36PCS Bamboo Knitting Needles Set, BetyBedy Single Pointed Knitting Needles, 9 Inches Length Knitting Crochet Supplies for Beginners Handmade (18 Sizes from 2.0mm-10.0mm)

This set of knitting needles seemed quite inexpensive. I bought them mostly to have a full range of sizes, so that I could switch sizes to match the gauge of a pattern. Bamboo is generally good for beginners like me. Based on other reviews, I expected to have to sand down some splinters or sharpen some ends, which would be worth it for the price, for me. Mine seem pretty smooth, though, and they might even have a very light finish (they don't feel unfinished). The points all seem appropriate to the needle sizes. I don't have any repeated or missing sizes. The thin ones are very thin and would probably break if I put a lot of bending pressure on them, but the bamboo itself seems fine (not stringy and easily broken, like bamboo skewers). Other reviews have reported problems. Maybe the shipper has used different suppliers, because mine seem solidly made; they're not fancy or top-of-the-line, but they're unflawed. I'm very happy with my purchase. The size markings are a little light. That's probably a good compromise between readability and subtlety, but I took a dark permanent marker and labeled the ends.

I didn't expect much from such an inexpensive set of knitting needles, but they have exceeded my expectations! I am just learning to knit and wanted to have a large variety of sizes so I took a chance and purchased this set and I am glad I did. I am very happy with these needles. They are grippy enough that the yarn doesn’t constantly slip off, but they are very smooth and don’t snag the yarn. In the past, I used aluminum needles to try to learn how to knit but found them too slippery and always ended up returning to crochet. Since purchasing this set I have already learned several stitches and completed multiple projects. I have tried using a few more expensive needles that I purchased from a local craft store, but find myself returning to this set. Honestly, I prefer them to some that are five times the price. These were definitely a good buy! I plan to buy more of these sets for my students.

Overall, these knitting needles are very good for their price. I do recommend using oil and wax to smooth them out and prevent snagging. They have a nice, wide range of sizes.

I was looking for a size 4 and size 5 set of needles at a shorter length than all the sets I was working with. I have always worked with aluminum needles and have been happy with them. reading the reviews on these bamboo needles, I thought back and forth on if to buy them. I am glad I did. being wood, of course they are not as smooth as aluminum but they are smooth and actually the yarn is less likely to slip a stitch. while I was not looking for such a large collection, I am now happy that I have all these sets in the 9 inch length. my only complaint about them is that the needle size is engraved on the sides which makes it difficult to read on the smaller sizes; I wish the size was on the ball end of the needles.

I am not a beginner. I am a metal needle knitter and decided to give bamboo a try since a few fellow knitters recommend trying them for better yarn gripping. It took a while to get the yarn where it will slide of without effort. I was used to the yarn sliding a little too easily. I love it so far. My only concern is it’s fragility as I am careless at times with my projects. I’ve broken a circular needle metal piece at the connector when I accidentally sat on the knitting bag😊. I knitted my in-progress project from the metal onto the bamboo needle and really enjoy the control I have on it now. I bought the DPN ones too and now looking forward to making my next faux fur Lara winter hat with them.

Great value and works well! I am using this a lot! The quality is good and various needle sizes available.

Vary basic set

I have been knotting for over a year. I bought this set when I first began as a starter set because if the price. Since that time, I have really taken to knitting and acquired hundreds worth of dollars of knitting needles, my favorites being the addi brass fixed circulars. Well, I may have over-done it on the knitting because I get terrible pains in my firearms and elbow now (the real cause was an auto accident but the knitting doesn’t help). I’ve found the addi’s to be very heavy and found myself coming back to this lightweight bamboo set. I’ve also found that it’s easier for me to knit flat, as opposed to on circular or even DPN’s, because I’m not pulling/tugging so much and have a much easier time keeping my tension without over using my muscles. I have lived working with this set and have found that the wood does start to take on a smooth sheen after several uses (presumably from the oil of from my hands) and the yarn slides off much easier now. My most-user needles, the 4.0mm, have started to bend ever so slightly. But they are still a joy to use! I actually came on amazon to re-order a set so that I can have them fit when these bow, splinter or crack. But, then I realized that I’d never left a review from my last purchase and decided to do so now. If you are considering buying this set, just do it! Especially if you’re just learning to knit. These are quality needles at an amazing i rice!

Thank you! They're in great shape, so very happy :)

Bonjour je demande un renvoie du produit car les aiguilles sont trop courtes pour moi. comme je débute en tricot et je ne suis pas vraiment habitué a travaillé avec ce genre d'aiguilles c'est pour cela que je veux renvoyer le produit.
