Knitter's Pride Zing Circular Knitting Needles

I am in love with Zing needles! They are (for me) the perfect marriage of pointy tips, without being TOO pointy; slick, without being TOO slippery, and very reasonably priced! I can afford ALL of them! My only wish for Zing needles, is that Knitter's Pride begin making the fixed circulars in a 9" variety for us crazy sock knitters. Are you listening, KP, please? These needles are lightweight, semi-warm to the touch (not cold like steel), very smooth, both at the join and all along the shaft, and just pointy enough to work all your K2Tog's and like that, without poking a hole in your finger. If you have any doubts that a needle can be this good, purchase just one, in your favorite size and give 'em a knit. I think you'll be coming back for more!

I have been using the 40 inch size 1 (2.25 mm) needles to make socks using magic loop. The cord is very pliable and works great for magic loop. The tips are just right. They slip under the stitches easily, but not so sharp that they split the yarn. The price is fantastic. No worries about snapping the tiny needles, because it's metal, not wood.

I don’t know if I got a bad needle, but the join on the size 2 16 inch are not smooth. The yarn catches on it terrible.

LOVE the Zing fixed circulars. Bought a set of 16" for a dear friend to knit hats. She LOVED them. Smooth join, great tips, and "cooperative "cable. So I treated myself to a complete set in 16" and 24" lengths. LOVE them. I don't know why I waited so LOOOOOOG to buy decent needles. To many years wasted on cheap ones; horrid tips and cables from A BAD PLACE !! I struggled . Now I just sit and knit. I would recommend ZINGS to anyone looking to upgrade. The price is great and love the yummy colors that just add a bit of whimsy as you knit. Right now I am replacing a few necessary sizes. I recently moved and my complete set is "in a box somewhere" Hoping to find it soon.
