Knitters Pride KP140303 Zing Double Pointed Needles Set-Socks Kit, Multi

Perfect for my sock knitting projects

I bought this set in order to help me knit socks. My only complaint is that size 4 DPNs were not included in the set and some knitting patterns do call for that size often enough to warrant their inclusion in a set specifically designated as a sock set. Other than that I like the different needle colors - much easier to grab the correct color needle than sorting through seemingly identical needles to find the right one! The best and most unusual feature of this set is the case in which the needles are stored. It’s a nice, sturdy, attractive zipper case - so convenient to keep track of all those tiny needles!

Knocked off 1 star because the tips aren’t very sharp. You might prefer a more blunt tip. In these sizes, I’m using them to make socks and I prefer a sharper point

The needles appear to be fine but the case has a terrible chemical smell to it. I was really happy that this set came with a case but the case smells so bad, I am going to have to throw it out and buy a separate case to put the needles in.

I really like this set. It has all the needles needed for socks. I am a beginner at sock knitting so I’m still a little awkward holding the needles.

Zing is a new needle collection from one of my favorite brands in everything knitting, Knitter’s Pride. Really nice feel on these dpn’s, just enough “slip” to let yarn flow smoothly, but enough”grip” to not lose stitches. As usual for KP sets, the case was well made. Plus Amazon’s price was 10-15% less than others.

These are beautiful needles and great for sock knitting ( one of my favorite activities). These needles are smooth and there is absolutely no gap or disruption between the sliver tip and the rest of needle. Also, while the smoothness of these needles allow for fast knitting, stitches do not fall off the needle. In other words, these needles afford for a nice balance between speed and security, while knitting. These needles are now among my favorites and I highly recommend these needles.

Loving my knitters pride double point needles. Was concerned because the look almost as though the points have been cut to blunt, but they slide lovely, no snagging. Nice product.

This is a nice collection of metal needles. They are smooth and easy to work with. Case is zippered so everything stays inside even when carried in a bag with my current project.

I have some similar KP needles (interchangeable) where the join from the tip to the body is not very smooth but it is not an issue with these. They are also pretty “grippy”. DPNs are not easy for ANY beginner but these would help a beginner.
