I am a craft monster! You name it I probably have done it once if not more. But the craft that I have the most hours in over the years is crocheting. I can tell up front the price is a lot cheaper than I have seen and they are quality, firm needles. This pack is also terrific for keeping all your needles in one place. So for the pros and just the beginners alike these are an excellent buy! I do recommend these needles and well done to the seller!
