Knit Pro KP47123 Zing: Fixed Circular Knitting Pins: 80cm x 2.5mm, Metal, 2.5, Red

I have all manner of circular needles, fixed and not. Knit-pro, Addi, Chia Ghoo among them. My all-time favourite being Addi Lace with extra sharp tips, that was until they tarnished!! Even brand new ones unsed still in their packaging! Devaststed! So when I saw these I thought ok why not? Yes they seemed lightweight and "tinny" compared to say Addi regular circulars with solid steel needles and sometimes inflexible cable, but they were so shiny, brightly coloured and cheerful I was won over.Yes stitches will sometimes catch at the join, I've found most fixed do. My solution to this, which works, is, when sliding stitches off cable up onto needle, hold cable level with needle so needle and cable become one long straight needle, and gently slide stitches over join, no snagging. Works every time. To the reviewer who said that her stitches were sticking on the cable, Ive not had this issue, but suggest gently placing cable in warm soapy water to remove any residue that may be on there, dry thoroughly, this should work. Again in reply to another review who thought that maybe these purchased from Amazon were not "genuine" Knit-pro because of errors in grammar on packaging. I can reassure everyone, yes they are, having purchased them on here, at Woolfest and online direct from main Knit-pro eu. website. ALL have same packaging and all include the error in grammar in the description! All in all I've found these shiny beauties reliable, superfast to knit with as stitches just slide from needle to needle with ease, and they definitely make you smile with their bright colours and EASY to read sizing on the needle!!! Not the on the cable!! I definitely recommend.

I love the knit pro range of needles and have all the Zing rang and now gradually adding the Symfonie range.The Zing range is a fast knitting needle.The needles are smooth and lovely to work with and the cables are neatly joinedThe design is attractive and the finish excellent.Good Value and Recommended

Had a cardigan to knit, so a lot of stitches for the back. Length was just right. have bought this brand in straight needles and like them so they were as expected. I bought some size 5 though and did not like them. They were not as shiny and slippy if you like this type of needle. Couldn't knit with them

The 1st time I have used circular knitting needles! But I am knitting a tabard & there are too many stitches for conventional needles. All going well, I'll definitley be using them again.

Usually hate using circular needles but this one has changed my opinion. Wool glides over it, light to use and the cord doesnt twist like others ive used. It is well made and cord is very secure so far-im using aran wool and a lot of stitches so is heavy. It was lovely to use and will order other sizes now. No hesitation in saying i highly recommend it.

good circular needles.. great for knitting tiny figures or flowers for wreaths etc. nib of needle is precise in that sts slip off well the only thing that bugs me is the connecting wire is more like memory wire and doesnt " settle" well ! but you get over that after a while !

I’ve always used the knit pro interchangeable tips previously but after breaking a few recently I decided to try these. Tips are rounded rather than pointed so wouldn’t be ideal for lace work. I’m knitting a cabled hat and they are fine. Will definitely use and buy again.

Ok when I received my knit pro zings I was initially very pleased with appearance and the longer length of the fixed needles.However when I came to magic loop with them it became an irritating battle to slide my stitches over the join where cable meets the needle.In fear of ruining my hand knitted socks and damaging the "live"stitches I have requested a refund.Very disappointed.
