5.0 out of 5 stars Great, low-priced needles
I was very surprised to see that I could purchase so many needles for so cheap... I was even more surprised to see when I received them, that they are very high quality needles! I will continue to purchase my needles from this seller! I'm never paying for overprices bamboo needles again! :)

2.0 out of 5 stars not as high quality as clover
I loved the price and span of needles but these are NOT as high quality as the Clover Bamboo needles I have, they are not as smooth by far, and my #6 set has BENT after my first project!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome for the price, April 1, 2008

This review is from: Carbonized Patina 13" Single Point Bamboo Knitting Needles 14 Sizes
For the price of this product it was absolutely worth purchasing. The smaller needle sizes aren't as sturdy as some of my more expensive pairs. However, it was well worth the cost all in all!

4.0 out of 5 stars Good quality for a bargain price, January 13, 2009
This review is from: Carbonized Patina 13" Single Point Bamboo Knitting Needles 14 Sizes
It looked too good to be true: an entire collection of straight knitting needles for the same price that just a few pairs would cost at the craft store. With some skepticism, I decided to try out these needles. So far, I've been pleased with them. They aren't quite up to the silky smoothness of Takumi Clover bamboo needles, but a little beeswax and rubbing should bring these nearly up to par. These bargain needles are smooth enough that they don't catch on the yarn, and are just the thing for working with slippery fibers such as rayon or "soy silk."

Excellent product for an excellent price. I'm a new knitter and didn't want to spend a lot of money on a whole collection of needles. I saw this set and decided to give it a go. As far as I can tell, these needles are as good a quality as other name brand higher-priced bamboo needles. Good deal.

I do not knit but my mother does. I bought two sets of bamboo needles for her for Christmas and made a carrying case for them. She loves them and uses them constantly. She says she likes how unlike metal and plastic needles the yarn does not slide off as easily.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice, simple and great value, January 29, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Carbonized Patina 13" Single Point Bamboo Knitting Needles 14 Sizes
I took a chance on this set because being a beginner I thought it ridiculous at the amount of money required to build a collection of knitting needles. They appear sturdy and smooth. My only irritation was how they were packaged - each pair of needles were encased in plastic. I thought it was wasteful. And the lowest needle size is a 1. I'd recommend for people who just want to knit and want to save their money for great yarn and not spend it on the needles.

This review is from: Carbonized Patina 13" Single Point Bamboo Knitting Needles 14 Sizes
I purchased these bamboo knitting needles for my mom's birthday. She has been knitting for a year or so and I had heard her mention before that she read that bamboo needles were much better to use for knitting rather than metal needles. So I found this product and gave them to her a few months ago when her birthday came around.

She loves them and and has said many times how much easier it is using this type versus the metals ones she used to use.

The shipping was very timely and the quality of the needles are excellent. I will definitely keep this company on my favorites so that I can purchase from them in the future.

This review is from: Carbonized Patina 13" Single Point Bamboo Knitting Needles 14 Sizes
I was so excited to find these needles on Amazon. I just began knitting and had my mom's old metal needles but I kept dropping stitches and was really struggling. I kept going to craft stores with my 40%-50% off coupons but they never sold bamboo needles in a set and I could never decide which size to buy (I am new to this and had no idea what was the most common size that was used)so I never bought any.

I started using these the day I got them. I love them. The only reason I give them 4 out of 5 stars is because the end keeps catching on my yarn as I'm knitting and because one of my size 7 needles is bent. I was a little bummed when I noticed that. I haven't checked the other needles. I hope they're not bent like the one's I'm using are.

But again, they're still excellent for the price. I would highly recommend this for any beginner trying to build up their collection. Even with the bent one, I still love them.

This review is from: Carbonized Patina 13" Single Point Bamboo Knitting Needles 14 Sizes
Just received mine, the smaller needles are VERY flimsy feeling-I feel like I'm using a toothpick for sizes 1-6. The rest seem to be fine.

I only had a small budget and these will do what I need them to do. When my budget expands, I'll replace these-but for now-they're fine.
