Bamboo Knitting Needles  

Here at Wild and Woolly we highly recommend knitting with bamboo needles. Experience the smooth, lightweight feel and warmth of Clover’s Takumi Bamboo Knitting Needles. The more you knit with Clover’s needles, the more you’ll love to knit. Each Clover Bamboo knitting needle has a high quality, smooth finish, and a perfect needlepoint. Only the finest top quality material of bamboo is used to make Clover knitting needles. Try Clover’s Bamboo Knitting Needles for a life long knitting experience.

Why Use Bamboo? 

Knitting with bamboo needles is a whole new knitting experience. With Clover’s unique processing technique, Takumi needles make for smooth knitting right from the start. Bamboo needles seem to glide off each other and provide for an incredibly smooth yarn feed. The more you knit with them, the smoother they become to the touch. And they’re quiet too! Also, bamboo is lightweight. They are 60% lighter than aluminium needles of the same size, so your hand doesn’t tire even after long hours of knitting. One other feature you’ll love is that bamboo needles feel very comfortable in the hand, unlike some plastic and aluminium needles.

Nurtured by Nature

 

We have a wide range of Nurtured by Nature baby wear in the shop. The majority is 100% cotton, as we are coming into warmer weather. We also stock Nurtured by Nature baby wear in 100% pure NZ merino wool.

Nurtured by Nature Cotton is very soft, which is why it is a perfect choice to sit next to your baby’s skin. Cotton is a natural product, it does not contain any chemicals and it is hypoallergenic. Cotton breathes, so it is cool for your baby to wear and does not retain body odours or trap bacteria.

Happy Knitting,

Fran, Laura, and Justine.
