Prym Double-Pointed Needle, High-performance Synthetic Material, White, One Size

Delivery of needles arrived quickly, within 2 day. I really love these needles. They look great, are light, comfortable in the hands and easier to work with compared to metal or bamboo needles, due to Prym Ergonomic needles being flexible.I chose these needles after knitters, Arne & Carlos, did a review of Prym Ergonomic circular needles in a YouTube video. Using them for a current sock project, I found that stitches do not slip of the needles, the hook tips make it easier to pick up stitches without splitting the yarn and no more stabbing myself with sharp pointed needles thanks to the nice needle tips. The bigger reasons for my purchase was to reduce joint pain in the working hand and they’re not cold to work with, unlike metal needles in cold weather. I like Prym Ergonomic needles to work with and will consider purchasing more for future knitting projects. I would thoroughly recommend these to knitters who feel the impact that inflexible needles may have on hand/ thumb joint when knitting for long periods or who cannot work with cold metal needles. Excellent product and well worth the purchase, even if a little more expensive.However, despite the above positive review, the only thing I was not happy with is how one of the needles snapped when I was knitting. I will purchase these in a pack with various needle sizes inclusive of 2.5mm needles but will end up with spares. This was the only snag I have with my purchase and therefore, cannot give a 5 star rating.

I wish I could get my money back as I ordered a month before I needed them and by time I came to use them the return time has expired. I only needed to do 30 rows of the sleeve welt after knitting a Yorkshire gansey in the round - as I was knitting the needles bent and then the tips started breaking off. I couldn't believe it - they are not fit for purpose. I advise that other customers do not buy. I've not been able to finish the garment and to-day have ordered some stainless steel needles at a cost of £3.95 when these 'Ergonomic, superior' needles cost me £12.95!! I do hope the company or Amazon reimburse me!

I have been knitting for well over 50 years, over time my hands have become painful and I have tried various knitting needles, especially for socks. At last I have found my ideal sock needles! The material is light, the triangular shape amazingly comfortable, no more cramp or pins and needles. The 'hook' really does help with picking up the yarn, I knit continental style.I quickly made adult socks with the 3.5 needles and Dk sock yarn, and have begun a 4ply pair with 2.5 needles. Fantastic! Well done prym for making these excellent knitting needles.

At first I had difficulty in adapting to the grip the needles had on the yarn. Having knitted eleventy-nine hundred pairs of socks, I was used to the smooth glide of other, more metallic, needles. Once the rib of my first cuff-down socks was finished, and I started on the stocking stitch, I had adapted, though, and I think I shall always use the Prym DP needles for socks.Why?The strong grip means that, when knitting in the round on DP needles, the last stitch remains naturally tight, and does not stretch when moving from one needle to the next. Hence: no 'ladder'. The gauge is slightly more relaxed, even though the appearance seems more tightly, evenly knitted together.And: COMFORTABLE! Less of a sharp, pointy threat on long haul flights, as well.

I love these. I knit the continental way and the flexibility in these seems odd at first but can't see me going off these. I have severe arthritis in my hands and fingers yet can knit for long stretches at a time using these. There are some things where only my very pointy birch needles will do but I do like these for work where my hands would otherwise get very tense and painful

This is a good idea but not for the very small needles add they bend far too much and are very easy to snap

Unfortunately, they are made from low quality plastic, quite thin and snapped off within 30 minutes of use. They may be cheap but unless your using silk thread, do not support wool knitting.

These knitting needles a light and an ease they give when using them.
