Clover 3016/36-05 Takumi Bamboo Circular 36-Inch Knitting Needles, Size 5

I ordered these needles after being frustrated with the plastic circular needles that I was using. Those needles weren't sharp and the join of needle to cord wasn't seamless. Now these bamboo needles, totally different story. The needles have sharp points, making it very easy to pick up stitches, especially when the yarn is thin. The body of the needle is smooth but not extra slippery like a steel/metal needle. The join of needle to cord is seamless; smooth and strong. Not where you could easily pull the cord off the needle.I am very satisfied with these needles and think that I am able to extend the time spent knitting as these needles are very light and easy to handle.

Comfortable, smooth, and warm in my hands. My go-to needles for all projects.

I like the feel of bamboo knitting needles. I do knit rather fast, but sloppily, so instead of losing stitches the bamboo has a little grip that helps me stay on course. Long length of the cord is helpful for this project I'm working on. Clover is always a quality product. I have many of their circular needles and will continue to purchase in the future.

I usually am not a big fan of working with circular needles. If i can get away with using double points I try to do that instead. I am attempting my first adult size sweater and had to move to a circular due to size of the project. I own a set of interchangable circular needles, but I don't enjoy knitting with them.These are a complete different experience.1. The joints with the cable are smooth and the stitches slide past easily without getting caught.2. I like working with bamboo because it is not so slippery that the stitches slide off and get dropped but it is not so "sticky" that the yarn doesn't move smoothly on the needles.3. The cable is fixed so it doesn't spin around and get twisted while I am working.4. The size of the needle part is long enough to work a decent number of stitches and short enough to manipulate easily.5. These don't make my hands hurt from having to hold them too tight and they are very lightweight.I am liking these very much and I would recommend them.

This is on overall a good Circular needle. I guess I was a bit disappointed by the feeling of the bamboo but now that I am used to it, it feels a lot better. Also, even if you would think at first that it is not good quality, it actually went very well for my very big blanket project I knitted with it. I would certainly recommend it for some intermediate knitter who don't knit that much and just wish to have some circular needle. I think it is a nice enough product.

I'm working with a difficult yarn, it kept sliding off the needle. These hold much better, although I still have to pay attention. No watching Tv and knitting on this one.

While I have knitted for years, this is my first time to use the bamboo needles. I love the lightness and the way they handle. The yarn slides off nicely, but not too quickly to cause dropped stitches, a problem I have encountered with some types of material. The only bad thing I can say about these needles is that I like them too much, I am probably going to replace all of my other needles with bamboo needles, not an inexpensive endeavor.

Like very much - great to knit with

I bought this pair of circular needles because of the good reviews and was very disappointed since they are completely unusable right form the get go. The yarn catches on the splintered points and it is impossible to use them. Would not buy again, definitely not !
