Susan Bates 14154 Finishing Value Pack Knitting Needle, Assorted

These yarn needles are awesome! So much better than a standard needle. Easy to "thread". The needles can lflex and works with short yarn tails better than standard needles.

I was not sure what to expect, they look a little flimsy but they are not at all. It is so much easier to use than a typical needle, I often use more than one kind of yarn so being able to have the whole needle be the hole is so helpful making sure I can get all the yarn threaded. I will be getting more as some gifts soon. I recommend!!!I will say I tend to used them a size down than what is said though. I used the greenish one for most of the yard. I work with 6 weight and doubled/tripped 4 weight a lot and the blue one is just fine. When I tripple I sometimes need to use the blue. I have not needed yellow or red yet.

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS! I saw this on TikTok because someone came up with the 3D printer version. I have a 3D printer, but I’m too lazy to mess with it, so I bought this set. Firstly, threading yarn is the most impossible thing in the world! This takes care of that. I was able to stick a bulky thread on one of the smaller needles and use it without issues cause of the design. Because of the uniform design, it also glides through stitches easier than a darning needle with the flared out eye. If there is once concern, it can be flimsy, but that kind of makes sense since its basically a hollow piece of plastic, it’s going to be a little wobbly, but quite frankly, if you have trouble using these, you’d have trouble using plastic darning needles too. My favorite value of the money hack is that I can use this when I don’t have much yard left. I had barely the length of the needle left and I was still able to weave in edges and then weave in the ends (I would normally resort and fight with a crochet hook). SO WORTH IT!!!

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.

I use these all the time. My only problem is I wish they came all in one size as I do not ever need the really large ones and end up having to collect them because the smaller ones do eventually wear out and break. Sometimes they have an area that needs to be filed down as it catches on the yarn. But overall they work well and are good for weaving in short ends.

Thee are my favorite for weaving in ends-- no more struggles with threading chunky yarn and you can easily reverse weave shorter ends. The only downside is that they can snap easily, but with some care, they can last a long time.

I was expecting these to be a gimmick, but they really do make a difference in how easy and fast it is to weave in ends, especially if you’re working with a soft yarn that might be hard to thread onto a darning needle. After using these on a few projects, I don’t want to go back.

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
