🍀 Clover Takumi 48-Inch Size 10.5 Bamboo Circular Knitting Needles Review

Lightweight and easy to use. I find bamboo to be a lot easier to work with than metal because it offers the right amount of resistance.

Knitting needles excellent metal sometimes cool. My hands hate the cold. Hope they are long lasting.

Clover bamboo needles are so light and strong! Finding the right size sweater or blanket is difficult. The cable did not kink like circular needles.

I have never used bamboo circular knitting needles but I am knitting a large blanket and cannot find any other 48 inch needles. bought them!

Excellent purchase!

Very happy with these brochures. I'm a longtime fan of Takumi. I was working on knitting a large round blanket and crumple towards the end but after switching the project to these very long needles the project became a lot easier to manage. The yarn slides easily over the bamboo/plastic connection. Having already done most of the project, I didn't think to heat the circles to loosen the curl of the plastic. Luckily, the weight of the project helped keep the circles from getting too twisted.

I'm new to knitting and crocheting so this is my first time using wooden needles - I'm not a fan. Bamboo holds the yarn so tightly you have to pull each stitch off while pulling new stitches together . You're just annoying. Also, I worry that they will snag on the tiny fibers of the yarn and make it less smooth. Maybe wood/bamboo is good for beginners just starting out to keep the yarn from slipping off, but in my opinion they are annoying. I'll give them one last shot at a throw blanket, but…
