I saw an image of some Lykke needles that didn’t look like the wood (driftwood) ones but were black and looked metallic. Has anyone seen these or know anything about them as I found them quite attractive. There was no info on what they were called, etc.

Thanks!

This is their statement on their website: "Made of strong birch wood, the LYKKE Driftwood needles are very smooth and light."  They obviously dye the wood for the finish.  Wooden needles tend to 'grab' the yarn.  This is not always the best choice for all yarns.  However, the same goes for metal needles, they tend to 'slip'.  So it depends on what your choice is for knitting.  I prefer the metal myself.

According to their website at lykkecrafts(dot)com, they have a set called umber that has some black needles. It looks like more of a darker wood that sometimes looks black.

That being said, the Lykke cords can be fiddly and can bend easily. But definitely a more affordable option than Chiagoo
