Knit PicksOptions Wood Interchangeable Knitting Needle Set - US 4-11 (Mosaic)

I love these needles. Price is good. Wood is nice because they are warm in your hands and not as slippery as nickle plated or as sticky as acrylic. They don't break as easily as the acrylic either. The points are long and sharp enough that they can be used for cables and decreases easily. The cords are soft enough to work magic loop and stiff enough to slide stitches easily.Interchangeables give a huge amount of flexibility. In circular knitting I use the correct size for gauge on the right or active needle and a couple of sizes smaller on the left or passive needle. This makes the stitches flow back onto the passive needle easily and makes for faster knitting, especially with decreases where you need to knit into two or more stitches. With a 40" cable I can knit a flat afghan in one piece. Using magic loop I can knit a 6 stitch I cord with no problem. To make a hat using a longer cord, just make a loop of the cord at the beginning of each round (kind of half of a magic loop technique), as the rounds get smaller, switch to full magic loop.The whole thing fits in a little pocket container with room for stitch markers and a cable needle. I threw away my straight needles. No more long ends flopping about. No more heavy work to hold up. No more clumsy double points. Knitting with this system is streamlined and tidy with all the weight on the cable, resting in your lap.I have two sets, one in sunstruck (light colored) and one in caspian (darker colored). With a different colored needle in each hand I can tell instantly which direction I should knit (in the round). With a needle that contrasts the color of the yarn on the passive side, it's easier to see the stitches as you're knitting. If you purl tighter then you knit on flats, you can put a larger needle on the active purl side to get a really even knit.This set will literally do anything. I don't use anything else. You can add larger size points that work with the system, or different size cables directly from Knit Picks (sadly, they are a little slow to ship and no Amazon prime 2 day delivery).

I love these!! I have been wanting to find a good set of circular knitting needles but for the longest couldn’t bring myself to pay so much, but I am so glad I decided to give them a try!I’ve only had them for 2 days but I have been using them a lot! These are the Goldie Locks of knitting needles! The metal ones are too slippery, the bamboo ones are too grabby, and these wood ones are just right! Super smooth and feels strong! The yarn just glides nicely over the wood! Also being circular needles the yarn doesn’t catch where the cable joins the metal/wood!! So far not at all!! I would get so aggregated with my plastic ones and then I’d just set my project down.These are a dream! So glad I decided to give them a try. I’d definitely recommend!! They are also very comfortable to hold!I am hoping they hold up! I have a good feeling they will!

I have a bunch of the metal knitting needles and they’re good, they do the job and they’re long enough for all my projects so far but I have heard, from other knitters, that wood ones were even better and I wanted to try them out since I had a lot of times when my work just slipped right off the metal ones. These are fantastic. They’re a beautiful color and quality. I chose the color “Caspian”. They don’t snag, they’re very smooth but they hold the work so it doesn’t slide off when you’re not expecting it. They’re much shorter than the metal needles but they come with the part to make them circular or longer if you use the plastic disk on the end instead of attaching both ends to the needles. There is a little metal key included so when you attach the circular portion you tighten them with the key otherwise they will unscrew constantly as you’re working. These are comfortable to hold and use even for a long time. The tip is very fine so it can get into tight stitches. The little pouch they come in is great for storing and keeping everything organized. There is a good variety of sizes that so far I have always had the size I needed. They have not splintered or cracked. I’m trying to find projects and excuses to knit so I can use them more. I would buy these again if I can find different sizes or if I needed more for any reason. I would also give these as a gift, I’m confident someone else would love these as much as I do.

I am a slightly experienced knitter but seriously needed something sturdier than a bamboo and plastic circular knitting needle. These are the smoothest knitting needles I’ve used and am quite pleased with them. I was so impressed I ordered the regular knitting needles from KnitPicks too. They are beautifully colored and so easy to work with!

These are my first ever set and they are beautiful! I love the smooth and sleek design and that the end caps are metal and not plastic! They are as sharp as clover but the sharpness of the tips do vary. I also like the vibrant colors because they are my favorite. The only issue I had was 1 needle screw being misaligned but customer service was great and they work amazing now! The cords have worked nicely for magic loop and have been very convenient when having to switch the size cords on my project! I think these are really good for me starting out but I have noticed some chipping starting at the base when attaching to the metal of only 1 needle so far, which is inconvenient but still works well enough for me to not replace as of this moment! The case is alright but definitely sturdy vinyl but I have switched it for one given as a gift but I still use it on my spare extra needles!

I’ve purchased a few other cheaper knitting needles sets because I didn’t want to invest too much in the beginning, however I wish I would’ve just bought these first. They’re nicer quality than I expected for the price and the sunstruck option is warmer than the pictures, which is perfect for me. I also like that it goes from 3.5 to 8 mm needles, for this price point that’s a really good range and should cover most beginner projects. The vinyl carrying case is sturdier than it appears in pictures, eliminating the need to purchase a separate case for now. Overall I’m pleased with these needles and happy that I can stop my search.
