As someone who likes to play around with needle size for different projects, this set of circulars has been perfect. My experience shopping at chain crafting stores has always ended with me making another trip back to grab the next size up/down of needles, adding another $5-$10 to my projects. Buying a set like this solves this issue, and I'm very happy with this purchase.Before ordering, I was worried that the low price might be reflected in quality (i.e. attachment point strength, bamboo integrity), but after using the size 9's for a blanket project, I'm confident the plastic-bamboo attachment is sturdy enough to last quite a while. Additionally, the bamboo seems very standard for wooden needle quality and I have not seen/felt any splinters/cracks.As I mentioned above, having a set of US 0's to 15's (2mm-10mm) really makes picking out yarn for experimental projects a lot more fun - no need to worry if you have the right size needles as long as they fall into that range. And if you're the type that gauges seriously, having the sizes above and below what the pattern/yarn calls for is very convenient as well as cost-effective.The "extras":The carrying case is a thin, semi-opaque white zip-lock bag and does the job of holding the needles without any extra fluff. It's not oversized, which I like, but it's not too tight to where I couldn't throw a few crochet hooks in it if I wanted to.There is an extra little bag of stitch markers, a cloth tape measure, some yarn needles, scissors, and a crochet hook. They are in their own resealable baggie, which is great because it keeps them from getting tangled up in the knitting needles. The tape measure goes up to 60 in.The conclusion:I would definitely recommend this product based on the value and quality of the knitting needles. The extras are nice, but most people that knit have the majority of them anyway. If you're brand new to knitting, this is a great product to start with because of it's low price point and variety of needles.

Yes, these are cheap. Yes, they can break. Yes, there IS an odor when you first open the bag, and you might have to let them air outside overnight. With all of that said, I still love these things, and no long use any other needles, and I knit OFTEN.What's wonderful about them is that they're cheap enough that you can have several sets, so if you want to start several projects, you'll always have the right needles. And if you want to make some huge circular thing, you'll have enough needles to go all the way around your project. And if you happen to lean on one and break it, oh well, you have others.The bamboo offers just enough friction that you don't need any caps to put on your needle points. After a few rows, they get nicely polished from your wool. If you want the points to be a little sharper, just get out your nail file, and give it a little touch-up.After several year, unfortunately, the tubing will tend to become hard. But again, they're really cheap! I would much rather replace these every few years than be devastated because I broke an expensive Addi Turbo, or something. I like to knit in lots of sizes, so it's great to always have the right size available.To store these, I got a bunch of half-size padded mailers, and cut off the flaps. I wrote the sizes on each envelope, with US, UK, and mm sizes, and I store these in an Ikea file box. Easy to find what I want.

Love them, but they are not as durable they tend to pull apart while just transferring your work back and forth.

This is the PERFECT set to purchase if you are new to knitting and looking to build your collection. Comparatively, you can get this same set of 18 needles PLUS an accessory bag for the same price you would pay for a single pair of needles at a craft store. It's an absolute deal if you're looking to get a bunch of different sizes and are building a collection.The sizes are printed on the needles (mm) and the cords come in different colors to easily differentiate them. I've done about 3 projects with the larger needles so far and have found them easy to use. Additionally, I've come to realize how much EASIER it is to knit using these bamboo needles compared to my old metal ones. It allows the yarn to slide off a lot easier.The only other aspects worth mentioning is all of the cords are the same length (good for making scarves). So if you're looking to make a smaller headband or a larger blanket, you'll have to finagle the length around the cord a bit. Additionally, the smaller needle sizes seem a bit fragile (although I admittedly have not used them yet in a project).Highly recommend this product, especially for beginning knitters!

I was very excited about these needles. Yes, they were inexpensive, but the double point needles in this price range were fine. The wood needle tips are very smooth and have a nice point. That part is five stars. The cord joins are well done as well. It's the cords themselves that are the problem. They kink, which slows down the knitting. I have to stop and move the yarn and straighten the cord. That part is where the stars come off. Comfortable and made well, just a kinky cord. I will keep using them, but I will use a drapier/softer yarn. This current project is bulky and has more stiffness, and that exacerbates the kink. I'm hard on my needles, which is why I wanted a less expensive option. If these break, I won't replace them.

These knitting needles are great. They are comfortable, slide easily through the yarn, and are lightweight. I will purchase them again and recommend them.

I wanted to love this product, bamboo needles are fantastic- however the cording holding the needles together is cheap and has ripped off, of several needles. I haven’t even finished a project and they broke. The set did come with extras, which was appreciated. But they should last, and not break. Very disappointed.
