Review on 🌿 Clover Takumi Bamboo Circular 48-Inch Size 6 Knitting Needles (3016/48-06) by Sasha Hsiao

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Beware! Not all knitting needles are the same!

I love Clover bamboo needles and rarely knit with anything else. I have this 48 inch no. Bought 6 needle from Revain because the sweater I'm knitting has "grown" so far that the 36 inch no can't find it. this size at my local yarn store. But when I took a new one out of the box, I could see that the two needles were not the same size. The replaced needle was of course 4.00mm in diameter and the new one was 4.25mm in diameter. However, they are both size 6. A little research revealed that the Japanese size 6 needle is 4.25mm long and the US size 6 needle, like all my other size 6 needles, is 4.00mm long. Since Clover bamboo needles are made in Japan, it's reasonable to expect them to be made to Japanese standards. A small difference in the size of the needles didn't affect my project, but some knitting projects might be affected. To stay updated!
