First of all I would like to describe the needles: The bamboo needles are about 13 cm long. By this clear plastic hoses are glued / postponed. The hoses are adapted to the thickness of the needle sizes. When needle size 10mm hose is 5mm thick in diameter. When needles 2,25mm hose is 2mm thick in diameter. The tube is about 54 cm long and remarkably resilient. The size of the needles at each baked on a - which has the advantage that it can not wipe over time. I've knit so far only with the 10mm and 8mm needles. Personally, I am thrilled. Initially confused by the hoses, notice how much easier it is to knit with it as with my old circular needle and the thin tape. He twists not so easy and the wool can be pushed easily. The needle is in itself easily and can be much longer work with it. The bamboo needle itself is crisp and the wool was not hanging. I can not say anything yet because I've only knitted a cap with thick needles especially the smaller needles until now - about the durability and stability. A point (rather half) deduction there by myself, because the glue was not always wiped really clean between the needles and the hoses, but it brings me no harm while knitting. The wool is also due not hang. Conclusion: for the price of me a strong buy recommendation! Seller: SuntekStore Online was, well packaged and supplied in the announced period.
