Susan Bates 14154 Finishing Value Pack Knitting Needle, Assorted

These needles are amazing. I do not know how I ever lived without them. They are high quality plastic that is flexible without being flimsy. They are super easy to thread and to push through my stitches. They have made weaving in my ends much easier. I love them!

Ok I had no idea these exist and will never not have them. Weaving in ends is so much easier. These are a must have for fiber artists.

I love these things for a number of reasons. (1) It’s so easy to get the yarn into the flexible hole. Simply open the hole a little wider and you don’t have to do anything else to the yarn to get it in. (2) There are multiple sizes to fit any type of yarn. I use the smaller blue “needle” for worsted. (3) You can use either end of the needle to pass the tail through the woven material, even when the tail is very short. (This may be the best thing for me because I tend to cut them short.) The one drawback is that they might be easy to lose, but no more so than any other needle. I simply purchased two more packets to have them on hand. I have tons of tapestry needles that I may use for sewing components together, but when it comes to weaving in tails, nothing beats these guys.

No one else but Susan Bates makes these. It enables knitters/crocheters to weave in even very short ends because you don’t just have the eye as in a regular darning needle, you have the entire tool. You can load the yarn end at the tip, weave it in and pull it through so it works more like a sewing machine needle. The photo shows the how far I can get to the end of the end and still use the tool. I’ve left the ends until I block the garment and then I’ll snip them all. I see reviews that say the needles are flimsy and break or catch the yarn. I've had mine for more than 5 years? or so and havent had that problem. In fact, I just re-ordered a set because I lost a couple. I wonder how they are being used to cause breakage. They are flexible and I only use them with a matched yarn weight. And I only use them to weave in ends into the kntted fabric. I wouldnt use them to sew seams or try to get through anything other than knit or crochet items..

I've seen these Susan Bates plastic needles so many times & I've wanted to try them. They're useful & they work with yarns up to about a bulky weight. There are 5 needles in differents sizes, easy to use. Price was fair, & they shipped very quickly. I only tested out 2, the red & blue needles with sport weight & dk weight yarns, they worked great. (I lost the large pink needle already) I do recommend this seller & these needles. They're very easy to use with yarn, especially if u have a hard time getting yarn through a regular yarn needle. The plastic seems pretty durable & I'm sure I'll use them. I took off 1 star because the largest needle wouldn't be large enough to use with thick yarns, & the 2 smallest sizes seem a bit fragile, especially the tiny yellow needle. I would recommend this seller 100% & these needles. For around $5, I think these are worth trying. I hope they last, but if they don't, at least they didn't cost a lot. I do like them, & I hope I find the pink needle I lost. I'll try to remember to update this, after I've actually used these on knit & crochet projects, to give a more accurate review.

These large eye, double ended needles are great for yarn. I had to run a lifeline in my knitting and this worked better than anything else I've tried in the past. Also very good for weaving in a short yarn end.

Super helpful and easy to use for weaving in ends on crochet projects

I purchased these finishing needles after seeing them on a crochet page. They seemed to solve a huge problem, which is threading the stupid yarn through the dang hole. It ABSOLUTELY made that a cinch, and within seconds I was stitching away at the edges of my project. When my yarn pulled free, no worries, because in 2 seconds, I've got it back in the needle and tied back on. There are several sizes included in the package so you're covered even up to a chunky yarn and down to a sock one. All was perfect, however, I noticed that when I used this needle my hand cramped terribly and it just seemed uncomfortable. I didn't pay much attention at first but quickly found myself avoiding using this new needle. Now that I pay attention, it makes sense. They are VERY thin pieces of plastic. So while they answer a need on one front, they may cause an issue on another, especially if you have dexterity issues, as I do, or carpal tunnel, again, like me, or cubital tunnel (also me). I didn't want to deduct stars, as this is a "me" problem and not the product, but please bear this in mind if you will be doing a lot of stitching. This is not an ergonomic purchase/needle

Para arremates de crochê, é perfeita. Seria melhor do que isso se deslisasse mais.

Knitting accessories

Geniales para esconder los restos de lanas.Las estoy usando mucho en mis labores de ganchillo. Estoy muy contenta con la compra.

Muy buenas.

Nålarna var ojämna och dåligt tillverkade, så garnet kan skadas. Retur.
