bamboo needles

Wooden yarn tools

Bamboo needles are knitting needles made from bamboo rather than metal or plastic.

Knitters favor them for their warmth, light weight, and slight grip that keeps stitches from slipping: I switched to bamboo needles and my hands don't cramp as much.

They're quieter than metal needles and often preferred by beginners.
