I was hesitant to buy this set since they are very cheap (pricewise). However, I did the math of how much I would spend getting 15 brand name sets of double pointed needles and decided to give these ones a chance. To my great surprise, the needles are very good. I was afraid of getting coarse needles but on the contrary, this needles are soft and never get your yarn pulled inappropriately. Aesthetically, they are not the best looking needles on earth, but how handsome a bamboo stick can get? This ones are functional, soft to the touch and light. They all come with a laser engraved number, so you always know what are you working with.
The gauge is accurate in most of the needles, and in the very few it was not, the difference was so little that you can rest assured that your project won't get damaged.
The reason why I gave it 4 stars is because they don't feel as sturdy as my Clover needles do, and the smaller ones feel a little weak, but nothing too serious to worry about if you are a careful knitter. I actually would give them 4.5 stars, but that is not possible.
Another good thing to mention is that the seller (Excel Craft) was really fast in the shipping process. So far, from the purchase to the knitting, I am having a great experience with this product.

I used to have to run to the store and get new needles every time I wanted to start a new project. Now I know I will have any size I need to make hats and such. The needles are not the best I've ever used, but they are good enough. I would like the ends to be a bit more polished and smaller. Other than that, they do the job!Best Deals for BrilliantKnitting (BR brand) 15 Sets of 7 inch Double Pointed (DP)
I love these double pointed needles! I hated knitting with DPNs and they were just a necessary evil. Not any more! I really didn't expect much from these, I just needed a variety of sizes for gifts of socks and baby items. I was so surprised when I found that using bamboo takes the pain away from using DPNs! Stitches don't slip off and they are so comfortable to use. I highly recommend this set of needles.Honest reviews on BrilliantKnitting (BR brand) 15 Sets of 7 inch Double Pointed (DP)
When i think about these needles i think about soda. Do you like brand name soda, like Coke or do you like off brand soda? I like both. I like these needles and I also like Clover Needles. Some of the needles have sharp edges which hurt my fingers but the sizes seem to be the same as my Clover Needles. The smaller needles are a little on the flimsy side so you have to be careful when using them. These needles are fantastic for the price. I'd recommend them to my friends!Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for BrilliantKnitting (BR brand) 15 Sets of 7 inch Double Pointed (DP)
I've only used a few of the sets, but they've been great to work with. They aren't as smooth as a lot of other bamboo DPNs that I've used, but tend only to use them for finishing off hats or starting sleeves, so I can't complain too much.There was one needle that seemed to have a slight bow in it, but not enough to really bother me. I knew going into this that I shouldn't expect perfection considering the whole set is about what I've been paying for a single size set from the local yarn shop.
All that said, if you're looking for an economy set and can deal with a little imperfection, the set is great. If you're going to do a lot of DPN work, you may want to consider investing in a more expensive brand, or just buy these to fill the holes in your collection.
