a child. The needles are comfortable to hold and the wool moves smoothly across the bamboo. I’ve had problems with wool ‘sticking’ to the metal needles I was using. Only minor issue I’ve had is that sometimes the stitches get stuck at the needle / plastic tube interface which slows down the knitting process and this is why I’d deducted a star. So far I’ve knitted a hat and a toy doll with them.I will be buying another set for an experienced knitter in the family.
