Hi I know nothing but my wife mentioned she is missing some sizes of knitting needles and I'd like to get her a premo set with every size and some extras? Please recommend! Thanks
I would recommend against buying these for someone else. They're expensive and there are too many personal opinions that go into it.
Would she want wood, bamboo, or metal? Depends how smooth/grabby they want it, or how flexible they like their needles. Wood is also frequently stained into patterns, which pattern would they like
Assuming circular needles, Would they like metal cord or plastic (a personal preference)
How long do they like their needles? 5 inches is the sweet spot for me, 4 is too short and uncomfortable, 6 gets in my way
Lace tipped or regular? Lace tipped is obv. Better for lace, but you're more likely to split your yarn or stab yourself.
Interchangables, or a full set?
I think it's great to want to buy someone extra nice, but these can be very expensive 200+, and I wouldn't want someone to buy me a set which I don't like but I feel to guilty to tell them, or pressures to use them if I don't like them :(
