Suitable knitting needles

Hi everyone,
I have another question today:
Do you use special (circular) knitting needles for mohair yarn—in terms of needle material, tip, etc.?

I’d like to knit a thin summer cardigan with raglan sleeves using Silkhair by Lana Grossa. To get used to knitting with mohair yarn again (it’s different from sock yarn and the like), I bought two skeins to start with and am knitting a “Loop” pattern using double strands. For this, I’m using addi Kolibri needles with extra-fine lace tips.

Thanks so much for your advice, and best wishes from Carola

I don’t use any special needles at all. I prefer to knit with bamboo needles, and I use those for mohair, too.

Hi Vroni,
I’ll do that. I already have quite a few bamboo needles and think they’re great. Now I need to get some new circular needles for the mohair cardigan project and wasn’t sure if I absolutely had to get ones with a lace tip. I picked out some from Chiagoo—let’s see how they are ;-).
Have a sunny weekend, and best wishes, Carola
