US size - material (brand)

I'm slowly expanding needle collection, but at the moment, the majority is still Walmart-bought.

Loves

  • Brittany Birch - lightness and strength
  • Balene II - lightness, flexibility and unique tips
  • 9"-10" straight needles
  • 40" circulars for Magic Loop method

Likes

  • Bamboo (especially Clover brand)
  • The flexibility of the Denise set

Dislikes

  • Heavy needles (aluminum, Pony Pearl)
  • Sticky (Denise) and/or unflexible (Boye) circular cables
  • Dull needle points
  • Splinters (Surina)

Keen to Try

  • 5" double-point needles
  • Bryspun
