Boye 3216327007M Aluminum Straight Knitting Needles Set, US Size 7, 10" L, 2pcs

Work great

Just perfect size

See my original review on Boye knitting needles I have bought recently this summer.

Exactly what I was looking for. Very fast delivery. Very pleased. Happy to recommend this seller.

Good aluminum knitting needles. A bit on the short side for my preferences, but gets the job done. Good for sticky yarns where you need the loops to slip off of the ends easily.

Color was what I requested.

So, I was on row 400+ of a garter stitch scarf and I kept setting it aside. I use mostly bamboo but, there was too much friction between my needles and the cheapy yarn that I was using. Too much friction = hurting wrists and since I have RA, I need to keep that at a minimum. Anyway, after ordering these, I know I'll be ordering more. The stitches were flying and I finally finished the scarf. I sort of shunned metal as a beginner because it's slippery and I don't like the sound of metal on metal. However, the sound isn't very noticeable, especially with the tv or music on. And now that I have a bit more experience, I can control the yarn better. As a comparison, I recently bought some Susan Bates needles and the sound is much more metallic than these. Also, the yarn doesn't glide along on them as well. I'm talking about regular run of the mill acrylic and cotton. So, when it comes to metal needles, I prefer these and I'm sure I'll complete the set eventually. They are cold as heck though!

Works like it should!
