We will be traveling in Mainland China this April and visiting many cities including Beijing, Shanghai and Hong Kong. My wife enjoys knitting sweaters and there are excellent knitting needles available in Hong Kong and perhaps also in Mainland China at a fraction of the cost of these needles here in the USA.
One brand of needle is "Lantern Moon" which we suspect is made in Vietnam. We would like to find a shop in any one of the three cities I mentioned above that sells knitting supplies like needles.
