Knitter's Pride-Karbonz Double Pointed Needles Set, Socks Kit

Huge fan of this set. I broke a wooden DPN by mistake, and I was curious about these needles anyway, so I figured that was the sign I needed to grab these. The yarn doesn't slip much more than on a polished wood needle, and the points are nice & sharp.

Very sharp points Fabric is not slippery on them.

Light weight, Stiches stay on the needles, quiet,

They are very light and NOT slippery. Perfect for knitting socks on slippery yarn.

Arrive sooner then delivery date. A Christmas gift to myself. Will use needles to make socks. I have bought one pair of needles a couple years ago and they were very comfortable to work with.

I've used these needles for two pairs of socks and really enjoy working with them. The join between the tip and the rest of the body is not completely seamless but it's not something that bothers me too much or would stop me from recommending them.

After snapping a bunch of wooden dpns, I bought these on a whim. So glad I did! They’re great, knit smoothly, and come in a great case.

These are my first DPNs, so I have nothing to compare to, but overall I really like these. I have not had any problems with needles sliding out of the stitches, but the stitches also move smoothly across the needles. For circular needles, I definitely prefer metal because I like for the stitches to slide very easily. I HATE bamboo for most knitting. I think these Karbonz are the perfect compromise between the two for DPNs, which I do not want to be as slippery as my circular needles.My primary complaint, though, is that some of the joins between the metal tips and the shaft of the needle are not very flush. It's not enough for yarn to actually snag on, but it's enough that I notice it when sliding my stitches across that transition. Also, after finishing only one project on one of the sets, the needle sizes that are printed on the needles have already rubbed off significantly. I think after 2 or 3 more uses, they'll be unreadable. I wish they had been etched on somehow. That's not a dealbreaker, especially because the case they come in is pretty nice and keeps the sizes separated well, but it is annoying.

Love this set. Always quality Karbonz, and all the choices for almost all your double point needs. Now you can truly get the correct gauge. Buying them individually would have been very expensive and I love that they are all in one case.

Ha llegado todo en perfecto estado y a tiempo y eran los números de agujas que necesitaba ya que la homónima española, Kitpro, no hace este kit con esos números, ya que en españa somos menos dados a usar cuartos de número

After watching some reviews in Knitters' Pride Karbonz needles, I've decided to take the plunge as it's best overall DPNs since it doesn't feel cold like metallic needles but it is sturdier than wooden needles. Especially the ones in smaller sizes. The wooden ones tend to be fragile but the Karbonz is very firm and sturdy and the yarn doesn't slip off that easily. The needle tips are sharp enough for lace knitting as well.Edit after further using:Really dislike the metal tips as the finishing came off after some use when the needles rub against each other, causing a rough surface on the tips. This happens to both my Karbonz DPNs and Interchangeable Circular Knitting set. Quite disappointed.

After knitting with bamboo needles for years which easily break and splinter I was looking for an alternative. Theses needles are lightweight and comfortable in my hands. I am happy with them.

Perfect sock needles especially on the go. Don’t have to worry about the needles breaking from travelling. The tips are nice and slick and the body holds the yarn in place so the needles do not fall right off the stitches onto the floor like they do for me with full nickel plated brass dpns
