20 Best Double Pointed Knitting Needles (2023 Updated)

I have bought several of these sets because they’re the most useful sock needles I’ve found. The color coding is immensely helpful for telling sizes apart, and the points are nice and sharp for doing decreases and other finicky stitches.

They will bend, with enough pressure, but do not break like wooden or bamboo needles. And they’re highly affordable compared to most other sock needle sets. However, if I wish I could change two things about them.

First, they’re about an inch too long. At 7″, these needles are constantly poking through my smaller knitting bags, which gets annoying really fast. Also, in low light conditions, it’s hard to tell the gold from the silver.

It would have been helpful if a different color had been chosen for either the size 1 or size 2 needles. So, my search for the perfect sock needles continues, but in the meantime, these are far and away the best I’ve found.

I’ve made my first pair of socks. I had a few pairs of wooden needles and kept breaking them. I really like these needles my yarn doesn’t slide off the end but glides easily.

Most of my double point needles (inherited from my mother) have plastic storage packets that indicate the size. This set is in a cardboard package which I don’t think will hold up well. I like the needles though.

I’ve had these for two years now and the more you use them the better they become. Great bargain when starting to use dpns. Great to have even as your collection grows and skills increase. Best when used on bamboo exclusive projects.

had a poor result in a sweater worked in stainless needles and used these for sleeves. Nice to have ALL the sizes. Great stocking stuffers gift. Sew up a needle pouch to keep them in order and together.

I would have given FIVE start, except I had to smooth out the points of these bamboo needles (with a very lightweight sandpaper) as they were very rough. Other than that, this is a wonderful deal.

Good quality, sharp points, and very smooth. Set contains every size needles in sets of five.

Great, flexible needles for very small projects! More durable than bamboo and more flexible than metal. Can’t find this small in either of those materials anyway.

My favorite. I have always used bamboo because I don’t like metal dp. These are great. Better for me than bamboo.

I received these as a gift and have fallen in love with them. They are warm to the touch and smooth. Stitches glide easily over the surface but have enough grip to hold the needle in place. My favorite part though are the “very” pointed tips, I get frusted with the duller tips on some dp needles.

These are definitely a delight to use. I think I try to get all the sizes in the 6″ dps.

I receiced these free for review. They are nice. Very comfortable to hold. Seem pretty durable and not cheaply made. They do what i need them to do. They are very nice. Thank you for giving me a chance to review.

Id definitely recommend these.

This is a excellent box of a variety of knitting needles. Very high-performance material. The hooks easily pick up and smoothly guide the yarn. The shape allows stitches to slide freely along the needle.

Would recommend for personal use or as a gift for someone that knit.

They are nice. Very comfortable to hold. Seem pretty durable and not cheaply made. They do what i need them to do. I love these needles as they are very light weight and conform to my hands when knitting.

Not only are these needles comfortable on my hands, they stay put in the work.

I have an interchangeable set of Zing needles which I really like because they are light weight and the yarn glides nicely while having just enough grip on them while knitting that stitches do not easily slip off.

Also do not knit as tight with these as I do with wood needles. I love the colors with silver tips. Decided to buy the double points to try for sock knitting and sleeves of smaller sweaters. Very happy with them.

I love these! I knit continental and generally just a little bit tight on the tension, so I love slick needles. These allow me to knit FAST, and are slick enough to slide the stitches easily even when the tension is tight.

They’re long enough that they don’t stab me in the palms as I’m knitting, and they’re not super sharp so I don’t split yarn all the time! Really love these. I bought some of the circular tips too and they’ve taught me to enjoy using circulars!.

I have always preferred bamboo dpn’s, but wanted something with a pointier tip and a bit stronger. I decided to try the Zings, and I am thrilled to have found them! I have used them to knit a couple pair of mittens, and the smaller sizes are awesome for fingering weight yarn and sock knitting.

I love the colors, each size is different so no mixing up needles. Plus, the needle size is etched right onto the needle. The points are sharp without being painful. The tips are smooth and fast, yet the shaft of the needle has a slight matte finish that holds your stitches perfectly.

In my opinion these needles are perfect. If I had one gripe it would be their weight. After using bamboo or plastic needles, these seem heavier. Not enough to be bothersome, but still noticeable. All in all, these are my new go-to double points.

And you won’t find a better price than WEBS. Believe me, I did my research ;).

On a whim. I purchased a set of Prym Ergonomics Double Pointed Needles. I was intrigued with the design shape of the needle as well as the bulb points. Truthfully, I thought they would be totally useless.

Was I wrong. I was actually astounded the difference they made when knitting cables on headbands I sell commercially. I brought them to my knitting group and gave a commercial regarding their “magic powers.

” The wrong side of my cabled headbands looked professional. Children in the family ages, 5 and 8 have used them on their own knitting projects and “thrived” using them. Great product!.

I’ve been a huge fan of a plastic needle with a concave point that is very difficult to find anymore: Bryspun. I decided to try these. They are excellent! The goofy point works well. The needles are warm in your hands.

The way the sizes are permanently printed on them is inspired. And I even like the angles of the middle section. I bought 2 sizes to give them a try. Then I came back to buy all the other sizes!.

Was excited to try the free pattern option that Fillory offered: AIBHILIN arm warmers, only to discover that I did not have all three sizes of the required DPNs. Selected from the needles offered on line and was thrilled that with this product, each size comes in a different color.

I have such a hard time keeping track of all my different needle sizes. but not these! So far, having a great experience with the smoothness of the tips and ability to move the yarn. Satisfied customer!.

These are my favorite interchangeable needles! They work beautifully and look just as nice. I like that each size is a different color so I can be sure I have the same size on each end of the cable.

