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

these are super tiny but great for working socks. Need to have strength in your fingers to hang onto tiny end.

Needles too small to knit

I tried these for socks after hearing so much about 9 inch circulars. Clovers are my favorite needles. These look weird because there is nothing to them, but unless you have large hands or trouble with grip, I think you would do fine with these. They knit faster and pretty much eliminate dropped stitches. Making anything smaller or larger in circumference than an adult sock would be a problem. I am had only knitted 3 pairs of socks in my life when I got these, and I took right to them, but I am a fast learner. People seem to love them or hate them. I love them!

Perfect size for gloves & baby beanies using the finer yarns

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.

Excelente

Theyre pretty small in diameter, but they work very well for doing small projects in the round. I think Ill try a pair of 12, too for slightly bigger stuff.

Love them and at a great price!!!

I purchased hiyahiya, chai goo, and clover 9 inch needles to see which one I’d prefer to use. I honestly didn’t think I’d like the clover, because bamboo is considered the “slow” needle. It doesn’t matter what material my needles are made of, I always have to scoot my stitches over as I knit. While the metal glides a little easier, it’s not that big of a difference on these small needles. That just in my knitting and your results may be different. I love the bend in this needle as it keeps my stitches flowing better. I think this is the main reason why I prefer this needle over the others I tested. My clover needles get slicker with use, and I dip the bamboo part in bamboo conditioner (normally used to cost cutting boards) which helps. I am very happy with my purchase and highly recommend them.

Love the way that I can make socks with them
