Help on needle sets
I was thinking about getting a set of denise needles or options needles but I dont' know what else is out there right now. How much should you pay for these sets? I have seen them from $149.99 to 49.99. Are there any others out there what should I be looking for when I choose? I have never seen the denise or options in person. I have currently been buying the needles I need for each project so I use clover bamboo.

Please Help.

Click on the search option at the top of the page and type in interchangeable needles--you'll find more information than you ever wanted to know!!!

Options are only sold through Knitpicks so the price you see at their site is what you pay; Amy was (and I think still is) selling Denise needles. You definately should NOT be paying $150.00 for a set!!!

Good luck.

The difference b/w the Denises' is that some are dyed and some are not.. mine are NOT and so are 49.99 + tax, I think Amy's are 65$ for the Rainbows(which in hindsight I would have gotten instead) and then the pink denises (see her store also)~ are I think about 10$ more than the plain...
I just wish I had bought the colored Denises' because the numbers on the needles are very tiny and the same color as the needles itself.. it would be easier IMHO to pick up the right sized needes by color instead of number~ that's my 2 cents worth. .But Cristy is right if you look under the search for interchangeables neeedlse....there is boocoos of info~

Amy is the person who runs/owns this site. She is the one who did all of the videos.
