Review on 🧢 ChiaoGoo Circular 16 inch (41cm) Bamboo Dark Patina Knitting Needle Size US 13 (9mm) 2016-13 - High-Quality Bamboo Knitting Needle for Smooth and Easy Knitting by Wendy Rodriguez

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Pretty but super spicy!

These are pretty good needles but I have two complaints: 1. Super sharp points. This bothered me as I had been knitting for a while before I stumbled across this (haha, it was typed as an idiom, but also literally). I thought about sanding the dots but didn't think I had enough fine sandpaper to get it right. I was wearing jeans so I figured the simple movement of the lace across the jeans should help tame them. Surprise! I got caught and almost ripped my jeans, they are so hot. Everything seemed fine as I ran along the seams of the jeans and made some progress in removing the harshness. 2. The metal has a corner that will affect smooth use. I understand this probably means my tension is too tight, but hey, this is how I knit. I don't have this problem with my Clover Takumis so I prefer this brand for now.

Pros
  • Freehand
Cons
  • Very expensive
