This is a great set at a great pricepoint for a new knitter who wants to knit in the round but doesn’t want to spend a ton of money. That being said, these will not last forever. They may not even last for your entire project. I would avoid these if you are an especially tight knitter. My first project on these (a 2T sweater), the needle separated from the cable halfway through the body. Since then, I “baby” these a bit more by making sure there isn’t stress on the point the cable and needle attach. I can’t speak for the durability of the smaller needles with this set as I typically use 4-6mm for my projects. I do like that the cable is really flexible, especially for working magic loop. I have a set of expensive needles and the cable is really rigid, which makes it hard when casting on smaller projects. Anyways, I would still recommend these, however, you get what you pay for.

Yes, these are cheap. Yes, they can break. Yes, there IS an odor when you first open the bag, and you might have to let them air outside overnight. With all of that said, I still love these things, and no long use any other needles, and I knit OFTEN. What's wonderful about them is that they're cheap enough that you can have several sets, so if you want to start several projects, you'll always have the right needles. And if you want to make some huge circular thing, you'll have enough needles to go all the way around your project. And if you happen to lean on one and break it, oh well, you have others. The bamboo offers just enough friction that you don't need any caps to put on your needle points. After a few rows, they get nicely polished from your wool. If you want the points to be a little sharper, just get out your nail file, and give it a little touch-up. After several year, unfortunately, the tubing will tend to become hard. But again, they're really cheap! I would much rather replace these every few years than be devastated because I broke an expensive Addi Turbo, or something. I like to knit in lots of sizes, so it's great to always have the right size available. To store these, I got a bunch of half-size padded mailers, and cut off the flaps. I wrote the sizes on each envelope, with US, UK, and mm sizes, and I store these in an Ikea file box. Easy to find what I want.

I was very excited about these needles. Yes, they were inexpensive, but the double point needles in this price range were fine. The wood needle tips are very smooth and have a nice point. That part is five stars. The cord joins are well done as well. It's the cords themselves that are the problem. They kink, which slows down the knitting. I have to stop and move the yarn and straighten the cord. That part is where the stars come off. Comfortable and made well, just a kinky cord. I will keep using them, but I will use a drapier/softer yarn. This current project is bulky and has more stiffness, and that exacerbates the kink. I'm hard on my needles, which is why I wanted a less expensive option. If these break, I won't replace them.

I have attempted to use many circular needles as a beginner. The only ones i found usable were Clover brand. and while they are wonderful i believe i payed $15 a pair. I was looking into a full set of circular needles and wasn't quite ready to take that $50+ plunge. I had previously ordered a similar set of Tunisian Hooks and liked them well enough. i wanted to buy two sets so i could do full circular. when i received them it was nothing fancy, but they did come in a zipper bag i am still using as well as stitch markers and things. all the hooks were rubber banded together. non were tangled. the cords are still bent in a u shape from shipping but i havent found an issue. After i received them i peaked at the reviews and found that a few people had trouble with the cords coming off. As a precaution i took a lighter and heated the ends where they connect to the needle. that seemed to not only redistribute the glue but also shrink the plastic slightly and i havent had any issues after about a month of constant use ( if you do this yourself, beware that the plastic melts very quickly and i left cold water running to cool it when it started to get too hot). I have been using a single set of needles and using the magic circle method on mittens. while i think my clover ones are still better, these performed wonderfully. i had very little pulling at seams and don't foresee an issue for beginners.

I needed some extra small circulars and I like bamboo so I disregarded the low reviews... but these were awful! The plastic of the cable is very soft so the slightest pressure causes them to bend and kink at end of the needles. The softness plus the thickness (the cable has about the same diameter as the needles) also makes the yarn very hard to slide along the cable - and I was using a silky bamboo yarn. These are a disaster and I'm returning them.

Very useful, multiple sizes needles
