Knitter's PrideNova Platina Double Pointed Needles Set 5", Socks Kit

Nice set. Good quality. The 5 inchers are a bit hard to get used to however. Personal preference I am sure!!

Love these 5" needles much better than 6" for small projects like mitts and socks. Want to order some individual sets of larger sizes in the 5".

Item was as described and arrived on time

Update: I was so confused about the poor quality of these that I went to a yarn store to check them out. I couldn’t believe they are the same brand! They looked like different needles. The authentic Knitter’s Pride needles from a yarn store are all the same length and have perfect and identical tips. They don’t bend, they are straight, and the size stamp on the needle is tiny and doesn’t snag the yarn. They are also about $15 more for the set.Here is my original review: the length is right for knitting socks. I find the 6 inch needles too long and 4 inch too short, yet it’s very difficult to find good metal needles in this length. This is, however, where the positives end. I’m almost wondering - are these authentic needles from this brand? The tips are sloppy and each is different. Some needles are longer than other by a noticible amount. The size that’s etched in large letters in the middle catches the yarn, so you have to force the yarn down the needle, which is so soft that it bends easily. The needles are already bent slightly as if they were made of wood. Even though they are 1 inch shorter, they are heavier than my 6 inch needles from another brand. These will do the job, but you do get what you pay for.

I use 5 needles to make my socks and these needles are 5 inches. They are perfect. The ends are not to sharp and not to round. The yarn glides nicely without it being to slick. The ends won’t stab you but can do complicated stitches easily. Very nice set. They are not aluminum so they are a tiny bit heavier but at 5 inches they are fine. I definitely recommend these needles.

I've been using these knitting needles for a few months and I really like them. They are the right length for making baby-size socks, hats, mittens and other very small projects. They're handy to take in a bag or purse. The finish is smooth and the tips are reasonably pointed but not enough to be dangerous to my toddlers. The one con is that the smaller sizes bend easily and I think I might have to replace them after a few more projects.

These are wonderful DPNs. I wanted to learn how to knit socks and I knew I wanted short metal needles. This set fit the bill perfectly. The metal is a bit soft, so they can bend, but they aren’t flimsy. Yarn glides smoothly over the needles. I have been very pleased with this set.

I bought these used. The needles would have been wonderful, if they were new. But they were a bit scuffed up and scratched. I don't think I want to buy needles second hand again, especially over the internet where I can't inspect them. Only new needles from now on. The needles are usable though, just not as smooth and pretty as I like.

super agréable de tricoter avec ces broches

Me gusto mucho este articulo, estoy tejiendo calcetas con ellas, tenia reservas por que al ser metálicas temía que se salieran los puntos pero los puntos se quedan en su sitio. Al ser de 5 pulgadas no ocupan mucho espacio, las recomiendo.
