If you are really into this, why not consider buying bamboo double pointed knitting needles from eBay. They come in 5, 6, 7 or 8" lengths and cost a bit more but you may be surprised at the prices. These have been finished for knitting, so may be worth the savings in time and frustration.-----
Double-pointed knitting needles in fine sizes makes sense. But why not go for wood ones instead of bamboo? Then there's no worry about the fibers that bamboo can give off. Double-points generally come in 5" (12.5 cm), 6" (15 cm), and 8" (20 cm). The long ones could be cut in half for 2 short-ish bobbins so they would be less expensive than the shorter ones. Robin P.
