Bamboo needles are wonderful, but they simply aren't sturdy enough for sock sizes. These metal needles are in sizes that can be hard to find, and the metal ensures they will last without breaking like small-size bamboo needles are wont to do. However, I've deducted one star because while the needles are colored differently for the different sizes, the color differences aren't pronounced enough to see them easily (at least not when you reach my age, lol), and there's no legend to let you know which colors are which sizes.

I have two sizing gauges, and neither one goes below 0, so I ended up using a micrometer (and honestly, how many people actually have one of these???) to measure the two smallest sizes (00 and 000). I have them labeled now, but I really hope I don't lose the labels. I paid a premium to get metal needles (usually, it's the other way around), and have to wonder if it would really be so hard to label the needles themselves, the same way bamboo needles are all labeled. Even if I had to use a magnifying glass to read the print, it would still be faster and easier than getting out the micrometer, reading the small print on that, and then converting that result to millimeters, all so I can convert that result to English needle sizes. I mean... really!

I am really rough on my bamboo needles and I started seeking out metal ones instead.

These fit the bill perfectly. And they are ALMOST perfect. The only thing stopping them from getting a 5 star rating is the fact that you have no idea what size the needles are without measuring. I expected a number to be stamped on them. When I didn't find that I turned to the box they came in and no indication of size there either. They appear to be color coded, so it seemed like one of those two options would have been obvious for the company to do.

I bought these to do some fine knitting for dolls, and although I've only had them a few weeks, they're great! They're color coded so I know which size is which, and the points haven't been snaggy, the yarn slides smoothly along the needles.

A great price for some hard to find needles!

Imagine my surprise when I was looking for one set of 5 double pointed 00 knitting needles and I find a complete set of 5 different sizes all for the price I was expecting to spend for just the one set. Fast shipping-wonderful service.

These are good needles. They are smooth and easy on the hands, with sharp enough tips to grab the yarn easily.
