450pcs 15 Colors Assorted Bulb Safety Pins Pear Shaped Pins Metal Safety Pins Knitting Stitch Markers Sewing Making with Storage Box (Multicolor-450Pcs)

There are 15 colors in this box: 5 metallics; a 6-part rainbow; black white, and pink and lavender. These enable color-coded marking of elaborate patterns, which is very handy for long and/or complex designs. My box was sturdy and the compartments were molded in, so there was minimal drift of any color into another color's compartment. The markers are very slender- far more slender than the plastic ones. This is especially useful for lace knitting, since the plastic markers can make the loops too loose. The ends of these are very sharp, which may lead to scratching of the needles, and requires some care to make sure they do not split the yarn. Still, these sharp points make it easier to use in delicate places, like lace knitting, as long as one is careful. I am very pleased with these!

I use these for stitch markers for my knitting and they work great! I love the color variety and they are quite cost effective. I also have the locking purple and white Knit Picks plastic stitch markers. The Knit Picks ones are more expensive (currently $2.50 for 20), and this size only comes in those two colors. If the Knit Picks ones had more colors, I'd probably stick with those just because the plastic blunt/soft edges are easier on my fingers to open and close. In the video clip I uploaded, I think you can see how much easier the plastic one was for me to open. I tend to use my Knit Picks stitch markers more often if I only need a few for a project. If I'm knitting a sweater or blanket with a lot of repeats I need to keep track of, I use these metal ones to mark each repeat. It's nice to have different color options if you've got to differentiate stitches or sections along the way. Because they're thinner, they do sometimes slip between the stitch and end up on the wrong side though. It's easy to pull it back through the right way, but it's a bit tedious and I never have that problem with the Knit Picks stitch markers. Overall, these are fine and I use them all the time. I still gave them 5 stars.

I am absolutely glad I bought this collection of lightbulb stitch markers. All of the colors are great and the markers themselves feel very sturdy, not flimsy at all. Def recommend!

I really like that there is a nice variety of colors, as this will definitely make multiple markings on the same knitting project a lot easier. The price seems a bit high, but the variety of colors makes up for it. I DID NOT LIKE the fact that the plastic container did NOTHING AT ALL to keep the pins in place! It was a HOT MESS when it arrived! ALL of the pins were completely mixed together, and I had to spend quite a bit of time sorting them into their own colors and putting them back. The plastic container has individual separation panels that slide in and out, which, is a good idea in theory, but simply doesn't work for pins this small. the pins slide both over and under the little panels, as the lid and the bottom of the container bows out, which allows the pins to freely mix together, making the separation panels completely useless. I'll probably end up taking all the pins out again, gluing the bottoms and the sides of the separation panels in place, to help, though they will still be able to mix from the top, due to the lid not closing flush across the top of the individual compartments across the box. Product did arrive in a very timely manner, which I do appreciate very much. Just know that the container REALLY has issues, and I think that we, as consumers, have a RIGHT TO KNOW WHAT WE ARE GETTING. The container may or may not bother everyone, but at least the issue will be known to others.

Loved them, I've used them for crochet stitch markers. They're colored well, easy to use and I really love that they have been great for my micro work and regular work. I forget my count within seconds, makers help tremendously and these have been a great help.

So much cheaper than getting them at my local yarn shop. I suspect that these would be too small for certain larger needle diameters, but I haven't had a problem with them so far. They lock into place very securely which is good because the tips are super sharp. And they fit in the cord tightening holes, so I can use them as cable ends if I want which is the real reason I bought these.

I really like this set of bulb pins. First, they aren't expensive at all. They come in this cute box that holds each color separately. And the bulb pins are good quality. I use them mostly for knitting markers, and I like having lots of color choices so I can use different colors to denote different things. I like to put a marker do separate each pattern repeat, and then use another color to indicate the end of the round. They fit well over needles size 7 or smaller. In my opinion. I don't know how sharp they are, I don't really use them as pins. But I like that they open, so I can place them anywhere on the round.

*Exactly* as I expected: Lots of tiny markers, neatly sorted by color, in a small, snug compartmentalized box. And they arrived earlier than expected. The markers are light-weight & tiny. They let me mark critical stitches in my project without stretching or breaking the yarn. Realistically, Lightbulb markers *are* fiddly because they're light & tiny. They may not be "sturdy" or "easy to use," but they are undeniably useful. If I ever run out of them (it'll take a while to wear out, or lose, 450 markers) I'll buy them again.
