Boye Knitting Needle Set US Sizes 8, 9, and 10

Great set of 14" knitting needles in multiple sizes. The variety of sizes gives versatility for whatever project you are working on. These are made from aluminum, which has the tendency to bend over time with usage, however they are great for starting out at a great price and are easily replaced over time at a low cost. With great care, will last you a really long time or until you can get a more sturdier set. I've used these type of knitting needles for a long time and they work very well with various types of yarn.

My first pack of knitting needles. They're quite long I probably should have looked for a shorter pair that would be more for a beginner. But they are excellent needles

I like these needles very durable I doubt they would break but sometimes it’s extremely easy for you to lose a stitch and the yarn slide off when you’re sewing value for the money I would say it’s alright. They are also very long I would say if you’re not sure what size you sew with or u want to try different sizes this set makes sense

Good quality

A quality and resilient product. Easy grip, unsightly colored for easy identification. Great for beginners in knitting

The sizes range from US 8, US 9, US 10. I didn't know the sizes when I bought them. I've been using the US 10 which gives a modest size stitch. I am a beginner and thought I needed a large needle size. I get about 5 stitches per inch. The needles are smooth and the point is perfect.

The stitches slide smoothly and points are not frustrating.

I love the needles and the price was excellent, however, one of the needles in the package was missing. It's not critical but it is a bit disappointing as I now need to find a replacement for the missing needle.

I bought my first pair of Boye needles over 15 years ago, at a yard sale, from a woman in her 70’s. And I still have them. The tips are worn off, my dog has chewed them up, they’ve travelled back and forth to the cottage, and they have knitted hundreds of baby sweaters, blankets, wall hangings and toys. It’s hard to find the brand where I live, and I was blessed to find these on Amazon! Time to hang up my old needles and knit with the new ones 🥰 They aren’t good for everything obviously. They’re anodized steel, so they’re great for yarns that have a lot of grip and tend to slide. But if you need more grip because you want to knit with ribbons or some other kind of slippery yarn, it’s better to use bamboo or rubber. Also if you want to take them on a flight, they are more likely to accept plastic or bamboo needles and they would have to be much shorter than these ones. I knit with chopsticks or kids (10”) needles when I travel. They are also very long. Excellent for big projects but tiring if you are knitting because you have arthritis and not great if you’re knitting in a small enclosed space or beside your husband who for some reason doesn’t like taking a knitting needle butt to the eye every time he tries to put his head on your shoulder. You might want to switch to shorter needles if you’re in love. Dogs chew these significantly less than plastic or rubber needles, and cats don’t care to snack on them at all. The dogs will chew your plastic, the cats will eat your bamboo, and 15 years later when you’re on Amazon trying to decide which needles to buy you’re just going to be over here like “I’ll just replace the only ones that survived. Seems sensible. If only future you could recommend a set of needles right now 😉

Exactly what ya need to knit.

I bought these to turn the little round Danish Ebelskivers during cooking For this use, they work well!
