Knitter's Pride KP200608 Dreamz Deluxe Special Interchangeable Needles Set

I LOVE these needles. I've only had them for about a month, but I've really put them through their paces. The needles themselves: The wood is obviously a high quality (rumor is that it's the same wood used in the KnitPicks Harmony needles, and from my experience with both, I would have to agree). The stain isn't always applied evenly, but I think that's more a reflection on the absorption of the wood. They have a little bit of flex to them, but not too much. Just the right amount of "give" for my liking. The metal tips are all threaded well, I haven't had any joining issues, and they've held up to a lot of screwing and unscrewing as I've switched between cable lengths. The tips are compatible with KnitPicks cables (yay!) The cables: Are pretty much the exact same as KnitPicks cables, minus the distracting colors. I like the plain black so much better! My brightly colored yarns just stand out against them, rather than clashing with them, which makes counting stitches a lot easier. Their ends, like the tips, are all threaded properly. The case: Bland-looking, but SO much more functional for me than the KnitPicks case. Plus, it's much more compact, which makes it very purse/knitting back friendly. The bits and pieces: The joiners are made from pretty strong metal, so no issues with them bending when tightening my cables to the tips. The end caps are just as well made as the cables and needles, no issues there (except for that one time I spaced out and tried to "righty-loosey", but that was user error). The markers I don't really use, but they're all there and no defects are present. They're pieces of plastic, so as long as they're properly made, you can't really go wrong on that front.

This is my favorite small wooden needle set. And I’m a bit obsessed with knitting needle sets! Smooth trips and nice transitions to the cords. Perfect for hats, sweater necks, sleeve caps.

These are a lot smaller than I expected, but I am very pleased with the size. Attached to the short cables, they are perfect for hat knitting. I purchase 4 other cord lengths to go with them and it greatly extends their usefulness. The tip size selection are the sizes I most commonly use. I decided to go with the short tip set because I could purchase more long cords and had a hard time finding the short ones like this set has. I am upgrading from a Boye set that I learned to knit on. I ended up paying about the same (the Boye set has more needles though), but the quality of the Dreamz is so much better. The joins seem to tighten easily and nearly seemlessly. I had issues with the Boye set coming loose in the middle of knitting (dropped stitches a couple times) and leaving a rough spot that the yarn would snag on. The Boye cords were also very thick, not flexible, and held a lot of memory. The Dreamz set is very flexible and doesn't seem to hold memory, which is my largest issue with the Boy set. I can not imagine doing the magic loop method in the Boye set, but I do not anticipate it being an issue with the Dreamz. I also think this set is the most flexible and may be one of the best knitting investments I have made in a while. I can always purchase additional tips for knitting bulky yarns or sock yarns to expand this small set. Even my none knitter was impressed by this small set when I showed him the difference between what I had been using and this set. I'm glad I made the investment. Already have a shawl WIP on the set (using a longer cord that I purchased for under $3). Loving it!

I absolutely DISLIKE this needle set. Some of my needles (us 7 and us 6) don't fit with the cable. It won't screw in all the way, leaving gaps in between. Make sure they all fit into every cable that comes with the set so you can return on time. I had to buy this before going to korea so I couldn't test it out. Second the cables aren't smooth so sensitive yarn materials like bamboo and cotton blend won't glide as smoothly over the cable where it is joined with the metal part of the cable. It won't glide. It's so rough!! It's very frustrating as a seasoned knitter that I have to pull hard to make the yarns come up to the needles. I can't knit fast and it messes with my rhythm. Just make sure all of them fit and glides smoothly before fully keeping the set. I need another set and by no means, is this a cheap set. Also, as you're knitting, it will unscrew every so often. Just be wary of that as you can have stitches come undone. I tighten it with the metal pin that comes with it and still loosens... It's pretty pricey for the quality.. If you can, chiagoo sets are very well made...

