CurtzyBamboo Knitting Needle Set - 16 Pairs of Wooden Straight Knitting Needles with Storage Case - Single Pointed in Sizes 2mm - 12mm - Each Needle Measures 34cm/13.5 inches - Beginners to Experts

My order wasn't supposed to arrive until Oct 3rd at the earliest yet it is Sept. 20th and on my doorstep. The needles are beautiful, super smooth and have enough size variety for nearly any project. They are marked both with mm sizing and US sizing which I did not know when ordering so that was an extra benefit. All in all for a natural product the sizing is 98% consistent for each pair and 95% consistent against the gauge. Though product is marked in half mm increments they generally fit the US marked size except for the size 4 needles which actually fit the size 3 gauge. I ordered 2 sets, one as a gift and both sets measured consistently as listed. They also came with a nice thin cotton storage case that rolls up pretty small for so many sets! For a natural product I am very pleased with what I received! I have fitted them against A Boye Needle gauge and noted some variability: US 17 / 12mm ( no gauge to measure against),US 15 / 10mm ( Fits Loosely),US 13 / 9mm (fits loosely), US 11 / 8mm( fits gauge loosely), 7.5mm, 7mm, US 10 / 6.5mm ( Fits loosely), US 10 / 6mm ( per gauge US10=5.75mm- needle is too large for gauge but notably smaller than the 10.5), US 9 / 5.5mm (US 9= 5.25mm per gauge one needle fits snugly the other slightly large) , US 8 / 5mm (Fits smoothly), US 7 / 4.5mm( fits gauge smoothly), US 6 / 4mm ( US 6 = 4.25mm Fits loosely ), US 4 / 3.5mm( small fits the US 3/ 3 1/8 mm in gauge smoothly), US 2 / 3mm( US 2= 2.75mm Fits gauge), US 1 / 2.5mm(US1=2.25mm despite being marked as 2.5 fits nicely),US 0 / 2mm (slightly large).

With me just starting out knitting I found that these are cheap but at the same time can with stand all the projects that I have been using them for. Not very shape on the edges so they are perfect for my fingers in the long run.

It’s a cheap way to get started, but you may want to upgrade after a few projects. For one thing, the needles are LONG, like 14” long! This means the length is not going to limit what kinds of projects you can cast on, but it is definitely awkwardly in the way for many projects where a shorter length would have sufficed. Secondly, the thinnest sizes are a bit splintery and they were pretty unusable with my merino wool fingering weight yarn (was using a needle from this set just to fix a mistake, but was otherwise using metal needles for that project). That said, I still think this set is a good way to jump in before you know how much of an investment you want to make.

The needles are cheaply made and bent. Save mo ey and get something else!

Showed up quickly. Gave them as a gift and hopefully the bamboo helps the beginning knitter to keep the yarn in place while learning to knit

Used to replace shorter needles I was using for a project I’ve spent hours on. I’ve knitted for years but nothing large enough to need this length of needles or skill. The brand I normally use is currently on backboard so my fault for thinking these would be good enough. Half way through switching the second needle it splintered and snagged my yarn multiple times. It’s not worth removing now so will return once completed. Will take it as a learning lesson to stick with the brand I normally use.

Good quality needdles, but the smallest sizes look too delicate. The fabric case holds them in place.

These look beautiful but they have a strong chemical smell, almost like Acetone nail polish remover and as soon as unrolled them one of the ends came off and I had to glue it back on. Besides the obvious defect, these needles aren’t as smooth as Clover brand needs and started shredding up my expensive yarn. I would not recommend these to anyone who buys more expensive yarn.:(
