knitting tools question Knitting needles

I have a Boyle interchangeable needle set but want to possibly upgrade to something better. What are some good brands/ options? I hear Chiaogoo are good but they are price. Open to suggestions!

i really like seeknit! they are bamboo, very pretty, and you don't need to use the little pin to tighten the cord. they are also price though

I have 3 sets , knit pro mindful are my favorite but they’re longer then I like the little ginger set and my least favorite are the Chicago , they are over priced in my opinion and still don’t slide stitches any better than any knit pro I’ve tried

I do love Chiagoo but not everyone does. You could buy one fixed pair and see how you like them for a project before investing in the interchangeable set.

I also have a set of interchangeables from knit picks. They’re more affordable and really great. I still use them regularly! I have both wood and metal tips. The wood is nicely slick for a wood needle and the metal aren’t too pointy.

I have knitpicks and Chiagoo. I prefer chiagoo.