I have a pretty big collection of knitting needles, especially circular needles. When winter hits, I have found myself having a great time making hats and gloves. The only problem I ran into again and again was that my needles were too big even with my smallest cord to start a rasta hat no matter how hard I tried. I saw this collection of needles and got it right away. I am SO glad I did! This set of needles has been invaluable for making hats, small areas such as armholes, or when doing modular knitting of small pieces. They work great. I love the case. It is handy, everything has a place, it is easy to store and flat, yet you can see all of the needles inside. There is a pocket for the cords and if you want to store with the cords attached, there is plenty of room for that too. It zips shut which I also love. These needles are similar to my knit picks needles which I love also, yet I can do smaller things and that is thrilling for me. Making hats is now much faster and easier with these. I don't have to use double pointed needles if I don't want to unless I am finishing REALLY small places.

These needles are lovely. Very nice, smooth joins to the metal base. They are short tips - something I didn't realize because I ordered so quickly. I was especially pleased to see the needle size engraved into the metal base The thread on one of the cables is defective so that you cannot screw a tip on all the way. The cables for this set are very short but adequate for making hats or scarves. The good news is that the tips fit the cables I already have from a similar set I ordered from KnitPicks! If I were to compare quality of these to KnitPicks, I would say that these are maybe a half star nicer. For now I'm a happy knitter despite the bad cable.

Can’t beat knitters pride for quality and value. I initially purchased the Tunisian hooks and was so impressed. When I decided to take a go at knitting, I was torn between other popular brands. These won out for a few reasons. None of my cons are a reflection on the seller. Still I’m reviewing both seller and product so seller 5 ⭐️. Product 4.5 ⭐️ Pros- I love the smooth stitching with the wood. Much easier to control stitches as a beginner than the metal. This goes for both Tunisian and Knitting. While I prefer my metal Susan Bates for standard crochet-man those are work horses-the knitters pride are just so buttery smooth. It’s an indulgence I can’t explain. Since I already had the KP Tunisian hooks and cables, it was a bonus that I can use the cables for the knitting needles. The shorter needle length is extremely helpful for a beginner knitter already proficient in crochet. You have better control. (Tip not related to the product itself-research Continental knitting technique. As a crocheter, this technique was the easiest transition. I’ve heard it is hard to switch from crochet to learning knitting, but the learning curve was much simpler with continental and I caught on immediately once I mastered a comfortable hold). Cons-Not a reflection on the seller and didn’t feel they deserved a lower rating for the below. So, the case left a lot to be desired but wasn’t a deal breaker. It just feels and looks cheap. I’m sure I’ll eventually upgrade the case. Also you can’t comfortably fit more than a few cables in the back packet without the case bulging out. As pictured I hve 3 cables and the empty package for the one I’m using in there and it’ll zip but I worry it’ll warp the needles. I like having all my accessories as possible in one case so consider upgrading cases. Also, I would have paid more for a few extra larger needles. Same when I bought the tc hooks. Again, not a deal breaker, but spending another $30-$40 for another 3 sets of larger needles was necessary in my case. Sounds petty. I know. The cables are fixed. I already knew this would be the case. I know there are compatible swivel cables to be found. So I will eventually upgrade cables to swivel when the time comes when I feel more confident and ready to upgrade those. The cables that came with the set are adequate. I don’t see a connector to attach the shorter ones to make longer. You would definitely want a connector or longer cables to work with the larger mm needles. So snag a 24” or 30” extra cable just to make life simpler from the start. Hope this is helpful.

Knitter's Pride makes vrey nice needles in various materials - from stainless steel to bamboo to colord woods. This set has graduated sizes of needls and cables that can be unscreweed and placed on other needles. The set includes two cables that can be attached to the needles and swapped out. I do suggest, if you are not restricted to knitting socks or skinny scarves, that you purchase additional cables in various sizes so that if you are thinking of knitting a full-sized shawl, you will have the space to accommodate the stitches. As always, the set is worth looking at, and the items enclosed with it ar well-thought out, work well, and completely satisfactory.
