What reviewers say

Clover Chibi Darning Needle Set

Knitters who use the Chibi generally like the bent tips for weaving in ends and the tidy case that keeps needles together. Some find the smallest size too short for bulky yarn and wish the set had more needles.

What people mention
  • Bent tipsPraisedOwners say the curve makes it easier to pick up stitches and weave in ends without catching the fabric.
  • CaseMixedThe screw-cap tube keeps needles together, but several owners find it small and easy to misplace.
  • Needle sizesMixedThe three sizes cover most yarn weights, though some want a fourth or a longer needle for bulky projects.
  • BuildPraisedThe steel needles resist bending through repeated use.

Questions and answers

Which is better for weaving in ends on a crochet blanket?
The Clover Chibi set. Its bent tips slide under stitches more easily, and size 13 handles bulky blanket yarn. The Dritz set works too, but straight tips take more effort on tight fabric.
Which set has more needles for the money?
Dritz. You get 7 needles for $2.59 at Lancaster Home & Fabric as of November 5, 2026, against 3 needles for $5.99 at Michigan Fine Yarns.
Do the Dritz needles work for plastic canvas and Swedish weaving?
Yes. Dritz lists yarn darners for needle arts, plastic canvas and Swedish weaving, and the large eyes take craft yarn.
Is the Clover set worth the extra cost?
Only if you want bent tips and the case. If you just need straight darners in common sizes, the Dritz pack costs less and gives you more needles.
Can I return the Clover set if it does not suit me?
No. Michigan Fine Yarns lists it as final sale and non-returnable, so check the sizes before you buy.
