Review on Lykke Driftwood Circular Knitting Needles by Kristen Simpson

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Rigid cable but nice needles

Downgraded 1 star for cable stiffness - I've read many places that Lykke replacement tips fit Knitter's Pride cables and assumed both brands get their cables from the same source , but this Lykke cable is very stiff/inflexible compared to Knitter's Pride (I have a solid 16" round KP so I was able to compare side to side). At the same time, I had no problems with the connection between the needles and the cable, and I really like the knitting needles themselves. The wood is very smooth (comparable to Knitter's Pride Dreamz) and I don't see any wood grain imperfections. The tips are neither blunt nor super sharp; I wouldn't mind if they were a bit sharper, but they aren't as blunt as Clover's bamboo needles.

Pros
  • Sturdy build
Cons
  • Some minor issues

I love these needles. Very smooth. Good tips to prevent splitting yarn fibers. My favorites.
