Review on ๐Ÿงถ Enhance Your Knitting Experience with the Needlemaster 40-Piece Interchangeable Aluminum Knitting Set by Brooke Abrahams

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good needles but cable length not as advertised.

The description of this item states that this is a kit that contains 8 sets of needles with 20", 24", 29" and 36" cables but the kit I received , is completely different. I received a case with 13 sets of needles and the cables that came with it were 12", 14", 16" and 21". The kit itself is good quality, but I ordered the kit to get longer cables. There are connectors if you want to connect more than one cable together but the yarn gets caught on the connectors and if the connector breaks during knitting it can be a big problem so joining two cables together is not a good substitute for a cable. . I have informed Revain and requested that the item description be updated. I don't think this was a mistake as other reviews have commented the same. ETA: Revain has responded positively as always, hopefully the list will be updated soon. I'd like to add that I was trying to knit with 12" cord and the threads were uneven on one end so none of the needles thread flush into the needle so it can't be used as the yarn snags there (I've attached a picture of it). I have emailed Simplicity and am hoping they will send out a replacement cable quickly. Will update if/if I get a reply. ETA: Simplicity/Wilton sent a replacement cable for a broken 12" cable. I'm going to try this on my next little knitting project. I have updated the star rating.
