Some needles are twisted, two or three on the lot, well it's not so bad in itself, but there is a number 7 which is more than the others and it's still disturbing force. I have not tested the finest, but they still seem fragile below the number 3, we'll see. Larger however this is a real treat, wool glides well and he has a good grip. Otherwise delivery time of 17 days is still a bit long, it should be noted that from HONG KONG.
