Clover Takumi Bamboo Circular 36-Inch Knitting Needles, Size 8

As a constant knitter I prefer this brand of needles. They arent slippery, they develop a patina over time, they feel good in my hands, and theyre legal to take through security at the airport! My local yarn and craft stores stock this brand, but they dont always have all sizes and cable lengths in stock. I can almost always find what I need at Amazon.

These knitting needles are soo smooth and they seem to warm up the longer you hold them. I love them.

I like this time of needle. I gave an 8 because I was looking a number 8 and it came # 5. And I thought I looked carefully but apparently I didnt. Maybe it should be better explained.

Great!

Obviously, there are nicer and more expensive needles out there. But, for the hobbyist/beginner these are perfect. The needles were smooth, light, pointy, but not overly sharp like lace needles. The cable doesnt turn and will want to curl up on itself after I while. I just lay my work flat and untwist the needle and cable and its fine.

The nylon cord requires the steam-treatment to straighten it out every time I use it (I store my circular needles coiled up), but the attachment points between the needles and the cord are nice and smooth - nothing to hang up my knitting on as I move it around. Would definitely buy more of these.

Tubing is not reinforced, so it will break after awhile. Get better quality circular knitting needles than these.

Ive been using these needles for over 30 years-- they are light weight and have a very smooth connection to the plastic wire. Also the stitches dont slide off of the needle. They and great now for my arthritic hands.

Love the bamboo needles. Have switched all my needles to them.

I have many clover bamboo needles. They are my favorite.
