Smart Stix Size 2 Double- Point Review
I never write reviews. Never. I own every type of double point knitting needles - metal Signatures, casein, wood, plastic - literally every type and most brands. I feel like I have been waiting for Smart Stix my whole knitting life! The measurements right on the needles make so much sense, it’s amazing that JBW is the first to put them right on the needles.
I am knitting a pair of gloves and once my Smart Stix Double Point Size 2 needles arrived, I transferred my WIP glove to them. At first, I kept stopping to look for my ruler, then the light dawned, I don’t have to stop!
Smart Stix are a beautiful light- weight aluminum with just enough “stickiness” that I don’t have to grip them hard with my arthritic fingers. My Signature DPs are slicker but while knitting smalls like socks or gloves, they tend to fall off and clang to the floor. The Smart Stix are not very sharp so they wouldn’t work for lace knitters but for me again, because of arthritis in my hands this means I just means I jab myself less.
I also bought Smart Stix circulars and a crochet hook. I steamed the circular cord over the tea kettle and it loosened up right away. The crochet hook is beautiful to look at and serves it’s function.
As usual, Jimmy Beans Wool’s customer service and delivery was top-notch. One set of circulars in my order was out of stock. JBW sent an email to find out if I wanted my partial order sent. I did and the missing needles came in just a few days.
I live in a yarn shop desert so mostly all of my yarn and needle buying is done online. I buy from just two or three shops, including Jimmy Beans Wool. I think from this review, it is easy to see why they are usually number one on my shop list.
Good work Jimmy Beans Wool and I will be back to buy more Smart Stix because Dang! That really IS Smart!
