Lykke Driftwood Circular Knitting Needles 32 inch - Size 4

32" size 3 Circular NeedleThese are literally the best circular needles I have ever used. I've been using Lykke straight needles for several years, and although I have SO many brands of circular needles, I broke down hoping to have the same quality w these circulars as I have had w their straight needles. I have been using Takumi bamboo for a current project, and got frustrated with the considerably more dull takumis. I'm using a fine weight yarn that splits easily but I really dislike dull needles! Also the cable of the takumis don't link, but they're not very flexible and the "hump" is not pleasant.. just not super smooth..I knew that Lykkes would provide more pointy needles, so I got them for this reason. However, I did not expect that the cable to needle transition would be so satisfying and so well made! These make All the difference in the world.Absolute blessings for me, with this current project!(They're also beautiful, btw)

I am a die-hard aluminum fan. I don’t knit with stainless steel. I don’t knit with plastic. I don’t for any reason ever knit with WOOD. I ended up these and decided to give them a whirl (in a pinch) and let me tell you...these needles are T H E TRUTH!! They don’t stick like bamboo. They’re light and smooth as satin. They aren’t heavy like stainless and they don’t bend like plastic. Love love love these!!!

One of the needles had a crack in it and partially split on the first 20 stitches. 🙁 I had to break off the splinter to free my stitches and now that one needle is bent. These were only $10 and I don't want to stop my project while we process a return. I am making it work with a wonky needle.On the positive side... they feel great!! Smooth with blunt ends. I even like the black coloured. The cord is thicker and once I dipped it into hot water (just the plastic cord, not the wooden needles!) The cord does not get in my way for doing "magic loop" socks.If it weren't for the cracked needle I would be raving about these needles and I would be telling everyone to buy them.

I had a friend request a sweater for Christmas. The wool is super bulky so I can finish in time. I never use super bulky. I don’t like it. So I needed needles and believe they should not only be functional but pretty. I received my size 13 driftwood circulars by Lykke today. They are truly lovely. I wasn’t expecting a great point or for them to glide so well since they are so large, but they do. Again, truly lovely.

Cables are a little stiffer than my old KnitPicks interchangeables, but for knitting a large project like a shawl or blanket it isn’t noticeable while working, anyway. I wouldn’t use these for magic loop knitting, though. I love the smooth finish and the joins are perfect. Plus, having the size stamped on the base is nice, since I tend to mix up my needles.

I love how lightweight and smooth they are to use. Having used other brands of circular needles in the past, there is something about the Lykke needles that is hard to describe. You have to try them to understand I think! Personally I find them wonderful to use and would not use any other.

These knitting needles are a dream to work with. The yarn glides off making the project go much easier and quicker. Also because the yarn moves easier there is much less tension in the muscles and tendons of my hands. I have severe arthritis in my hands so anything that makes doing work with my hands easier is worth any price.

Circular knitting needles work well with lots of patterns.

Dopo pochi minuti di uso un ferro si è rotto. L’aggancio fra ferro e filo fa attrito e la lana si impiglia. Grossa delusione.

Great to use and stylish

Purtroppo le misure indicate non sono espresse in mm ma sono quelle americane. Avendo io acquistato 7 in realtà è mm4,5 per me inutile. Forse non sono stata sufficientemente attenta io ma... ho dubbi sulla loro presentazione. Oggetto per me inutilizzabile perché acquistato nel set di lykke
