🧶 Lykke Driftwood 24-Inch Circular Knitting Needles - Size 8 Review

I LOVE these needles. (My sister doesn't - so it's definitely a matter of taste!). They are strong and have sharp ends. I also don't like anything other than wooden needles, so I'm very picky and have a peculiar taste. I'm an openwork knitter, so sharp ends are important for knitting multiple stitches together. I highly recommend it.

I really like the look of these needles but they are a little blunt and grippy. I love the natural color and the flexible cord, but I prefer laminated birch over this type of wood. For about the same price, Pride Dreamz knitting machines offer a much smoother knitting surface, lighter weight, sharper points, and the same cord.
