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

These are great sock needles, i love them. I have them in size 1-7 now, a must-have item for small projects and socks!

This is the first time I have used circular needles for knitting socks. I love them. It makes knitting socks go faster.

The needles were fine & good quality. I just had trouble using the small loop with my knitting. If I had more time to get used to them, I would have continued using them. As it was, I was in a hurry & went back to using two circular needles to knit my sleeves in the round.

The size three nine inch were hard to find and they work very well. I especially like the circular bamboo needles.

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

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.

Perfect size for knitting small items in the round that you usually have to use double pointed needles to do.

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

Very nice. Ordered it to be able to knit socks in the round (for the most part). A little too short for working the toe part (had to switch to double pointed needles, but otherwise I was not disappointed. Took them on a trip with me, and once I got used to working with the short length, my speed increased, I wasnt dropping my double pointeds (as usual) and could stash the whole thing right in my purse. Very nice needles

Just kidding but, they are pretty small. When I first saw them, I laughed because they seem kind of ridiculous. I wondered how long it would take to get the hang of them. It didnt take long at all, actually. Casting on is a bit of a drag but then again, its always my least favorite part. I dont think its harder but because of the size, it took me a bit longer. Knitting with them feels pretty intuitive and is actually fun. They make the cutest little stitches too. Now, I have fairly small fingers (size 4 on my ring finger) so I honestly dont know if that makes it easier for me to use them but maybe. If you are a beginner, you probably arent going to buy these right now anyway but if you do, there probably will be a learning curve. I do wish the metal to bamboo had a smoother transition as it seems like it rubs my finger slightly. I have some Addi Turbo circulars as well but they dont seem to rub like that. Could just be me. I actually prefer these Takumis over the Addis though. I wish they would make these in an 8 length but I guess Ill just have to break out the DPNs. Anyway, I call these my Super Tiny Fun Needles because they are just that. Fun to knit with and adorable as well!
