Buy 14" (35cm) Knitter's Pride Karbonz Single Point Knitting Needles
I am quite enamored of these needles. The smaller sizes are particularly great accidentally sitting on and splintering a bamboo size 3 which was half of a pair is not a good thing. These Karbonz are very sturdy and seem unlikely to warp. They are nice and smooth. Lighter colored yarn in particular shows up well on these needles. I am building up quite a collection of Karbonz in different sizes. Treat yourself to a pair I bet you will want more.I ordered carbon fiber knitting needles because they sound awesome. And they are. They're black with nice pointy metal tips, and they will not bend or break easily. I am a little bummed that they're similar to plastic needles: the yarn sticks to them, and they get warm in your hands. And they're so inflexible that they're a little hard to use for someone like me who's used to rosewood and bamboo. But I still really like them, and I intend to get some more...but maybe just as circulars.
