The ones I got (Creativity Street Chenille Stems/Pipe Cleaners 12 Inch x 6mm 100-Piece, Assorted Colors) are cheap - the material sheds quickly and the ends of the wire poke out. Within a few seconds of bending and twisting a couple, small tufts of the material were falling into my hands and leaving bare areas on the wire. The ends of the wire are very noticeable and sharply poked my toddler constantly. When my toddler would wave it around, it definitely left some scratches on skin. Had to twist the ends onto themselves, to try to hide and soften the ends. Will not buy again.
