Buy ThinkBamboo 12.5" Single Point Bamboo Knitting Needles - 15 sizes

Customer Ratings:

Got these recently and I love them so far! Much warmer, and MUCH lighter than the similar metal hooks that I've been using for years. I wish I had bought these sooner. They are really smooth, but might occasionally have a small spot that is rough, but so far, after using 3 different sizes, no catches or snags. Rubbing wax paper will smooth them out if they start to get rough. Some of them were slightly warped, but none were broken. Warping is expected with a natural product at such a tiny diameter, but it does not detract from the usefulness of the smaller sizes.

One thing though, keep an eye on them, or hide them from the pets as they have a familiar 'wooden stick' odor, and the dog (our adult anyway) had an inclination to steal them off my workspace and start chewing them. Luckily I caught her soon enough that she didn't do any damage. (PHEW!) I have these needles, the crochet hooks, and the 9" DPN's all in carbonized finish.

I would absolutely buy from this seller again, the product came from upper-mid-west to New England in less than a week with super saver shipping, and they were packed fairly well.

I use these a lot and am very happy with them! They are smooth to my hands and hold stitches perfectly. After using these for some time now I have found I hate using my aluminum needles.

Honest reviews on ThinkBamboo 12.5" Single Point Bamboo Knitting Needles - 15 sizes

I am a novice knitter. These needles are a great value and make a good starter set. Having all of the sizes readily available has enabled me to take on projects I otherwise wouldn't have attempted.

Description

There are 15 pairs of bamboo needles. The sizes are clearly etched onto the side of each needle. Each pair of needles comes individually packaged, making it easy to keep track of them.

Quality

I have used needles sizes 4-13 with cotton, acrylic, and cotton blend yarns. The needles are smooth, lightweight and comfortable to use. They initially felt delicate compared to metal needles, but are actually very sturdy. Even the smaller sizes hold up well under the weight of a project.

The needles have good traction, but at the same time the yarn moves easily when I want it to. Rubbing them with oil makes it even easier to slide the yarn along the needle. As noted in some of the other reviews, the needles aren't perfectly straight-many have a slight bow shape to them. However, this is a purely cosmetic issue. I haven't found that the curve affects the finished product at all.

The needle tips are more rounded than pointed and taper slowly, which I like. I have used them with stockinette, ribbed, and basic lace patterns and find the taper gives me more room to work, making it easier to perform complicated stitches and keep my tension even.

Overall, I've been very pleased with this purchase and would buy them again.

These knitting needles were a big disappointment. The ends are fairly blunt, which makes it hard for newbie knitter like me to get them through the loops. Also, at least one pair has splinters at the tip! I could easily get a splinter if I wasn't careful.
