Overview
This is Clover's Takumi interchangeable circular needle system: 12 tip sizes (US 3 through 15) paired with 5 cord lengths (16 to 48 inches), giving 60 tip-and-cord combinations in one case. It suits a knitter who wants one kit to cover small-diameter hats through full afghans without buying separate circular needles for each project.
Takumi tips are tapered and finished smooth so yarn slides rather than catches at the tip, and the case holds every tip and cord in labeled slots instead of a loose bag. Because the set runs US 3 to 15, it skips lace-weight sizes below a 3 and anything larger than a 15, so a pattern calling for a size 17 or up still needs a separate needle.
- 12 needle sizes, US 3 to 15
- 5 cord lengths from 16 to 48 inches
- 60 possible tip and cord combinations
- Customized case keeps everything sorted
Who it's for
Suits a knitter working several projects at once, from a sock in progress to a blanket on a 48 inch cord, who wants to swap tips onto whichever cord fits the current piece. Less useful for someone who only ever knits one gauge of yarn and would rather buy a single fixed needle.
Pros and cons
- Covers 12 tip sizes and 5 cord lengths in one case
- Tapered tips glide through stitches
- Smooth needle-to-cord joint reduces snagging
- Sizes stop at US 15, no larger circulars included
- A large set to store if you only need a few sizes
Performance notes
The tapered tip and the finish on the joint between needle and cord are what make an interchangeable set usable in practice: a rough join catches yarn mid-stitch, and Clover finishes both the tip and the screw connection so the cord slides through a stitch instead of snagging at the join.
