Thanks for your tip about ‘oiling’ the bamboo needles. I have a block of wax I use for bookbinding but I wonder if a rub through waxed paper would apply less wax and give a more even coverage.

Good idea though, thanks :)

Best wishes

Billie :)

The problem of the yarn not moving fluidly over the bamboo can easily be improved on by either waxing the needles or using a silicone spray….. conservatively, and buffing to remove any excess. The stitches still behave well on them. Love em!

I have several pairs of wooden needles.. very large diameter ones…and I don’t have a dexterity problem but after a time they do make your hands ache as they are heavy.
Happy to hear you like using them Billie :)

Hugs
Lynn
