I’ve found my new ‘precious’ and it’s the Hiya Hiya Steel Sharp interchangeable needles.
And I might have been a tad impatient, although I did a great job of not showing that. You see… the past few weeks, our mail person has been arriving much later. Perhaps it’s tied into the Christmas holidays, since more packages are being distributed? Last evening, we didn’t receive our mail until 6:00 p.m.
I must say I was impressed by Hiya Hiyas needle case. Of course, the packaging won’t make a crappy product better, but that wasn’t the case here. Having already knit with the Hiya Hiya needles that arrived Saturday, I know these needles are amazing, and so the extra attention that was given to the needles case makes it even better.
I really love this case, it’s small, compact, and beautifully stitched.
When you open the case you’ll find the needles, and also you’ll see a zippered pouch… it’s the perfect size for storing knitting notions.
When you flip the case over, you’ll see another zippered pouch. This is where the interchangeable cables are stored. Four cables are included with this set; 18″/46cm, 26″/66cm, 34″/86cm, 42″/106cm.
I must say, looking at this bag has given me some ideas for making a more lovely bag for my Knit Picks Options needles. My Knit Picks bag is a long work in progress (WIP) I started embroidering part of the design a few months ago.
Yarn Bazaar, you’ve done an awesome job. I ordered this set later Thursday afternoon, you even noted my case preference (red) and it’s what I received today. You even added a free gift; square knitting needles. Even if you didn’t toss in a freebie, you’ve gained a repeat customer, and that has everything to do with your quick responses to my email. Good customer service, quality product, and speedy delivery… you can’t beat that.
OMG! I totally know what you mean! That’s how my VeganEssentials Order was and I was really trying my best to be patient but I was so excited I couldn’t contain myself! LOL. These sound neat and I don’t know anything about fibers/fiber crafting! I also love the holders! I remember the purple one you posted and loved that but I think I like the red one even better!

Hi @Jennifer, Well if you ever decide to knit, I highly recommend the Hiya Hiya needles, if you want a metal pair. I don’t spend too much money on myself, but when it comes to crafts, I will opt for a good quality product, since I know it will get a lot of use from me. The majority of the items I make are given to others, and so the tools are my gift. It makes sense to ensure I that the tools I use are awesome! 😉
