Excellent
If you have painful fingers these Bamboo Needles are the way forward, they are flexible (although if you are heavy handed they do tend to snap) but that's only the little needles, but I love them had would never go back to steel or plastic.

Not for me.
Bought after recommendations from a knitting/ crochet group I belong to. I’ve knitted garment with them but I don’t think I like them.
They look nice, feel smooth to touch and are lightweight. However, despite the smooth feel, I find they are ‘sticky’, in that the yarn does not slide easily along the shaft and I can feel the points ‘grating’ on one another when going through the stitch. It really slows me down.
From the group I know that other people love them but they’re not for me.

Beautiful knitting needles
If you can't use metal needles because of arthritis these are the things to have. They slide easier - are a joy to use - have excellent points and are extremely light to knit with.

Practical and stylish
Very nice knitting needles - a lot easier and more comfortable than metal knitting needles. They feel more pliable than their metal counterparts, warm to hold and a nice length. I'll be changing all my knitting needles to bamboo ones as they are so pleasant to knit with!

Perfect for arthritis sufferers
Bought for my 80yr old mother who suffers from arthritis. They're perfect. Wool moves smoothly on the needles, they're light and easy to hold. Only reason this isn't 5-star is I've recently bought them so don't know how long they'll last.

Pleased I bought them, I’m enjoying them.
I bought these on a whim and overall very pleased with them. They are lightweight and smooth so the stitches glide easily. The only point worth mentioning is that they are quite sharp (that may lesson with time perhaps?), so if you use your finger pressed to the tip of the needle to move your along, that’s uncomfortable. I soon stopped doing that and now use another method so it’s fine. However, because the points are sharp, they can split the wool more easily than conventional metal needles.

Perfect for beginners
I’ve been loom knitting for 4 years and decided to try straight needle knitting. I bought some thick wool and these and got to work and knitted a scarf perfectly. Very pleased.
