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

I like knitting with metal needles but if I am traveling then these are the best! I fly with these needles and sit comfortable knitting on my socks. You can use these needles sitting in the middle seat! Also, these needle are better for me to knit with when my husband is driving and I feel safer knitting with these needles in a moving vehicle. These needles are not for everyone, because the cord is so small and the needle is so short that it can become very uncomfortable for some knitters. If you have a heavy hand and hold your needles very tight then you might not want to buy the two smallest size of these needles because they will break. Happy knitting! Penandink

Great quality, perfect size for baby hats

Love them and at a great price!!!

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

Love the way that I can make socks with them

too small to work with easily will take some practice.

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.

Perfect size for gloves & baby beanies using the finer yarns

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.
