Review on 🍀 Clover 16-Inch Takumi Bamboo Circular Knitting Needles, Size 4 - Model 3016/16-04 by Michelle Langley

It took me a while to get used to using circular needles, but perseverance paid off. I love these needles and would highly recommend this brand of bamboo needles. The first few times I used them, I was concerned that the stitching on the cords would twist, but I found that just keeping an eye on them and not twisting them, always being careful, helped that the seams sagged towards the middle a lot. . After only a few rows of knitting, all the stitches were fine and not trying to twist. I liked this brand's bamboo needles so much that I ordered several, probably a dozen, in different sizes. usually 12 or 16 inches long. I'm 'homeschooled' in Fair Isle knitting and the Shetland yarn is quite good, even finer than the sporty yarn, so I was happy to find sizes 1, 2 and 3 in various lengths of this Clover bamboo needle. I do not knit Fair Isle clothing but do make smaller items such as Christmas gift bags and knitted cards for personal use. For my normal yarn, I also find sizes 4, 5 and 8 perfect for my needs. For bulky wool yarn I use size 10 or 10.50. Bamboo is smooth and does not stick to the yarn when knitting. The cords are well attached to the bamboo and do not twist when knitting. Everything is highly recommended.
