Knitter’s Pride Ginger Interchangeable Knitting Needles – A Review

Meet the newest interchangeable knitting needle set from Knitter’s Pride – Ginger! Unsurprisingly, my first thought upon seeing this set of knitting needles in person was, “Ooh, pretty!” because they really are. For this review, I took a look at the Ginger Interchangeable Deluxe Circular Needle Set, which has so much going on, but in a good way. There are 13 needle sizes included, more than mosts sets out there. The beautiful case has a magnetic lining on one side, so it doubles as a pattern/chart holder that makes keeping your place easy as you work. And that’s just the start – keep on scrolling for a closer look & a breakdown of the whole Ginger set!

The average retail price I’m seeing for this set is $130, which makes it a little bit of an investment in your knitting. What I’ll say is this: I got my first interchangeable circular set when my hobby knitting journey had developed to the point where I just got sick of having to run to JoAnn or my local yarn shop (LYS) for another needle or length of needle every time I wanted to cast something on. With interchangeable circular knitting needles, you’ll almost always have the perfect tool on hand for starting a project, even if it’s at 2 in the morning on a whim. 😉

The thing with investing in an interchangeable needle set is that you better like the way the needles feel to work with because you’re about to have the same cords & tips in a BUNCH of sizes. Having knit a bit with this Ginger set so far, I can say that they have an even finish that’s really smooth, the cord-to-tip join (which can be “catchy” on your yarn, depending on the set in question) is smooth, and that wide size range is nice.
