I still consider myself somewhat of a recent knitter and while I’ve tried a few materials I’ve not quite settled on any particularly. I got the cheapest set of interchangeable needles I could get locally (KnitPro Trendz) which is acrylic and I already had to buy a spare because I broke one needle when I accidentally sat on it 😂

Now that I’m realizing knitting in the round is kinda my thing (as I’ve not touched a regular needle since getting said set) I’m wondering if it’d be worth to upgrade and if a change in material would improve my knitting experience at all?

I’d love to read any input and/or recommendations from more experienced knitters :)

I have KnitPro, Lantern Moon and Chiaogoo sets available locally.

    I don’t have interchangeable, but I do have a couple 16" Chiaogoo needles and I love them. I imagine the interchangeables use the same cable. Like one of the other responders, I can only use steel needles rather than bamboo or wood. I use Chiaogoo DPNs as well. I want the interchangeable set but it’s expensive, and I haven’t been able to convince myself that I’ll use all of the sizes.
