ChiaoGoo FORTÉ 2. African Blackwood and Carbon Fiber 5-Inch Interchangeable Knitting Needles - Complete Set

Great variety and feel

New knitter here, who was getting tired of buying a new set of needles for every project. I splurged on these, and absolutely do not regret it. The kit has a great range of parts. Both the needles and cables themselves are well made. The swivel cables are particularly helpful when flipping around flat pieces. The needles are smooth without being too slippery. Looking forward to a lot of years with these.

I love these needles. The point is sharp, but the shaft is less slippery than the medal needles. They are the perfect combination of wood and medal needles. They came in a sturdy leather case that smells wonderful and included lots of essentials. Smartisans sent them quickly and well packaged. I highly recommend both the needles and smartisans.

The needles are a dream to knit with. The join is smooth and the points are perfect. I feel so spoiled. Glad I made the investment. I'm very happy with the set, and the customer service is outstanding.
