When I started again two months ago with the socks knitting, I've bought bamboo knitting needles. I found really great compared to the metal knitting needles previously used. But this product tops both. The surface is silky smooth as the bamboo needles, but not so slippery / sticky like metal needles. When knitting nothing klickert, and the "look and feel" completely convincing. The needles are always lukewarm, nothing invites to electrically and they are just, unlike my admittedly rather inexpensive bamboo needles. So far I have not be able to notice that they bend by knitting. The two sets of six thinnest knitting needles in it, so you have reserve when times really a durchknackst (happened to me with bamboo needles), the rather high price I think is justified, the product is very high quality. Only the plastic bag looks cheap and has an unpleasant odor.
