Review on 🧶 Clover 3016/16-07 Takumi Bamboo Circular Knitting Needles, Size 7 - 16-Inch Length for Effortless Knitting by Carol Miller

I have been knitting for many years although not an expert. I was always using plastic or metal needles until the shop owner suggested trying bamboo needles. They were a size 4 with a double lace for a mitten project and I really liked them. In this smaller size they are a bit flexible which takes a little getting used to but I really enjoyed knitting them. Building on that success, I decided to try this #7 circular needle for my current project, a winter hat. The larger needle is not flexible, but bamboo is really easy to work with. It's lightly polished so the yarn glides over it, but not much. Maybe different yarn types react differently to bamboo needles; maybe that's why some users have problems, but my 2 projects so far have been with wool yarn (partly mohair) and these needles are perfect. They're also lightweight, so your hands won't get tired. I love bamboo needles and this round one is perfect for my needs.
