You can find them made of plastic, which are lighter than wood. I'm real interested in the yarn, though. The only ting I've ever seen that is that fat is rope. I'd love to see these in person to see how soft it is. The giant knitting needles are called “broomsticks”, and are often used for knitting items to be felted.

Goodness me!! I'm so showing this to my knitting guru and seeing what she says. I was so sad to see that’s how much they cost! Goodness me!!

I just wanted to point out that, yes, they are pricey, but the story behind FLOCKS is really nice and very sustainable. So, I do hope that those who can afford to, support the company. I believe you can also buy direct. Thanks for putting them on your site.

I saw a large handknit rug made by the same textile artist (http://www.theseflocks.com/index.html) and asked my dad to make me giant knitting needles. He did - out of solid wood, they're 1.5 in, in diameter and are the heaviest things in the world! Also, there was a great project where people made a 'house' out of knitted materials that also inspired my giant knitting needle obsession - http://www.knittingsite.org/index.html.

Looks like garter stitch to me! They would be fairly easy to do, but would take some seriously bulky yarn and big needles. Actually, they’re knitted, not crocheted. Looks like garter stitch to me!
