Knit Pro KP47406 Zing: Knitting Pins: Single Ended: Set: 30cm

I bought the set of 25cm length needles and absolutely love them. The needles have a slight grip so stitches don’t accidentally fall off. The different coloured needles make it easy to find a matching pair and the semi sharp points make picking up stitches a doddle. These short needles are perfect for knitting small toys, scarves etc.To complete the set I purchased the 2.75mm, 2.00mm and 3.75mm needles and they all fit into the case perfectly.I totally recommend this set and in the future will be purchasing an identical set with longer needles for using when working on bigger knitting projects.

I love the finish on these needles. They are just a bit grippy, so the yarn doesnt slide off, and being metal and hollow, they are nice and light. They also dont get too hot in the summer, so the grip seems to stay at the same sort of level year round, which is nice, unlike wooden needles. The 30cm length is really good for me, as I have quite short arms, so they dont hit my upper arms in use but still hold easily enough stitches for a DK or aran jumper. The finish is as excellent as ever, but they can dent on the tip if you drop them often enough onto slate floors! The colours make the nice and easy to see when dropped though, so its a good payoff. There is no join, unlike the carbon needles, so you dont get any snagging with very fine or fluffy yarns, and the tips are good and sharp for complex lace or other pattern working. They’d make a great present for any knitter.

I already have Knitpro Symphonies rosewood needles. I’ve used them for ages but needed metal needles for fine work. The needles are awesome, bright coloured and just fab to use. Why did I only give this set 2 stars? For the simple reason that the storage case absolutely stinks, it works fine, looks good but there it has a strong smell reminiscent of a burnt out motor engine! I has washed my needles snd they are fine, but the bag has been liberally sprayed with Febreze and is currently in a zip loc bag with bicarbonate of soda. Not sure what that will do to the zip but you’ve got to try. Guess I’ll be buying a new needle bag …

Brilliant needles, knitting glides along them with no snags ,Highly reccomend

Nice complete set of needles. Does 't say on post but you get 8 needles not 4 and sizes were not apparent either. However range from 2.50mm 6.00mm.

These needles are lovely and light to use as I have arthritis in my fingers. They are supplied in a lovely case. The points are fantastic as they just glide through the wool. I wish I had heard of these years ago. Only thing I was a bit annoyed with is just below the tip of one of the smallest size it is bent at the top, can’t really see it in the pic though.

I usually like to use wooden or bamboo needles but recently have had several develop small splinters at the point which then catches on the yarn so I decided to treat myself to some new non-steel metal ones. I can't use steel ones as they cause tingling pains in my arms. The zing are solid, smooth and beautiful needles. Will give me hours of knitting pleasure. The only reason not 5 stars is that they're a tad too long for me ... but that is, after all, my fault! I also bought some zing double points and fixed circulars and they are fabulous. Strong, pointy (but not too pointy) and have a great handle to them. The silver tip of the needle is all part of the same shaft but just not coloured and hence you don't get the tiny bit of drag at the tip that you get with the karbonz.

The needles are a great length and sit snugly under your arm. The points make the stitches slip more easily onto the needles, which in turn gives a more even tension. They come in a pencil case type case which is well made. I will never use old type or bamboo needles again. They are a definite buy for a serious knitter. Happy lady
