It's autumn and I am back into knitting chunky blankets and scarfs and for a project I needed a circular needle for a very chunky yarn. These circular needles stood out to me in price and were the size I needed. They are of good quality and it's easy to work with them. I like the shape of the needles, but it does make it difficult sometimes to thread the yarn back onto the needle because of the cone-like shape that can alter the size of the loops. But with a little practice I found that there are some solutions. I wish the needles themselves would be a little longer, because, for larger projects I keep finding my options rather limited.
