PrymErgonomics 8-Inch Double-Point Knitting Needle, Size 7 (5-Pack)

Ok I took these out of the packaging and thought “Ewww - plastic? What is this stuff?” Well these needles are AWESOME and I’m not sure why. They’re made out of some kind of man made material - which aesthetically is a turn-off - but they are wonderful to use. I’ve started a pair of socks, toe up, and the increases are super easy. The stitches slide along well without being too slick or too sticky, and that little rounded nub at the end is genius. It picks up stitches without splitting and prevents dropped stitches. Someone below said to file it off with an emery board - DON’T!! That’s part of the design. I tend to use my fingertip to advance stitches (continental) and I don’t get finger stick with these. They’re also a little bendy which is surprisingly nice. They’re white so they would be great for dark colored yarn.Technically, re. the material they’re made of, I’m not sure why these work so well but they do. I love beautiful wood needles like Lykke and in metal, I have several Addi and Karbonz sets, but for comfort and ease of use, these win hands down. The only thing I don’t like is that they are 8”/20 cm double points and are a little too long to work socks without being fiddly. It’s a good length for hats but I like 6” needles for socks. I can’t seem to figure out whether they make them in 6” lengths. So far Amazon is the only retailer I can find in the US and they only seem to carry 8” dpns - but if they make them in 6” lengths, I would buy a whole set.

Incredible design features that make for pleasurable knitting with great results. Some have complained about plastic, but it is the ideal material, lightweight, warm to the touch, and the perfect surface, the stitches glide on but there is enough grab that they don't fall off the dpns. The tip gets into all pattern stitches like a dream and because the stitch size is formed on the shaft and not the tip, the sizing is right. The shape is wonderful on the hands, who would have thought of a triangular cross section except a genius! This company makes some needles that are rare finds I have acquired in the past and cherished. When I saw the brand name, I didn't hesitate to try them and am so glad I did. I will definitely replace all my old needles with these.

I absolutely love these! They came in the mail two days ago and I transferred my project on circulars to these. After using them for about four hours total, I can say with confidence that I never want to use other needles again. The flexibility makes them sit so comfortably, whereas gripping aluminum ones I can feel the inflexibility. These are made of some type of plastic that I’ve never seen with knitting needles, but they are really lightweight and have a slip-ability somewhere between metal and bamboo which works well for me. The little bulb shape at the point is so helpful!! It keeps stitches from slipping off when moving my project around and is easier than I thought to work with; in fact, it’s almost impossible to split my yarn now. I guess a downside to these is they could potentially snap in half much easier than other needles, but with all the pros and the affordability of them I’ll take that as it comes. I would definitely recommend these and will personally be working on slowly replacing my old stash with these!!!Note that I remembered - I should say they were packaged abysmally; had clearly been opened before, maybe returned and not repackage correctly, and were rolling around in the box with no sort of package to keep them from falling out. They’re still all there and in great shape though.

They were a very good purchase. I am very happy with them. These are the best double pointed I have ever used. The stitches don’t slide off the needle so you don’t lead to any drop any stitches. They are well worth the price I paid.

and would have given them 5 stars but for two things: they need to come in a shorter length, and in a package that provides storage. My first project with them is a pair of gloves. My hands are full of aches and pains, and these needles feel really good -- but they are just too long. The plastic has just enough flex, and the rounded tips are great. But they come in a lightweight cardboard box with an open "window" in the front -- just not going to be usable as storage. And that further complicates the fact that the smallest sizes are not labeled with their size. So there is no way to keep them together OR identify them by sight. Please, Prym -- even a heavy paper sleeve would be better than nothing! Looking forward to trying your circulars.

They work well, the tips pick up stitches better than the traditional needles. The shape is easier for fingers.

I've been knitting for over 50 years and have tried every brand, material, and style of knitting needle on the market manufactured in over half a dozen countries. I'm a fast Continental knitter, holding the yarn on my left hand, and my favorite was Addi Turbo's because of their speed. These needles just blew me away. They are by far the most comfortable, fastest, and easiest to use I've ever tried. It's as if they systematically identified every frustration knitters experience and set out to eliminate every one of them. And they succeeded! The needles feel light, flexible, and warm in the hand. There's a very slight texture so they grip the yarn like wooden needles, but the narrower shaft makes the stitches flow easily and quickly without tugging. The ball tips means it's much harder to split stitches, even with loosely twisted yarns, but I had no trouble digging into even the tightest spots. I love the slight flex to them, which seems to reduce fatigue considerably. Or perhaps it's the innovative triangular shaft. Whatever it is, these are the best and most comfortable needles I've ever owned, bar none. Highly recommended.

These needles have an exaggerated point which makes them very easy to work with in tight situations. I have not seen these before and really liked them.

No me gustó! No está hecha de plástico rígido sino de un material que se mueve y dobla mientras estás tejiendo. No las regresé porque necesitaba usarlas urgentemente para tejer el cordón de un gorro de bebé, pero para mis necesidades no funcionan yo preferiría que fueran rígidas. Tal vez están hechas con ese material porque se usan para otra cosa diferente a lo que yo las usé.

They are expensive but after purchasing one set with the teardrop points I highly recommend them! Fewer dropped stitches and more comfortable than the metal knitting needles. Price might deter most people but if you can get them on sale definitely give them a try!

The needles were amazing but these were an absolute pain to buy. The poor box design allowed for needles to easily fall out of the box if the people that package them were not being careful packaging them. Which they were not! I ordered 3 different sizes and all but one box came missing one to two needles. These rendered the needles useless as they are double pointed needles and you need all of them for knitting in the round. Ugg. What a pain to keep calling Amazon to fix it. But the did fix it eventually and now I'm happy.
