Question:

what are the differences in bamboo knitting needles?

i am wanting to buy some bamboo needles and need a little adviceshould I look for needles that are carbonized or will they be soft and harder to work with? or are waxed needles the way to go? i read that lacquered needles can have a lot of imperfectionsif anyone has any recommendations, they would be appreciated.

Answer:

usually getting a lot of fiber after being without gives you the poops, not constipationYour body will process fiber just fineDrink plenty of water as fiber needs more when it digests.
It rather depends on what fiber you plan to knit with, tooBamboo and wood needles tend to have more tooth or grab to them with the yarn and are best for plant and man-made fibers, rather than animal fibers (other than silk)The cheapest ones tend to split and splinter, though, and bamboo splinters are wicked sharpYour best bet is to buy a pair of the style you prefer (personally, for bamboos I'd suggest Clover or, if you have the money, Addi Naturas) as the best knitting and smoothest needles.
