As a beginner I was told to buy wooden needles but since I wanted to keep my purchases affordable, I chose these ones. Trust me, the stitches do not slip off the needles. And they feel comfortable to hold in your hands. I got the size 5 mm and it's been great so far. I've been using them for 20 days now. Very happy with my purchase :)

I have used the needles for over a month, they are smooth, good quality and beginner friendly. The main concern started with the stoppers at the back they can be pushed open easily, which stresses me as it may result in slipping of the stitches thereby ruining the WIP piece. Other than this concern, it's a good needle to go for.

Yarn is very nice.
