We love Lykke needles because of their smooth finish and join. The point is not too sharp and works well with any yarn, we especially like it with chainette yarns or other yarns you are trying to avoid splitting. All Lykke needles are hand crafted from birch wood in Nepal.

I have several Lykke small circulars as well as both the 3” and 5or 6 inch tip interchangeable Lykke sets. I love how much easier wood needles are on my hands when knitting…except for sticky yarns and then I have to switch to my metal Chiaogoo needles. I’m about to start a two color brioche class to learn brioche knitting and the yarn is superwash Merino (perfect wood needle yarn) and the two patterns call for 9” circs plus a larger circ (I have the larger in my Lykke sets) and double pointed needles. I don’t have any Lykke DPNs so I ordered the 9” circ and the DPNs in the “supposed” size will need. Let’s hope I get gauge on them or I’ll be buying one more size up or down, right?
I’m giving 5 stars ahead of time then, because I love all my other Lykke’s and I use them for everything but my Shetland wool yarns. I highly recommend the sets. You can get extra cords in any length to use with them. I have the two sets because I often have more than one project going needing the same size needle although I’ve also bought extra tips in my most used sizes. I tend to gravitate to the 3” tips most often.
Great
I’m brand new to knitting, so my wonderful Apricot helper handed me these when I told her what I wanted to make, and so far so good! They have a wonderful slide and grip, which I hear is what wood is great for. Easy to hold and work with. Once I got going, it’s a bit annoying that they’re attached, but I’m sure there’s a good reason this novice knitter just isn’t aware of yet, and I look forward to solving the mystery. Thank you Apricot team for helping me choose them!!
Smooth and warm to the touch, Lyle Driftwood needles are perfect for any knitting project. I love my 3 pair and will buy more in the future!
Great needlez
These are in fun colors so there’s always one that will contrast nicely with the yarn for good visibility. They can be used on the needle or as a row marker since they can be opened and removed. If they turn on the needle the skinny end can get a little stuck on larger size needles, but just turn it back and you’re good to go. They slip easily on both metal and bamboo needles. If you have dexterity issues, they might be a little fiddly to open and close because they are small, so play with some before you buy if possible.
Everyone at apricot yarns are so knowledgeable and helpful! Very welcoming environment too
i just love the feel and look of this yarn
Thanks!
Such a beautiful yarn and color
