Long I am to this set lurking until I've finally bought it. Why? Firstly, the KnitPro Wood needles are currently probably the best on the market. By Multiple layers of wood comes about not only this beautiful colorful rainbow effect of needles, but this wooden needles combine the light weight and smooth knit feel of wood / bamboo needles with the resilience of metal needles (but she smelled at the very beginning a little after this glue but and the color that is lost over time). Anyone with wood - has knitted or bamboo needles is surely knows that these partially bend (some metal needles as well) or simply break (especially normal wooden needles, therefore some knitting games were produced from the outset with 6 instead of 5 needles). These needles have fallen by now a couple of times down and even after long use is not yet bent as my bamboo needles, some of which are already become very crooked. The various Needle Cables, which are combined with all needle sizes, one has almost always the right needles for everything available. The needles in this set there in the thicknesses: 3.5mm, 4.0mm, 4.5mm, 5.0mm, 5.5mm, 6.0mm, 7.0mm, 8.0mm the 4 ropes have the length of 60cm, 80cm, 100cm and 120cm. Each rope respectively a wrench and two stopper (Plastic Caps / Tails) here. The screw needle and needle rope is very clean, because nothing sticks, assuming you really use the supplied wrench to needle and rope firmly screwed together. Just tighten is not recommended because the needle because actually can loosen and then hangs the wool in the screw and is very annoying again herauszupfriemeln there.
So definitely with a wrench tighten the right place! And if times one of the wrench is broken, there are indeed 4 pieces in a set.
The pouch can be supplied in which the needles is unfortunately just simple plastic bag with a zipper on top, nothing in what often duvets are different from the packing packed, that's too bad. So just because this bag is part of it, the set really you need not buy, because you can also pick up individually, which parts you need, which makes its price is little difference, only then you have to stop only to gather together everything and here is all the same together.
A little disadvantage I can only find that the needles run quite pointed, I actually prefer blunter needles. On the one hand, of course, comes with pointed knitting needles better in small and narrow mesh, on the other hand the risk of Wollespießens increases in some types of wool, which can lead to split stitches and the like phenomena, but the can be helped with a little sandpaper when it should really disturbing, I've already arranged me with the points.
The needles have a lifetime warranty and are usually exchanged in handicraft shop easily, but should even a break. The batches of 2013 appear to have partially made problems. From my first needles of 2010 or are all healing, of nachgekauften 2,5er needles with which broken. But since these were easily replaced with new ones, I do not quite care.
