Clover Takumi 9-Inch Single Point, Size 8

The Clover Takumi 9-Inch Single Point, Size 8 is a great set of wooden knitting needles for beginners. The size 8 needles (5mm) are good for medium/aran weight yarn and provide enough texture to prevent the yarn from slipping off. The bamboo needles are smooth and comfortable to hold, making for a pleasant knitting experience. The pointy tip is not particularly sharp and is safe for children to use. The only downside is that the needles may be too short for bigger projects and may require longer needles or the ones with cord.
