HiyaHiya needles are engineered by a family factory in Shanghai. A brand with sharp points and slick stainless steel. They make interchangeables, circulars, and DPNs.
Straight knitting needles aren’t part of the range. How do they compare? See Chiaogoo vs Hiya Hiya.

Depending on the way you hold your needles, these may be too sharp for those who push the needle tips.