Good quality maker. nicely finished, purchased to finish off a bulky blanket: exactly what i wanted to replace a pair from another maker, that didn’t hold up. I love the Caspian color way, too.

ChiaoGoo ARE BEAUTIFULLY CRAFTED NEEDLES. THEY ARE WHAT I WILL CONTINUE TO SEEK WHENEVER I NEED A DIFFERENT SIZE. THEY ARE SMOOTH AND AREN’T SO SLIPPERY THAT THE YARN DOESN’T ACCIDENTALLY SLIDE OFF. I HAVE HAD PLENTY ACCIDENTS LIKE THAT AND NEEDED TO REPAIR THE DROPPED STITCHES.

ChiaoGoo ARE PERFECTLY SMOOTH AND HAVE BETTER POINTS THAN THE ALUMINUM NEEDLES, MAKING IT MUCH MORE PRECISE TO PICK UP THE NEXT STITCH.

These needles are very good quality. I have had dpn’s break in the past, and these do not break. They are very strong.

I needed needles quickly and was so happy to see that Michigan Fine Yarns had such a large selection of needles. Not all shops carry 1.5 US size needles!!

I ordered size 3mm 5 inch needles for knitting socks with multi-coloured sock yarn and they are lovely to use. The stitches always show up well against the plain, pale wood and of course the needles are never cold to touch.

I wondered if I should have ordered the longer needles when turning the heel etc but although short each needle is capable of holding thirty stitches with no problems at all. I am so glad I have them!.

I am extremely happy to get these 10” straights. I have been knitting for over 50 years and they are warm in my hands and comfortable to use on 98% of the yarns available. A double thumbs up from me.

I am a sock knitter. I use Brittany needles because they are a great quality needle. They are smooth and have a nice point. I have always used the 7 1/2 inch needles in the past. I ordered the 5 inch needles by mistake.

As it turns out, I really like them better! They are much easier to use and maneuver than the longer needles for knitting socks. I will order them in the other sizes now. They are very nice needles.

These are the BEST knitting needles! I don’t know why, but they are getting harder to find. It seems like they are no longer being made. I wanted to get this size in double pointeds before they were no longer available.

I liked my size3 double point needles very much, needed that specific size for an amigurumi project I was doing, however I broke one needle while knitting with it, on the first day. I wish they made them in something more sturdy than wood, but not as slippery as metal.

Susan Bates is the number one brand for knitting and crocheting needles. These crafts are a lost art and will be truly missed if they are not passed down.

Classic metal double points, good for smaller projects. I used for wool socks using size 3s. Smooth and good price on sale. Wish the company would offer a 5 piece set along with the traditional 4 piece.

Loving my Addi 20cm/4.0mm aluminium dpns so can’t wait to try these with the lovely 6ply sock wool I have. Great online service from Laughing Hens. Jennifer J

I now have a pair/set of every size of these needles, circular, double points, and crochet hooks and love every one of them. They are a delight to work with. Expensive, but if you are a serious crafter then they are worth every penny.

TranslateShow in original languageHallo… ich stricke schon seit ein paar Jahren, nicht so kontinuierlich aber doch schon so das ein oder andere Projekt im ja. Habe auch schon recht viele Nadeln in meinem Sortiment und seit neusten die Ergonomics Strumpfstricknadeln.

Diese liegen gut in der Hand und schön und auch sehr praktisch sind die kleinen Kugeln/ Köpfe an den Spitzen, so kann die Masche nicht so schnell runterrutschen, wenn man die Arbeit mal zur Seite legen ☺️☺️ Ich bin mit den Ergonomics Strumpfstricknadeln voll zufrieden.

Beautiful to work with. Lovely to look at. Comfortable to hold. Only needles to use and I have been knitting for about 61 years. I love them and always recommend them.

Brilliant thank you

TranslateShow in original languageКупила этот набор 3 года назад. После этого набора не купила ни одни чулочные спицы. Его оказалось достаточно и не пожалела ни разу. Отличные спицы!!! Прочные, удобные, приятные для рук и для глаз.

Фирма Prym производит отличные аксессуары по нормальной цене. Спасибо им огромное!!! Также большое спасибо Ozon за акцию, набор покупала по смешной цене.

I am super impressed with the Dreamz dpns. They not only come in such beautiful colours, but they are also the perfect amount of slipperyness and stickyness. Not so slick like metal that your stitches fall off, but not so grabby like plastic that your hands get hot and the stitches get stuck.

Just perfect! I have only used the largest size so far (for a pair of sport weight socks) so I cannot say much as to how strong the smaller ones are, but they definetly don’t feel so flimsy that they’re going to break.

I think these are a great set for the decreasing of 4ply weight (fingering, sock) hats, as well as small projects that don’t require a lot of needle space and any form of sock knitting. I would definetly recommend these :).

I love the needles. However, the description is misleading. I expected six sets of six needles and there are six sets of five needles.

I haven’t had a chance to use them yet. But everything I order from you I have like.

Brittney Birch DPN are like no other needles that I have purchased. They feel good in my hands and they don’t allow stitches to slip like aluminum needles. I have old hands and I prefer these needles.

I have loved using the Brittany needles from the first I learned about them and the fact that they are American made is also a positive. Glad to have found another supplier.

Soooooo much better than metal in every way. I did worry about their durability and thought I had better make sure I don’t sit on them. Of course then I managed to both sit on a needle and drag the whole lot with me when I got up, and in perfect slapstick choreography tread on them.

Thankfully they are still all intact.

Yarn slides nicely off of these smooth needles, which is why I love them!
