Lykke Umber 5" Interchangeable Circular Knitting Needle Set — 12 Pairs, 5 Cords, Birch Travel Case

Lykke Umber 5-inch interchangeable circular knitting needle set is a durable, lightweight birch-wood kit that gives knitters twelve short needle pairs, five cord lengths, connectors and travel cases for projects from hats to seamless garments.

This compact set brings professional-feel interchangeable needles in a warm umber birch finish, designed for knitters who prefer short tips and flexible cable lengths. The needles are 5 inches (13 cm) long, clearly etched with both US and metric sizes, and pair with multiple cord lengths and accessories so you can build circulars in many length combinations. The included denim roll case and project bag keep everything organized whether you stitch at home or take a project out.

What needle sizes and cord lengths are included?

The kit contains twelve needle pairs spanning commonly used sizes, plus cords that create a wide range of finished cable lengths. Each needle has its size etched for easy identification, and the metric equivalents are included.

• Twelve pairs: US 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 10.5, 11, 13, 15, 17 (3.5–12 mm)
• Five cords: two 24" (60 cm), two 32" (80 cm), one 40" (100 cm)
• Two connectors to join cords and keys/stoppers for secure joins and cast-on ends

How do the Lykke birch needles feel and perform during knitting?

Umber needles are made from strong, lightweight birch that combines smoothness with a slightly warm texture under the hands. The wood balances grip and glide so most yarns move predictably without slipping off, and the polished join to the cord minimizes snagging.

• Lightweight birch reduces hand fatigue for longer knitting sessions
• Smooth finish for controlled stitch movement on a variety of yarn textures
• Cleanly tapered tips for accurate stitch formation and fewer dropped stitches

Can I expand this set later for more projects?

Yes—this is an expandable system meant to grow with your needs. Add extra cords, needle sizes or specialty tips to convert short needles into longer circulars or to create fixed-length cords for specific projects.

• Swap cords to create many cable lengths for sleeves, hats, cowls and small circular work
• Compatible with additional Lykke connectors and cords for customization
• Durable construction intended for long-term use rather than one-season disposability

What accessories and storage come with the set?

The kit includes practical accessories and storage solutions so you can keep parts organized and bring projects along. A denim case holds the interchangeable pieces, while a larger project bag carries works in progress and supplies.

• Umber denim case for needles, cords, connectors, keys and stoppers
• Project bag approx. 13 x 16 inches with drawstring and shoulder straps for easy transport
• Two keys and eight stoppers to secure live stitches and manage cable joins

Who this set is for: The Lykke Umber 5-inch interchangeable circular set suits knitters who want portable short-tip interchangeables for small-circumference knitting—ideal for hat crowns, sleeves, necklines and any project where short tips and flexible cable length make shaping and magic-loop techniques easier. Beginners who plan to expand their tools and experienced makers wanting a warm-wood alternative to metal will both appreciate the readable etchings, robust hardware and organized storage included in this long-term knitting investment.
