75 Pcs Double Pointed Knitting Needles Set, BetyBedy Carbonized Bamboo Knitting Needles, Knitting Needle for Handmade Creative DIY - 8'' Length 15 Sizes (2.0mm -10.0mm) (5 Needles/Size)

These DPNs are definitely not the best quality, but they are good enough! And for the PENNIES that they cost, I really cannot complain. The coating on them makes them not glide super well, but they aren’t rough, don’t splinter, and they get the job done. I don’t use DPNs often, only using them for projects too small for my circs, and since I don’t use them much, I didn’t want to spend much on them. These were a great compromise between cost, quantity (I love how it covers all the main sizes), and quality. I would recommend them to anyone who, like me, wants something functional and for a low cost.

These were purchased so I could try out DPNs for shaping the crown on the beanies I'm working on. I prefer the look of a non-gathered crown for beanies intended for male family members and I struggle with working decreased rounds with Magic Loop on circular needles. This set of DPNs offered all the sizes I need, they're not too long, they're lightweight, and the bamboo seems to help keep yarn from slipping off the needles. Sizes are marked on the needles in tiny print, so I plan to label each individual sleeve (each sleeve holds a full set of 5 needles per size) to make needle identification easier. For the price, I think it was a good purchase.

This is a comprehensive set of bamboo double pointed needles with sizes ranging from US 0 to US 15 (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 10.5, 11, 13. US sizes are weird)<b>Pros</b>:1. Comprehensive set2. Extremely inexpensive. $8 for any size I'd possibly need? Sign me up!3. Quick to arrive4. Larger sizes seem sturdy.5. MM sizes engraved on needles. Very handy!I've only used the size 4 needles so far and they have been fab.<b>Neutral:</b> This is an $8 set. There is no fancy packaging, but each size comes in its own little cellophane packet.<b>Cons:</b> I'm being nitpicky here. This is a full set of double-pointed needles for $8. And most of them are awesome. But you're going to want to be aware of the cons so you know what you're getting, so here goes:1. Some of the needles have a scent to them. I have a very sensitive nose and it's not overwhelming. However, if you have a super sniffer you might want to be aware that a couple of needles have a scent. To reiterate: It's not hideous, but it's there.2. The points on some of the smaller needles are inconsistent. I apologize that there is no picture to demonstrate. On all of my other pictures Amazon was all, "I'll upload these no problem!" but for some reason it had a hissy fit on the one showing the differences in points. Most are uniform, but I had a couple of super sharp ones and a couple of blunt ones. One is literally squared off. Not a huge deal is it's on one of the very small sizes so will unlikely to be used much. Which leads into point 3...3. Although the smaller size are included I would caution that they are VERY thin. Bamboo plus teeny tiny needles = easy to bend and break. To use US sizes 0-3, you would need to be *excessively* gentle and careful with them. If you're looking for mainly tiny sizes, this set of needles may not be for you and I advise looking at much sturdier steel or aluminum needles.4. For the most part, the larger the needles are, the smoother they are. The size 4 that I have used are fine, but I have noticed when running my fingers over some of the others that they are not completely smooth. I would have to knit with them to find out if they need to be sanded - according to my fingers they'll probably be ok, but yarn may express a different opinion. Only one has a large defect though...which brings me to point 5.5. One has a large defect that will make it impossible to use without modification (see photo). I'm ok with 1/75 being a bit dodgy.6. Almost all the needles have the size engraved on them. A couple the engraving didn't quite take. Meh. Not a huge problem. It's just something to note.Overall, after using them (well...one size...) for a few days I'm very happy with these needles. I recommend them for beginners. If you're an expert knitter who knits a lot and knits fast, these are not the needles for you...you're going to want a much more sturdy and expensive set. However, for a beginner these are perfect. :kisses fingers:

Compared to other brands the price is not-to-be-beat. One or two of the 75 needles had a sort-of splinter that catches the yarn but all that is needed is a nail file or a tiny piece of sandpaper and they are good to knit. A couple are slightly warped but it makes no difference in the way they work and I love having numerous DPNs around as I go between one sock and another or sweater sleeves. I bought two packets so I have 150 DPNs in total for the same price for 5 of a more famous brand. The size imprinted on the needles is in millimeters (mm) and hard to read on the smallest needles but a basic stitch measure does the trick.

I seriously don’t know how anyone could complain about 15 sets of double-point needles at this price point. I’m ECSTATIC!I’ve been knitting for over 50 years, and would normally spend $7.69 (the total price of my order) for one set. Some of the critiques are accurate. The writing may appear vague on a couple of the needles. However, most double-point needles I’ve ever purchased have NO writing, you simply have to use a needle gauge to determine the size. I didn’t find that any of mine had snags, but using a little piece of sandpaper would easily solve that problem. The smaller needles are quite flexible, but for the weight of yarn you’d be working with, it shouldn’t put undo strain on them. And lastly, if the points are found to be dull, they could be sanded to sharpen the edge as bamboo is a natural product, not plastic or metal.The sizes are in millimeters as follows: 10, 9, 8, 6.5, 6, 5.5, 5, 4.5, 4, 3.75, 3.5, 3.25, 2.75, 2.25 and 2.I don’t often leave reviews, but I simply had to for these needles. Are they perfect? No. Are they worth the price? YES!My advice would be to get them before Amazon figures out what a steal these are for the price, and increases it!!

Going to need a lot of beeswax. The points are really blunt that causes them to split the yarn a lot. The US sizes are not printed on them so you have to convert the euro sizes for patterns. But if you just want a cheap pair to teach with these will work.

A complete set of double pointed wooden knitting needles. Well made.

These aren't perfect, but for what I paid, I'm ok with that. I've only used one size so far, but the only flaw is that some of the tips are blunt, almost flat. They taper as they should and then just seem cut off, kind of like when you break the very tip of a pencil. However, this isn't the case for all the needles and they're still tapered enough that I can use them. I bet with a minute or two of sanding, they'll be great.
