I have all kinds but I am finding that I really like using the addi turbos (metal) the yarn just glides over them. I have bamboo in every size possible and am slowy adding stock of the Addi turbos. If at all possible I work on circular needles instead of 4 needles. It just seems to prevent any lag where needles change and if you are worried about tension work inside out.
circular and metal. i like zings and also Hiya hiya sharps. Hoping to get a full set soon but I currently have a set of knit picks metal interchangeables. i absolutely love interchangeables
I love my Knitters Pride Platina CUBICS Special interchangeable tips. The specials are 3.5" long and can be used to make a 16" circ and my gauge is much more even using the cube (square) shape. I dislike wooden needles and much prefer a really pointy metal tip.
Yo utilizo agujas circulares de plástico y de bambú.. Desde que las probé no utilizo otras, antes utilizaba las rectas pero si estaba mucho tiempo tejiendo me dolían las manos y muñecas muchísimo, con estas ni me entero..
I prefer interchangeable needles and the material of the needle tips that I choose depends on the fiber content of the yarn. Smoother needles (like metal) for non-slick yarns, and bamboo or wood for slicker yarns. I almost never use straight needles for anything but I do use dpns for things like the crowns of hats. Generally, my favorites are Karbonz,or other carbon fiber needles, but again, it depends on the fiber content of the yarn.
