Knit Pro KP47299 Zing: Knitting Pins: Single Ended: 35cm x 4.00mm, 4mm Blue

My favourite needle brand and style.
Please see my other reviews. I love these needles. They are the best I have found for an experienced and fast knitting fanatic. I really like KnitPro, but Zing are my favourites. Smooth in use, very strong and love the colour coding too. I have lots of Zing needles in various sizes and bought these to replace some old "grey" 4mm/UK size 8 needles. I am so glad I did! Several sweaters, cardigans and some small items later, they are still straight, unmarked and a pleasure to use. Just one thing though: if you are new to knitting they are fast and "slippy" in use. For beginners, I recommend KnitPro wooden Symfonie needles as they have more grip on the stitches, which is better for novice knitters. Pretty too.This is a genuine purchaser/user review. I have not been paid or rewarded in any way for writing it.

Coloured needles make life harder!
These needles are ok, but I find them difficult to use due to their blue colour. The traditional light grey colour of knitting needles works much better and I wish it was an option for these needles. If you are using a darker coloured wool, you cannot see the stitches against the dark blue background, which makes it hard to count them. It is also difficult to see when passing a slip stitch over. I think the colours look attractive, but are not practical.

Very Light
Great item to use they are very light which I find great because I have fibromyalgia and sometimes needles can be too heavy for me when knitting.Easy to use and do as it "says on the tin"

Wish I'd found these sooner
These knitting needles really do make a difference to your knittingexperience.You can see the difference from the general knitting needles that have been going for a very long time. You can see the yarns easier, well I would say most. Posted photo to show the difference, its easier to count the stitches too.They also have a silver tip which I didn't think would make a difference, but it does in a good way.They are metal and have a really nice feel to themI enjoy using them.I have bought more in different sizes which are different colours per size.

Smooth and light.
Nice needles to work with, lovely colour. No snagging or wool sticking. Seem to be small size compared to my old needles. Will have to buy a new needle size to compare.

A luxury needle
Very nice needles. Made out of lovely bright blue aluminium with pointed tips and a silver block on the other end. I use mine for several crafting purposes such and hole making and creating curls from wool... one day I might even learn to knit with them.They will last and are very good quality

Good product
I love these. I now have several in different sizes. The colours help with selection and pairing up. They knit very well and have a good weight. Very smooth.Slightly awkward when knitting, so wish I'd got the shorter ones. Loving that they have 3 lengths to offer.

Upset
Yes I love these needles, they are lovely to knit with, best I've found in 50yrs of knitting but... I'm half way through knitting a white cotton jumper, first time I've used this particular pair, and the paint has started to scratch and come off, I am very disappointed with this aspect of the needles as apart from this they are perfect.
