HiyaHiya SHARP Stainless Steel Interchangeable Knitting Needle Sets

These are wonderful, fast, sharp but not enough to hurt your finger if you push your stitches off that way. Never had them unscrew even once (and i've been using them almost every day since I got them). Only complaint is that occasionally the yarn will catch around the swivel join, but not enough to damage the yarn or anything. It only happens when I'm working on something heavy and the weight of it makes it pull down and get caught where the needles go from 'skinny' to 'wide'. I've had it happen with regular circulars too so I think it's really just something that happens when you're working with something heavy.

The Hiya Hiya 4" Sharp interchangeables are about perfect--lightweight, balanced, silky-smooth surface with beautifully tapered points that slip sweetly even into tight sock stitches. The construction of the join between tips and cables is masterful, resulting in an extremely smooth and stable joining point, and the swivelling cable is a stroke of genius which prevents kinking and helps the tips stay screwed firmly to the cable ends. I bought these needles to replace Addi Lace Clicks that drove me crazy because I had to fight to get the stitches to move over the "click" join between tip and cable. The Hiya Hiya needles out-perform the Addis on all fronts-- I love knitting with them.

I like the ss metal. The swivel cords and glue ability , still they tend to unscrew a bit. How ever these are my travel and sample needles so they are perfect for that. The new sharpness and taper is great. I took them out of the case as the tips tended to slip out, and put them in another case I have. I like the fact that the tips go down two more sizes than other interchange needles.

Very good customer service! Answered many questions to help me decide which ones I needed/wanted. I like these needles a lot and now I want the whole set! So smooth to work with and very smooth joins that stay. Would (and will) buy again (the bigger set).

The 5" interchangeable sharp set is really wonderful to work with. The join has a great swivel and the taper of the sharp needles really pick up stitches nicely.
