Customer Reviews

Lisa F.

As an avid knitter, I've tried countless knitting needle brands over the years. But none compare in quality and comfort to Boye needles. I love their seamless aluminum circular and double pointed needles especially. The metal has the perfect smooth finish that prevents snags. The interchangeable sets are so versatile for all my projects. I can make everything from baby sweaters to chunky scarves without limiting my creativity. The cables are very flexible and the joins never come loose mid-project. The acrylic cases also keep the hooked ends from bending out of shape in my knitting bag. I knit daily and Boye needles stand the test of time. The clear size markings don't wear off with heavy use either. For precision, comfort, and convenience, Boye can't be beat! Their needles make knitting pure joy.

As a lifelong crocheter, I've developed very particular preferences when it comes to hooks. Boye meets all my needs. Their ergonomic handles promote less hand strain so I can crochet for hours without pain. The aluminum glides like butter and has the right flex without bending. The hook ends are tapered just right to grab threads smoothly. I own sets in every size and frequently give Boye hooks as gifts to convert my crochet friends. The rubber handles prevent slippage and come in fun colors too. For large projects, the in-line ergonomic handles reduce wrist strain. You can really tell Boye listens to crafters and designs each element intentionally to aid technique. My creations turn out flawless using their hooks. I won't use any other brand!

As a busy mom of three kids, crafting is my outlet for creativity and relaxation. I love that Boye products make it easy and accessible. Their blocking mats have been a game changer! The gridlines help me center projects perfectly to get straight edges. No more lumpy scarves and wrinkled blankets. Just interlocking the mats expands the surface so I can block large throws. The durable foam withstands plenty of pinning. I use the mats for knitting, crochet, and needlepoint. They hold up great with repeated use and wash easily when I spritz projects before reshaping. For the affordable price, Boye blocking mats have really leveled up my homemade gifts. Family always compliments how professional my projects look now. I feel so proud!

As someone new to knitting, I really appreciate how Boye's Learn to Knit Kits include everything I need in one package. The step-by-step guide starts with basics like casting on and knit/purl stitches. The accompany dvd is useful for visualizing techniques. I like practicing with the smooth acrylic yarn before moving onto rougher wool. The plastic needles are easy to maneuver as a beginner without dropping stitches. The kit takes out the guesswork of choosing supplies as a knitting newbie. I've gained confidence following the patterns to create a scarf and hat. Now I understand core techniques to advance to harder projects. Boye empowers beginners like me to stick with this rewarding hobby. I never feel intimidated or frustrated. I can't wait to gift my daughter her first handmade sweater!

As a weaver and textile artist, quality tools are essential for my art. Boye's rigid heddle looms help me create consistent, intricate patterns with ease. The pre-threaded heddles save so much time. Smoothly gliding the shuttle through the warp to change the weft threads is very intuitive. I can craft intricate tapestries, shawls, rugs, and more. The looms come in various sizes to complete different scaled projects. I like starting on the smaller lap looms when learning a new technique before moving to a larger standing loom. Boye looms hold tension reliably, preventing snapped warp threads. My custom creations come out with meticulous, beautiful patterns. I highly recommend these looms for both beginner and advanced fiber artists!
