Review on ChiaoGoo Knitting Needles 9 inch Straight Bamboo Dark Patina US 10.5 (6.5mm) Bundle + Artsiga Crafts Stitch Holder by Amanda Castillo

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The seams do not stick like metal.

I am knitting a baby blanket. They are long enough to cast on 200 stitches with thick yarn. Wood makes knit and purl loops smooth.

Pros
  • ChiaoGoo Bamboo Needles are made from Chinese Moso Bamboo, the largest and strongest bamboo of over 1000 different species; dark needles with patina undergo additional heat treatment to get a darker color (dyes or paints are not used to get a more saturated color); The glasses are handmade by highly skilled craftsmen
Cons
  • Not as thick as other picks
