addiClick Bamboo Review – Interchangeable Knitting Needles with Natural Warmth
There is something uniquely calming about knitting with bamboo, and the addiClick Bamboo set captures that beautifully. When I first opened the fabric case and saw the smooth Japanese bamboo tips, it felt like a lighter, more natural option compared to metal or wood. The needles bring a gentle warmth that makes knitting feel softer and more mindful.
First Impressions – Light and Balanced
The set includes eight pairs of tips, ranging from 3.5mm to 8.0mm, covering most everyday knitting needs. The bamboo is finely polished so that stitches glide smoothly without sticking, but with enough grip to give confidence when working with fibres such as silk or alpaca. At 12.5cm in length, the tips are versatile and comfortable for both circular knitting and flat projects with higher stitch counts.
Why Knitters Appreciate This Set
The three cords included, measuring 60cm, 80cm and 100cm, cover a wide range of project sizes. With connectors, they can be extended for larger pieces like blankets or oversized shawls. The addiClick system functions just as smoothly as with the metal sets, making it quick to change tips or cords with no tools and no snagging joins. The balance of control and lightness in the bamboo tips is what makes them stand out to me.
Everyday Knitting Experience
This set feels especially comfortable during long knitting sessions. The bamboo is lightweight and kind to the hands, reducing fatigue over time. The compact case is travel-friendly and holds everything securely without adding bulk to a project bag. While it may not include as many extras as some other sets, it has all the essentials needed to begin knitting right away.
Final Thoughts – A Natural Alternative
The addiClick Bamboo set is a wonderful option for knitters who enjoy the feel of natural materials. It is sustainable, versatile and beautifully balanced, bringing a calming quality to every project. For me, it is a refreshing alternative to metal needles, while still offering the flexibility and reliability that I expect from addi.
