I have always used straight needles but now find it increasingly painful to knit for long periods. I chose this set as it had the best selection of tips and cables and was beautifully presented in a material case (other manufacturers please take note!) I bought the small bamboo set and was thrilled to find that I can now knit for as long as I like. They are so comfortable to use. I have now bought the large size as well. I can thoroughly recommend them
As I said: good service and good price but also low shipping costs to the Netherlands!
I absolutely love my new knitting set. I have been using the interchangeable needle sets for several years now and have tried many different styles. I do a lot of lace knitting. Sadly arthritis has been trying to spoil this pleasure, but I find that if I stick to the wooden tips, particularly the short ones, I can still carry on. This new HiyaHiya set has a particularly smooth joint so that 2 and 3 ply wool flows more freely.
I used the 8mm with malbrigo rasta yarn and they worked perfectly... Needles are very easily changeable, Very smooth knitting, the point is smooth but still precise. And Kev is very helpfull whenever I make a mistake with my order ;D
I decided on these because of the combination of the bamboo being impregnated to make it stronger and harder and also the swivel connector. The joins are smooth and the tips feel nice in my hands. They may be a bit sticky for some yarns but no problem so far.
Brilliant product and great customer service, thank you! The tips have the best combination of grip and smoothness, and the flexibility of the swivel cable is great. I have written a longer review here: http://chasingcorduroy.wordpress.com/2014/02/14/new-needles/
