These needles are beautiful, flexible cords that don’t kink, smooth joins, yarn glides, until……. On two ocassions, the yarn suddenly started to “stick”, and fearing that they were coming unscrewed from the cord, this was checked. Cords were snug and tight, as they should be. The problem was that the needle had come loose from the metal casing, and the needle fell free, along with some stitches. Called Knit Picks, they apologized, said they would send out a new size 4 needle. Took up another project, using the size 6 needles. After a bit of knitting, the EXACT same thing happened with one of the needles. Called Knit Picks again. Many apologies, said that maybe the changing weather made it come loose. They will send out another needle. To date, have not received either needle, and have reverted to using fixed cable bamboo needles! LOVE the look and feel of the needles, but they do have a glue problem!

I purchased a set of the Caspian needles off knit picks website. Less than 2 months later and 5 of my 9 needles were defective. The wooden tip separated from it’s metal base (came unglued). It was actually the 5 largest sizes, the smaller needles seem fine.
Good thing: After a 2 minute phone call, replacement needles for the defectives were ordered. (May be a potential 60 day window for this?) Bad thing: Who knows if those will be defective too. Bonus good thing: Super glue didn’t work, but Gorilla Glue seems to have repaired at least one of my needles and I plan on trying the rest to salvage them. Do be careful not to use too much gorilla glue, as it expands. Used 3 rubber bands to “clamp” it together for a few hours. So far so good. My first time using Gorilla Glue!
So be prepared with any wooden sets for it to come unglued, but do know that you can fix them if you do it carefully, and that knitpicks will send replacements.

I ordered these from Knit Picks about two days before Amazon started carrying them!! (I know because I always check Amazon first) I absolutely LOVE this set. They feel marvelous and are very well made. Nice sharp tips, smooth surface and warm wood feel. They are also beautiful. I’ve been knitting with them for three straight days since I got them. I’m am SO happy that Amazon is now carrying this line so I can get two day delivery!! Now if we could just order the yarn here because Knit Picks yarn is also awesome-tastic… Love, love, love this product.
