I was very surprised to see that I could purchase so many needles for so cheap... I was even more surprised to see when I received them, that they are very high quality needles! I will continue to purchase my needles from this seller! I'm never paying for overprices bamboo needles again! :)

For the price of this product it was absolutely worth purchasing. The smaller needle sizes aren't as sturdy as some of my more expensive pairs. However, it was well worth the cost all in all!Best Deals for Stanwood Needlecraft Carbonized Patina 13" Single Point Bamboo
It looked too good to be true: an entire collection of straight knitting needles for the same price that just a few pairs would cost at the craft store. With some skepticism, I decided to try out these needles. So far, I've been pleased with them. They aren't quite up to the silky smoothness of Takumi Clover bamboo needles, but a little beeswax and rubbing should bring these nearly up to par. These bargain needles are smooth enough that they don't catch on the yarn, and are just the thing for working with slippery fibers such as rayon or "soy silk."Honest reviews on Stanwood Needlecraft Carbonized Patina 13" Single Point Bamboo
I love these needles! I have been knitting on aluminum needles for many years and just last week decided I would give the bamboo a try. Not knowing whether I would like them or not, I decided not to purchase the most expensive ones out there. I saw this set on Amazon and decided they would be a good start for me. I love them! They are so much lighter than my old aluminum ones and much easier to work with. They are light, smooth and seem to be well made. I can't imagine that the expensive ones out there would be any better. So glad I decided to try bamboo!UPDATE: I still like these needles, but have discovered that some of them are slightly bent and not exactly straight ... doesn't affect my knitting, but I would have liked them to be all straight. I have also bought a pair of the Harmony needles from knitpicks and they are wonderful! They have more of a point on the end than these needles, but they are also quite a bit more $$.
SECOND UPDATE: I have now reduced my rating on these needles to 2 stars. Not only are most of the needles warped, some of them also have splintering at the tips and fray the yarn and make it impossible to knit with them. I guess you really do get what you pay for. Going to forget these and continue collecting Harmony needles in the sizes I want.
