8" Crystal Palace Bamboo Knitting Needles, Double-Pointed Size 11

I use to love my metal needles since I wanted speed and smoothness. These needles are incredibly smooth to knit with and have very nice points/tips. Now I use nothing else. I have not found any other bamboo needles that compare. They are warmer than metal and can help some people with arthritic problems, so that they can continue to enjoy the art of knitting. Using these needles are both good for the environment and a pure joy to use.
