Clover Takumi Bamboo Circular Knitting Needles 24-inch-Size 4/3.5mm, Other, Multicoloured, 2.5 x 9.36 x 23.18 cm

I should have bought a longer length. It was hard to keep all the stitches on the needles while working the increase rows. The needles themselves are fabulous.

no problems

I bought these for a young girl who is learning to knit. This brand of bamboo needles are the only ones I like. Amazing how a quality needle makes a difference on how easy it is to knit. Also local craft stores carry this brand but the length of cord is too long. Thank you Amazon for coming through for me once again.

Generally, I prefer wooden knitting needles to metal ones and had discovered this brand at my local knitting shop. Unfortunately, they were unable to stock all the sizes as easily as Amazon, and so I purchased here for my project. Work well as circular knitting needles, although the circular part takes a bit getting used to if you’ve used to shoving all your cast-ons along the needle length.

These are one of my favorite types of needles to use. The yarn slips easily off without dropping stitches. The cable is sturdy and well-connected to the needles. The needles get better with use because of the oil in your hands. The wood darkens and becomes smoother the more they are used. I prefer wood over metal when using cotton because the yarn doesn't split as much. I would not hesitate to recommend these to both new and experienced knitters. I own many sizes and lengths.

I love the feel of the bamboo. I wanted flexible but could not get them in a size 4. So I bought these and converted them to flexible with a couple of beads. Love it.

I got these needles because I wanted to try out circular knitting without spending a lot of money. I think they're a good value for beginners, but probably won't be anybody's favorite.The joins between the cable and the tips are pretty smooth and sturdy, and I didn't have any problems with snags. The tips were well-made, not warped or splintered, but the finish is very grabby. Bamboo needles are generally higher-friction than metal, but these are even more high-friction than other bamboo needles I've tried (like Crystal Palace dpns). This makes knitting with them feel more laborious than with needles that have a more polished finish. With these needles, I have to stop very often to push the stitches along the needles, whereas with my Addi Turbos, the stitches glide along much more on their own. This level of friction could be helpful to beginners, since it means they're much less likely to drop a stitch, but knitters with more practice would probably prefer something that wasn't so grabby.Clover also makes a set of interchangeable circular needles, but they have the same finish as these needles, and thus I would not recommend that set, as I feel that a knitter would quickly outgrow them with increasing experience. A couple of these cheaper fixed circulars might be useful to learn on, but I feel it would be better to invest in a set with a slicker finish because they are easier on your hands over the long run.

Not all bamboo needles are the same. I love Clover. Their needles are long enough to be comfy and not awkward in your hands. The cable is stiffer...good for circular loop knitting as they don't get twisted or bent. The points are not sharp so you don't pierce your yarn. I have these in every size and every length. They are getting harder to find and I fear they may not be making as many anymore since most people like the interchangeable. I have the interchangeable and do not like them. Things get caught in the joint.

Very good quality knitting needles. Work smooth and a little flexible so hands don’t cramp. Perfect length and flexible but strong cord.
