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!

The media could not be loaded. 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.

*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.

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!

ProsLove the Colors and there are so many in a box! I'll probably never need markers again.The case they come in seems durable and keeps the markers securely in their place.Opens nicely in case you need to slip it on a stitch instead of the needlesholds securely together, like a safety pin.Sharp tip.Cons?The only con I have is sometimes I'm worried the markers will scratch my needles. These are metal and can feel a bit harsh.They also get turned around very easily. The narrow part can get stuck on the bottom of the needle and it causes a break in the flow of your work when one side doesn't pull up onto the working needle properly.However, the cons aren't really a deal breaker for me. I would certainly buy these again, if I ever run out.

These bulb markers are great for marking sections in your knitting, to count rows, etc. Placed carefully, they do not annoy me or the yarn. This huge box should last as long as my stash! Cheerful colors and handy for lots of uses.

They work as intended good quality metal so its flexible but still keeps its shape. Im a huge fan of these stitch markers

Great value for the price. I've been able to use these stitch markers on lace projects up to super bulky. No issues with color coatings rubbing off. The latch stays closed in my project bag and the pins do not mix up much with movement. I use them regularly with no issues.
