All In a Night's Work
Dynasty Brand Bamboo needles available only in 10" length from Smiley's in US 3-US 10.5. This is not a commercial!
I bought one pair to try and find them to be adequate. At $1.99 a pair (plus shipping), they are a bargain. Very sharp points, light weight, a little rough, but I suspect that use and/or a rub down will take care of that.
These would make good "beginner" needles for folks who need lots (for a class of kids?) but don't want to go the make-them-yourself-from-dowels route. I will be getting more, even though I prefer circulars. These are nice.
Warning: Smiley's has a $30 minimum and a flat shipping rate ($9.95). They will ship only to the lower 48 US states. There's no point in whining.
Double Warning: Do not follow that link unless you are prepared to be enticed by closeout yarns at very, very good prices!

I can speak very highly of the Filatura Lanarota cotton blends in the $1.99 section, and the Saucy Sport @ $2.50 is an exceptionally fine deal. . .
