Bamboo is rough and easily sticks to yarn. It seems to me that the tree is unfinished. The tips are unnecessarily sharp and the wire-to-wire connection is not smooth. I would recommend spending a few bucks more for metal pins or more polished wooden pins. In this situation, you get what you pay for. While cheaper yarn can still make a nice finished project, cheap tools don't.
