LIHAO 36 PCS Bamboo Knitting Needles Set (18 Sizes From 2.0mm to 10.0mm)

Extremely high quality with a below budget price!!!

I am pleasantly surprised to see that each pair are individually wrapped, though I supposed that only makes sense, so you don't have to go through and measure each of the smaller ones to match them because it gets fairly hard to distinguish some of the sizes. If they do become mixed up once they are open, they are conveniently marked with their size in millimeters. They are of nice quality and come exactly as described. While I do not think I could successfully use the very thin needles without breaking them and I would purchase steel knitting needles for those sizes, I don't hold that against this review because, as I said, they came in EXACTLY as they were described on Amazon. Included in the package is a useful little card that has rulers on two (2) of its sides. One side is measured in inches, up to 6, and the other side is in centimeters, up to 15. Down the center of the card, it gives you a list of three (3) different measurements used for knitting needle sizes. It has millimeters (mm), US sizes 0-15 gauge, and a measurement listed as GWR from 00-14 which I am unfamiliar with.

As an avid knitter, I’m always on the lookout for good quality needles without breaking the bank, and I’m pleased to say that this 30 piiece bamboo knitting needles set hits the mark for affordability and functionality. Quality: The bamboo material feels smooth to the touch and provides a decent amount of grip on the yarn, making it easy to work with various types of wool. While not as polished or premium as higher-end needles, they do the job well. The bamboo is lightweight, which reduces hand strain during longer knitting sessions. That said, they could be a little smoother, but for the price, the quality is solid. Variety: This set includes a great range of sizes, from small needles for delicate projects to larger ones for thicker yarn. The variety makes it easy to experiment with different yarn weights and patterns, and I love having so many options in one set. Affordability: At such a low price point, I wasn't expecting professional-level quality, but I was pleasantly surprised. For a beginner or casual knitter, this set is fantastic—offering good value without a hefty price tag. The needles are certainly more than capable for everyday knitting projects. Durability: I’ve used them for several weeks now, and they’ve held up quite well. Bamboo is known for being a bit more delicate than metal, so I do handle them with care, but I’ve had no issues with breakage or bending so far. Comfort: I also favor these over the common needles made with aluminum and nickel, which tends to leave my fingers and hands tingling and numb after using for any extended length of time. Downsides: The main drawback is that the needle caps can sometimes feel a little loose or uneven, which could cause minor issues if you’re working on very fine projects. Also, while they’re generally smooth, a few of the needles have a slight roughness on the shaft, which could cause some yarn catching. Overall: For the price, this set of bamboo knitting needles is a great choice. They’re lightweight, functional, and offer a great selection of sizes. While they may not compare to high-end brands, they perform well for casual knitters and beginners. If you’re looking for a budget-friendly set of needles, I’d definitely recommend giving these a try!

I used these for a few projects and they’re durable. I love the tension it creates with the yarn. For the price it’s definitely worth 38 different sizes. Very lightweight on the hands, they appear the same as the pictures and there is a variety of sizes and perfect for so many projects.

The needles exceed my 50+ year expectations for knitting tools and are an excellent value. The collection is inclusive of a gauge measurement card and a sturdy carry bag. Yarn glide is superb, and the tips’ sharpness is milled perfection. *No warped needles ! * Worthwhile investment in the everyday yarn crafting experience.

I just started knitting and wanted to buy a complete set of needles since I kept needing different sizes. These were nice and smooth and easy to use. I'm a bit surprised at the quality. The head of one of the smaller needles fell off, but to be honest I might have sat on it. I used a dab of super glue and it was good as new. I have a pair of "brand name" needles and to be honest it's hard to tell the difference between them. Random tip that I did, I took a set of paint pens and colored the nubs of each head to differentiate the sizes. It applied nicely, and now I can grab the correct size at a glance.

I was very happy when my order arrived matching the descriptions of good reviews rather than the bad ones. XD I'm a relative newbie to knitting having completed just a scarf and some dishcloths on other wood needles. I needed 10mm (US 15) needles to make a hat and they worked beautifully! Now I'm also using them to make another scarf. I've also used the 4.5mm (US 7) needles to continue making a dishcloth. There are a lot of smaller needle sizes in this set which aren't so great for beginners, but I look forward to using them in the future when I gain more experience. I'm hoping they don't break, but they feel solid enough for now! As long as your knitting tension isn't too tight, you should be fine. I gave this set 4 stars for beginners only because there are so many smaller sizes that might be more difficult for beginners to use at first. I made the mistake of not paying much attention to the length of the needles. I haven't had a problem fitting my stitches on the needle but if you have a larger project, you may want to opt for circular needles. Just take out a ruler and make sure 9" is long enough for your liking. They also may have a little bow in them but it isn't an impediment to your knitting. I love that each needle has its size marked on it and they measure true to size! I would highly recommend these if you're looking for multiple sizes to begin your knitting journey with!

I am new to knitting and was looking for a cheap option of needles to get me started. You do get a lot for your money but some were written on the ends with what looks like black permanent marker, one was missing and one was broken.

I was surprised at how small they are, wouldn't be suitable for larger Items. Pity really. Limited to what I could use the for. Plus I dislike the feel of them. I have never used them before and it's like chalk on a blackboard. Not sure if I'll get much use out of them.

These needles are good quality at a very affordable price. Very happy with this purchase.

Please DO NOT buy this product. Return is a problem. The quality is not upto the mark

Great for beginners sturdy and not too slippery

LIHAO 36 PCS Bambou bon. Je donne 4 étoile parce que le bout d'une aiguille c'est découlé dès l'utilisation. Si la solidité de l'article pouvait être amélioré, se serait mieux.
