Great circs! I love all the lengths and size combos they have available. They even had my size 7 40" which I had a hard time finding :) Knit smooth and the cable is flexible enough. Although there are some needles out there that I prefer, for the price you can't beat this product!

i recently started knitting socks and i love the Hiya Hiya for the flexible cord and the fact that the bamboo warms up in my hand and becomes easier to work with.

The "slip" of yarns on these bamboo needles is perfect, not to slick, and neither does the yarn get hung up and not slide well down the needle onto the cord. I find them very easy and comfortable to work with. Thanks for offering them in many lengths!

I u se these for knitting shawls. I love the needles because they are well made, the join is smooth, the cord is flexible without being flimsy and doesn't kink. The needles have some texture without being rough and unlike most bamboo needles, they hold up pretty well to my cat trying to chew on them. The resin in the bamboo makes it sturdy without making it feel like plastic.

Hiya-Hiyas circs are a good quality needle at a decent price. They're well built, have a good cable for knitting in the round or knitting larger sized projects. The bamboo they use is lightweight and feel good in the hand.
Hiya-Hiyas are sanded down and varnished so they're smooth beneath the fingers. I also like how the wood heats up beneath your fingertips as you knit.
I did have a little bit of trouble with the cable coiling on itself while I was knitting, but that can easily be solved by either using the needle and putting some weight on the cable or the hot water trick.
Unbelievably fast shipping -- I live out in a small town, far from any shipping hub. Despite that, I ordered in the late afternoon on a Thursday and had my yarn by Monday afternoon. To say I was pleased with how fast Alpaca Direct is with fulfilling orders would be a massive understatement.
