Boye Plastic Darning Needles vs JubileeYarn Plastic Yarn Needles Set

Both are blunt plastic yarn needles for finishing work, and the choice comes down to quantity versus size. The JubileeYarn set gives you six needles in assorted sizes, which suits anyone who knits or crochets regularly and wants the right needle for each yarn weight. The Boye needles are large and sold in a small pack, so they suit thick yarn and loose gauge, but owners say they run bigger than expected. Neither is a precision tool; both are light plastic and fine for seaming, weaving in ends and kitchener stitches.

• Choose the Boye Plastic Darning Needles if you work mostly with bulky yarn or roving and want a single large-eye needle that threads thick strands easily.
• Choose the JubileeYarn Plastic Yarn Needles Set if you want several sizes on hand for different yarn weights and projects.
