Comments about Knitter's Pride Dreamz Fixed Circular Needles 47":

I usually dislike circular needles because they snag in the transition between the rigid tip and the flexible cable-- these absolutely do not! Also, the size number being etched on it is very helpful, no more keeping the original package or endlessly testing on a needle sizer. My one quibble is that the 47" length meant it came with several twists that were curly to work with, until I followed a "tip" to submerge the cable in very hot water for 10 seconds, then straighten and it has not curled since.

I especially like the longest for Shawls because they have sharp tips and hold many stitches

I purchased this for a specific project, a round blanket that would require a long circular for the outer rounds. The cable snapped at the join and the tip of the needle came off (leaving a mess of live stitches to rescue) and I had to switch to multiple shorter circulars and use them like dpns.

Great wooden needles. The points are nice and sharp, the joins are smooth going from the wood through to the cord. The cord isn't stiff and doesn't kink.

I bought this for a baby blanket knitting project, where the piece width is over 2 feet, hence the choice of circular needle.

I've tried one brand of interchangeable circular set and been disappointed at the tendency of the needle tips to loosen constantly, so I decided to try fixed. The join between the needle and cable is stable, at least - an improvement! - but it isn't smoothly finished enough to let my work slide from one to the other without resistance.

The finish on the wooden needle tips is also less smooth than I was expecting from the finish on my interchangeable wooden needle tips; it may be variations in different manufacturer's finishes, or a general point to be aware of with wood. I've considered applying a layer of clear top coat nail polish to the needles to try to improve the glide of the work, but I am too concerned with the possible effect on my current project to try it right away.

I am hoping that as I get further into the project the cable will loosen up and be more relaxed, but so far I have had to wrestle it a bit as it coils back on itself more stubbornly than I'd like.

It's possible that these problems for me would be advantages for someone else or for a different kind of project, so I'm giving it three stars. That said, I really can't recommend a tool that feels like it's fighting the pretty basic straightforward work I'm doing.

Dreamz needles are one of my favorites because the wood makes it easy for a novice to knit with. It's smooth but not slippery. The cable is very slim and flexible. I bought these needles to knit a cap with the magic loop method and I am very happy with my purchase.

Used for shawls and any long or wide knitting project. When traveling, I always use circular needles.

The only thing I would change is the color.

I use this length for magic loop projects like knitting 2 socks at a time.

The Dreamz needles are a good value and well made. The needle point is decent with a nice taper. I haven't yet pulled a cable from the needle attachment while knitting (something everyone has experienced with circulars!) and haven't had a needle snap in my hand (as I have with a more expensive circular needle)
