The Knitting Needles - Wood are a pair of knitting needles carved from wood. They do the same work as the store-bought metal pair. Every knitting recipe in the Tailoring skill accepts them.
They suit a survivor far from any tailoring store. Their strength is the cheap material, since a Tree Branch is enough. Like any knitting needles, they are kept after each recipe.
They are always carved, at Carving level 3. They do not appear in loot. The Carpenter is the best occupation for tools. It starts with the most Carpentry skill. The Construction Worker and the DIY Expert also start with some Carpentry skill.
Using
The needles turn Yarn into clothing. Knit Beanie, Knit Scarf and Knit Doily need Tailoring at level 1. Knit Socks, Knit Legwarmers and Knit Wool Hat need level 2. Knit Sweater Vest and Knit Open-Face Balaclava need level 3. Knit Full Balaclava needs level 4.
Carve Knitting Needles needs Carving at level 3 and a sharp knife or a meat cleaver, which is kept. The wood can be a Tree Branch, a Wooden Rod, a Medium Handle, a Broken Long Stick or a Broken Large Handle. A Long Sharp Bone instead gives the bone pair.
The wood, bone and metal pairs all weigh the same. Each one fits every knitting recipe. A worn-out wooden pair can go on the fire as tinder or fuel.

Locations
The wooden pair does not spawn in loot. It comes from the Carve Knitting Needles recipe, using a branch, a rod or a broken handle.
Notes
- Research Craft on the needles teaches Carve Knitting Needles and Carve Bone Sewing Needle.
- A broken tool handle makes a good pair of needles.
- The needles are kept after each recipe, so one pair lasts.
- Knitting is a steady way to level Tailoring.
