An unbeatable combination

“I can’t wait until I can take home a set of these beautiful needles,” says Jessica Noyes, sales associate and teacher at A Tangled Skein. She’s talking about the Takumi Combo, an interchangeable set of premium bamboo needles just introduced by Clover. The set includes five cords (16, 24, 29, 36 and 48 inches) and 12 tip sizes (3 through 15), creating 60 combinations of circular needles. The set is stored in a handsome black case. Jessica, who has knitted with the needles at the shop, points out the following features: “The cord pivots, meaning that it won’t kink when you turn your project. The tips are pointer than with regular bamboo needles. And there’s a smooth, gradual join and a screw-in attachment.” Come see for yourself. The price of the set is $169.95.
