6" Double Point Knitting Needles, Bamboo

The bamboo is so light it almost disappears in my fingers, but the points grip the yarn just right for socks. My mittens came out with perfectly even tension, and the needles bend just enough to keep my hands from cramping during long rows.

The bamboo surface is noticeably smoother than the metal needles I used before, and the slight give in the wood makes those tight sock stitches much easier on my wrists. I’ve already cast on three pairs of gloves and the points haven’t dulled a bit.

The bamboo is so light and smooth that my hands don’t cramp up even after a long sock-knitting session, and the needles flex just enough to keep the tension forgiving. I’ve already finished two pairs of gloves with them and they’ve held up beautifully.
