I am absolutely satisfied with the knitting needles. Have also considered long back and forth whether I should buy my set and then decided to do it. I have not looked back. The needles are well packaged, the ropes again individually in sachets. The changing of the ropes is not a problem. There is also a pictorial and written instructions to change in the course is very good. I just knit a cap so that the ropes are stable and yet flexible. The needles are very comfortable to hold and the best, of course, the pointed tips. Originally I bought the needles of Knitpro because I knitted a patent pattern and the right tog would almost desperate, because my normal needles were simply too dull for that. With the pointed wooden needles no problem. I find the supplied bag very convenient, there are small compartments for needle pairs in it, plus a little extra pocket with button for the ropes. There is also plenty of room for my other Needles and crochet hooks kept in it. What I will, however, buy me, the template is with which one can determine the needle size as the printed numbers disappear slowly but surely during use. All in all - highly recommended the right decision and!
