I ordered the 15 needle set of 60 inch circular knitting needles. When they arrived, there were only 9 sets in the order, sizes US 6 15. Sizes 0 5 were missing. I contacted Paramount Goods and was extremely pleased with their customer service. I was told that this problem would be looked into and shortly after, I received an email stating that the missing sets would be shipped that day. At another time, I ordered a 15 set of single point needles and the #7 set was not straight. I contacted Paramount and was promptly sent a new, free set of #7s. The needles in both sets are very nice, smooth and feel good in your hands and an exceptional value for the money. I don't use all the sizes often and didn't want to spend a lot of money for a size I may use only one or two times. I generally have 4 or more projects going at a time and I now know that I have extra needles on hand. The customer service, in my case, was excellent. If the need arises, I will certainly buy from this seller again. I belong to 3 knitting groups and I have already sung the praises to my fellow knitters.

These needles can't be beat, especially at this price! The joins are smooth, the needles feel nice in my hands and I love the cords. They uncoil to perfection right out of the package, and I love that the cords get thicker as the size gets bigger. I may put my Denise needle set up for sale!

These are absolutely perfect for large knitting projects. I'm currently using the #15s to make an afghan that will be at least 60" wide. I love how the cable doesn't stay twisted up when you remove them from the package! They do smell a little funny when you first open them, but the smell goes away after a few days.

EDIT:

I don't like them as much as I thought I did ever since I discovered the hard way that some of the pairs are less durable than others. The #15s are great, as are the #11s and #13s, but the #10.5s broke while I was using them. It was a very frustrating experience which caused me to drop at least twenty stitches. Thankfully I was able to pick them up. The #8s will not work unless I superglue the cable back on to one of the needles, but at least I discovered the defect before I tried to use them for a project. I have yet to try any of the others, but I'm sure it's all the same, the pairs are either great and work well or defective and break easily. But I still think it's a good deal, because I have at least three functional pairs for the price of two. Circulars this long usually cost at least $12 a pair.

Honest reviews on Premium Collection 60 Inch Circular Bamboo Knitting Needles (9 Sets)

Would have given 5 stars but there is a definite odor when you first take these out of the plastic. Hope it goes away in time. Now the good news: very flexible, easy to use. I'm using these to make a mobius (look up Cat Bordhi's magical knitting books). Finished my first mobius--came out great. Even longer than I anticipated, and that's a good thing! I'll be able to use these needles to knit mobius wraps. That's sort of a shawl that stays put! Very pleased with these needles.

I was very impressed with the selection of sizes and the price. After using 4 of the larger sizes for several marathon projects I felt they held up reasonably well. The transition point from the tube to the bamboo needle is not even and smooth so you feel resistance when sliding your work around the needles. After a while the tube came apart from the stub of the bamboo. These are pressure fitted not glued so I snipped a tiny bit off, shoved it back on the stub and went right on with my knitting without a problem. I also took an emery board and fine grit sandpaper to the bamboo to decrease the high spots. A bit of candle wax rubbed onto the bamboo aids the slide factor of a new needle.
