Unfortunately, these needles snapped after only using them for a few days to knit a pair of socks. The Ribbon Rose team was amazing and sent me another pair from a different brand as a replacement within 48 hours of me sending an initial message, all for free. While I was able to use these, I enjoyed the metal cable and the needles knit smoothly. I think this is a quality product in general, but the 2.25 mm size is probably just too fine to be made of wood. I'd definitely buy these needles again in a larger size though. 2 stars for the product itself, 5 stars for excellent customer service
