Product Description
On sale is 14 sets of 7" premium quality double-point bamboo knitting needles with assorted sizes of US 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9,10,10.5, 11, 13 and 15. Each size has 5 needles. Sizes in US and metric are permanently etched onto the needles by laser. These needles are the BEST we have ever made. They are first sanded to super smooth using the finest sanding paper and then lightly hand rubbed with a thin layer of wax to improve the smoothness. While feeling super smooth, one can still sense the texture of bamboo. That makes them very different from lacquered needles. These needles do not have ripple (a common defect with a lot of mass produced needles). Needle points are uniformly shaped as shown in the picture. Their smoothness, sturdyness, and overall qualtiy can meet or beat any world class brands. Your satisfaction is 100% guaranteed. We offer 30 day full money back guarantee, no questions asked.

 An excellent value April 1, 2008

I am extremely pleased with my 7" double pointed bamboo knitting needles. They are very smooth and have good points at a very affordable price. I finished off the top of a hat with a set of these needles (#4) and could not tell the difference between the Oriental Touch needles and my usual Clover needles. I believe the point on Clover needles are more tapered and a bit sharper but I sure didn't notice much difference when I used them.
------------
Additional comments: I have since done some knitting with the #8 and #2 needles. The points of the #8 needles varied from needle to needle. They are nicely tapered and easy to use but some needles had sharper points than others.
The Oriental Touch needles just don't feel quite as firm as the Clovers. They have a little bit of flex which does not bother me at all with the sizes above #3. I can really notice the difference in firmness in sizes #1 and #2 when I compare them to my set of Clover #2 5" needles which just feel firmer.
I started a sock on the Oriental Touch #2 needles and they are working just fine. The flexibility of the needles is a bit annoying and I have the nagging feeling that one of will eventually snap through some sort of a mishap. The #1 and #2 needles are the only needles that made miss using Clovers, the difference is not as noticeable in the larger sizes.
------------
This is a great way to get a full set of double pointed needles. I love having them since it is hard to find any double pointed needles in my immediate area. It is a great to be able to start projects and know I have the double points that I need. This set will probably pay for itself in a few months.
The Oriental Touch service is fabulous. The needles were shipped from the West Coast to the East Coast. I ordered them early on a Monday and the needles arrived by mail on Wednesday. The needle packaging was very basic but they were ship quickly and the needles arrived in fine shape.

I received my needles today (ordered on the 20th, shipped on the 22nd) and I am very happy with my purchase! Great value for the price considering they're bamboo (compare prices to Clover). I always wanted to buy DPNs but end up thinking twice because of the prices -- good thing I checked here and am very satisfied. Will buy from this company again if (and when) they come out with other products as affordable as this. =)
Definitely worth the money! March 17, 2008

These DPNs are awesome!! First, they're definitely worth the price. Second, they're made of bamboo not plastic. And third, you get 14 sets of 5 needles each (not 4 mind you). If you're one who switches between 4 and 5 needles or have projects that call for 4 or 5 then you've got the choice to make. One issue with my needles is that some of them warped ever so slightly, not enough to stop me from knitting comfortably. I would have given them a 4 star rating for this reason except the price is still unbeatable and totally outweighs that minor fault. They're also slightly flexible, which is nice for those tight knitters who are afraid to break the needle. They are also wax polished instead of coated with a chemical polish like some others which results in them feeling much more natural to the touch and a beauty to knit with. I'm so in love with these that i'll probably end up getting the 5 and 9 inch versions as well.
Awesome for the price April 1, 2008

For the price of this product it was absolutely worth purchasing. The smaller needle sizes aren't as sturdy as some of my more expensive pairs. However, it was well worth the cost all in all!
