| Bamboo is technically a grass from Asis and India and is the fastest growing plant on earth, making it a very good renewable resource. Bamboo knitting needles are flexible, strong, and are not as slick as metal needles making them easier for beginners and less likely to drop them while knitting. They are lighter than metal needles of the same size, feel more comfortable in the hands, often cheaper and usually come in a wider variety of sizes. Bamboo knitting needles also come in a single point, double point or circular and don’t split yarn as easy as other types of knitting needles. |
