Product ReviewsClover 3683 Interchangeable Circular Knitting Needles Takumi Combo Set

Great set of multiple sizes/lengths

Nice pouch - I've only used 1 set of needles so far and they' re pretty smooth. Very easy (maybe too) to screw on the wire. But I did notice after a few rounds that my right needle was turning looser.... so keep that in mind and keep an eye on the needles. Still I enjoy this product, the number of needle sizes and the different lengths of wire are a great bonus!Read full review...

lightweight, sturdy, and travel friendly!

I've loved clover needles since i first started knitting a few years ago and was lucky to find the interchangeable set at this price! I waited a few months before reviewing to see how well they hold up. these needles pass through airport security easily, and even though it only has the screw mechanism to attach the needles to the cord, it's been extremely secure and has never come undone even on my biggest and heaviest project! these were everything i dreamed about, highly recommendRead full review...

Takumi circular needle set

The needles are of good quality. They just feel nice in your hands and don't slip as much as metal needles, which gives you better control. If you knit a lot, I would highly recommend these needles. The ability to change the length of the needle is great. The connectors are very smooth, much better than normal circular needles. I am totally satisfied.Read full review...

Lovely natural bamboo set

I have only used these on one project thus far, but they are great! The needles have the same feel as other takumi bamboo products. This set is the most extensive (and least expensive) that there is on the market. If you like using bamboo/wood needles, I highly recommend this product! The interchangeable circular cables just screw in (no key required) and haven't come undone (or loosened) after many many hours of knitting. The only drawback I could give for this set is the case- it is not really my preference aesthetically, but it does the job just fine of keeping everything neat and orderly.Read full review...

Excellent set

Wonderful set of interchangeable needles. I love them. I have every size imaginable and various lengths. I need to cast on with larger needles because I’m a tight knitter. This set makes that easy to do. I just change out the needle size after casting on. Good quality needles with nice points.Read full review...

Wonderful

Set of needles came very quickly. The needles are great: sharp points, smooth bamboo and best of all easy to attach middle. The wool can easily slide over the connection. This was the best price around. Love them. Thank you.Read full review...

Great Set

I'm working on a hat using the needles from this kit and it is very easy to get the yarn from one end to another. The carrying case is the best part of this set as it keeps everything in place and the quality is great.Read full review...

Great knitting set

I like knitting with clover takumi bamboo needles. They feel nice to hold, I like how smooth the yarn feels on them.

With this product I can change needle sizes, needle cord lengths, and it allows me to have the right size for and project. I will often use circular needles to knit flat, because I have pets and children around and I really don't want them to snap a needle while they're being rambunctious near my craft supplies. So if they break something I can get replacements. Plus the case is pretty slick. Read full review...

Best Quality for the Price

I've had this set for more than a year now & I've knitted several items using it. I can say that I'm extremely happy with the performance of this set. I tend to like bamboo & wooden needles more than steel or aluminum needles because they're not as slippery & nowhere near as noisy. I dislike that 'clicky' sound associated with metal knitting needles.

This set doesn't use a key to tighten the needle tips onto the cable. It doesn't need it. The needle tips screw onto the cable & are very secure because of a tiny O-ring on the threaded part of the needle tips. The connection has never loosened while I was knitting on a project.

This set is in the mid range of prices for circular knitting needle sets. The quality is, in my opinion, in the upper part of the middle range or possibly in the lower part of the upper range. I've never owned one of the really high dollar sets, so it's hard to say.

Add a pair of cable stoppers, some cable connectors, a few point protectors, a spare 16" cable & you'll have everything you could possibly need for almost any project, all in one small, paperback book size package.

It doesn't get much better than this at such a reasonable price point. Read full review...
