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

I originally got a pair of these because they also come in the 48-inch length, which I needed to do Mobius knitting, and I loved them so much Ive been getting more of them to fill in the sizes of double pointed circular needles I lack. I like the bamboo, which is tough and has a smooth surface that is as slick as plastic needles but not so slick as metal needles, which I think is just the right slickness. They hold up well to normal wear and tear. I also like that bamboo is a renewable resource, which plastic and metal arent. Theyre good value for the money. I do have to say that I have broken one of the needle points, but it was a size 2 needle, which are very slender. I had so many stitches on the needle that it was difficult to move the stitches around to the other side and the way I was holding the needle as I pushed the stitches around, I would probably have broken a plastic one as well.

It took a while for the plastic cord to relax from its coiled state, but Ive been using this to knit a wrap and it works wonderfully. The wood needles are smooth and easy to grip. Even though Ive used it for chunky, worsted wool, I havent experienced any snags! Highly recommend.

The project arrived in good shape and was exactly what Id ordered...also came in good shipping time. I much prefer the bamboo needles to the metal as the points dont clatter while Im using them.

I love clover wood needles. They knit smoothly and have no metal parts that can catch on yarn.

Clover Takumi Bamboo needles are my favorite. They are well made and always good quality.The stitches dont slide right off. I would recommend them to anyone. I know others like metal but my personal preference are clover bamboo.

Easy to knit with. However, they are taking on the color of the yarn.

It is just what I needed. I have used Clover circular needles for many years, but I needed the 36 needle for this project.

Great!

They arrived splintered and unusable. Thankfully Amazon replaced them for free. Not sure what is so great about these as they seem no different then the aluminum needles I had.

Got them to knit a cowl and after the first few stitches one of the tips snaped off. Usually this brand has great products, this was the first time where a needle broke for me. But now it’s just useless. Their older products were much hardier, it feels like this bamboo is cheaper than my older needles.
