Bamboo Circular Knitting Needles Takumi , 9-Inch Size 3 (3016/9-03)

Lovely to knit with, met my expectations. Started my collection with these. Love the bend at the join.

Ive knit on and off all my life and I even have my English Grandmas old grey, very slippery needles. Which brings me to what I love about these bamboo needles..much less slippage. Therefore more control since I knit the British way, with the wool in my right hand. An added bonus for others in the room, much less clickety-clack. These needles are very quiet. Takumi makes a superior product...I have tried cheaper ones and had little splinters. A great product.

Very good for the small stuff, like a socks or gloves.

Love the way that I can make socks with them

Love them and at a great price!!!

Great for small projects!

I really love these 9-inch circular needles! They are the perfect length for knitting adult socks. The bamboo needle tips provide just enough drag to keep the stitches from accidentally dropping off - a chronic problem I have with metal double-point needles (DPNs). It is true that for the first couple of rounds you may feel as if you are knitting with matchsticks, but as the knitting grows it becomes easy to maintain a relaxed grip on your knitting. I just finished my first pair of socks with these and was astonished at how fast I can complete a project without the constant needle adjustments that are required of both magic-loop knitting and traditional DPNs. The results are beautiful - absolutely smooth stockinette stitch without any trace of the laddering that can occur when knitting with DPNs. These needles have forever changed how I knit socks. Im so in love with them that Ive bought them in size 1, 2 and 3. You should give these a try - I predict you will love them too!

A lovely little needle. I admit, it took a few rows to adjust to the tiny circle, but once I did its been nothing but smooth sailing. The needle is durable and the stitches slide smoothly. Clover has yet to disappoint me, and I expect to buy more of their products in the future.

I am very happy with the product, but canot believe that it took 10 days to get here!! The date on the package was 2/20/2013 and I didnt get it until the 28th.

I really like the wood needles vs the steel ones, less chance of your yarn falling off the needles
