A GREAT SET OF KNITTING NEEDLES MADE FROM BAMBOO.   BAMBOO CAN BE HARVESTED IN AS LITTLE AS 3-4 MONTHS (COMPARED TO STANDARD TREES WHICH CAN TAKE 20+ YEARS), MAKING IT A HIGHLY SUSTAINABLE MATERIAL.  THE NEEDLES HAVE A GRADUAL TAPER TO THEM (MAKING IT HARDER FOR STITCHES TO FALL OFF THE TIPS)  AND THEY ARE NICE AND WARM TO TOUCH.
