Product Description

On sale are 14 sets of premium quality double-point bamboo knitting needles. Each set includes 5 pcs of needles 9" long in sizes US 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 10.5, 11, 13 and 15. Sizes in US and metric are permanently etched onto the needles by laser. These needles are exclusively distributed by "Oriental Touch LLC" at Amazon under the brand name of "Stanwood". They are uniquely different from other mass produced needles because (1) The moso bamboo used to make these needles is hand picked from a grove locally known to produce the hardest bamboo culm; (2) The needle points are shaped by automated blades to create uniformly shaped needles; (3) These needles are naturally finished by the finest sanding paper. Their smoothness is natural, comfortable and very different from fake smoothness created by lacquering (short cut to cover up underneath roughness). We are so confident with our product that we offer a very generous return policy. If our product does not meet your expectations, simply return to us within 30 days from the date of delivery. We will refund your entire payment INCLUDING shipping and handling. Your satisfaction is our highest priority. Besides 9" needles, we also offer 5", 6", 7", and 8" of various sizes for sale.

Customer Reviews

Great buy for the money
I purchased these needles in 3 lengths and was delighted. They are well made and feel good in my hands. There is some resistance in the wood, so they are great for making socks and hats where stitches slipping off the needle are a problem. The tips are well formed, but could stand to be a little more pointed. For the cost they are an excellent buy.

9" Double Point Bamboo knitting needles
These needles are quite good. They are not finished (as Clover dbl pts are), but with a bit of carnuba wax, they are perfect. They seem to have a tendency to splinter a bit, but that is because I haven't had the time to wax all of them. I do like them and they definitely enhance my needle collection.

Decent quality for bargain bamboo needles
If you've tried knitting socks or small hats with steel double-pointed needles, you've probably experienced the frustration of having a needle slip out and clatter to the floor. Bamboo needles are one solution. The slight grip to the wooden surface prevents needle-slip, and the warm texture is nicer to work with than cold steel.

The downside to wood needles is the cost. This entire set of bamboo DPNs for one low price seemed too good to be true. On inspection I found that while the quality of the finish isn't quite up to the silky smoothness of Takumi Clover bamboo needles, it comes pretty close. The extra grip would be a plus for slippery fibers like silk, "soy silk," and linen.
