Discover the New LYKKE Flight Knitting Needle Kits

We're thrilled to introduce something special for knitters who appreciate both beautiful design and exceptional functionality: the LYKKE Flight Knitting Needle Kits!

For years, LYKKE has been loved for their gorgeous wooden knitting needles, known for warmth and comfort in hand. Now, they’re taking flight into a new realm — stainless steel circular knitting needles designed for speed, smoothness, and strength.

These interchangeable knitting needles are crafted for knitters who value precision, durability, and a touch of luxury in every stitch.

Why the LYKKE Flight Knitting Needles Stand Out

The Flight Collection marks LYKKE's debut into surgical-grade stainless steel knitting needles, offering an entirely new knitting experience alongside their beloved wooden collections.

These metal needles deliver a smooth, effortless glide perfect for even the stickiest yarns, while providing the precision that knitters demand.

We're excited to offer 3 Flight Sets: Mini, Standard, and Bulky—each beautifully presented in a waxed canvas case in Denim, Maroon, or Purple.

What’s Inside Each LYKKE Interchangeable Knitting Needle Set

Each Flight Kit is thoughtfully designed for knitters who love interchangeable circular knitting needles and want everything neatly organized in one place.

Each set includes:

• The standard sets include 9 pairs of precision-crafted interchangeable knitting needle tips (sizes tailored to each set type)
• The Minis and Bulky sets come with 5 pairs each
• Depending on the set, you'll get 3 or 4 premium stainless steel swivel cords in versatile lengths: 24", 32", 40", and 47" (See details here)
• Two cord connectors for maximum project flexibility
• Four secure keys for reliable tip attachment
• Eight convenient stoppers to safely hold your stitches
• A beautiful, travel-friendly case to keep everything perfectly organized

LYKKE Flight vs. ChiaoGoo: A Knitting Needle Comparison

Many knitters wonder how these new LYKKE knitting needles measure up to other popular stainless steel options like ChiaoGoo. Both brands excel in their own ways, but each offers a distinct experience.

What they share: Both feature high-quality surgical-grade stainless steel construction, smooth joins, and sturdy tips that maintain their shape beautifully.

Where they differ: ChiaoGoo is renowned for exceptionally sharp, tapered tips that excel at precise stitch manipulation in lace and cables, paired with an ultra-slick finish that speed knitters adore. LYKKE Flight offers a more moderate tip that is well-defined but gentler on fingertips with a slightly grippier surface that gives you more control. This makes LYKKE particularly appealing if you find super-slick needles challenging or work with slippery yarns.

The cable story is equally interesting: ChiaoGoo's famous memory-free red cables lie perfectly flat, though their non-swivel joins can occasionally unscrew while knitting. LYKKE Flight also features memory-free cables with an innovative swivel join that rotates independently, preventing cable twist and keeping connections secure, which is a notable advancement on ChiaoGoo’s system.

At The Dizzy Knitter, we're thrilled to offer the LYKKE Flight collection, a beautiful blend of functionality and thoughtful design that we think you'll absolutely love. Ready to experience the difference? Shop the LYKKE Flight Knitting Needle Sets today!

Getting the Most from Your Stainless Steel Knitting Needles

To help you love your new LYKKE Flight Needles from the very first stitch, here are a few tips:

How Will Stainless Steel Knitting Needles Change the Way I Knit?

Metal needles are naturally more slippery than wood, so your stitches may move faster than you're used to. This increased speed can be wonderful once you adjust, but it does require a brief learning period. Start by practicing your regular tension on a swatch before diving into an important project. Don't be discouraged if your first few rows feel different – most knitters adapt within a project or two and then wonder how they ever lived without the smooth glide of steel.

How Will Stainless Steel Knitting Needles Change the Way I Knit?

Stainless steel works beautifully with "grabby" fibers like alpaca, mohair, bamboo, silk, or plant-based yarns, which helps prevent snags while creating smooth, even stitches. Cotton yarns, which can sometimes feel sticky or drag on wooden needles, absolutely sing on stainless steel. Beginners often find steel needles helpful, since the smooth surface makes it less likely to catch individual plies.

How Will Stainless Steel Knitting Needles Change the Way I Knit?

The smooth surface and precise points help textured patterns like lace and cables really shine with crisp, clear stitch definition. Colorwork patterns, especially stranded knitting, are easier to manage since the yarns glide smoothly past each other without tangling. The consistent surface of steel also helps maintain even tension in ribbing and seed stitch patterns, preventing the puckering that sometimes occurs with natural materials.

How Do I Care for My Stainless Steel Knitting Needles?

Keep your needles safe in their beautiful case, and always secure the tips properly with the included keys to prevent any mishaps. Unlike wooden needles, stainless steel won't absorb oils from your hands or develop a patina over time, but they do benefit from occasional cleaning. Wipe them down with a soft, lint-free cloth after extended use to remove any fiber residue or natural oils. With proper care, your LYKKE Flight needles will maintain their smooth finish and precise points for decades of knitting enjoyment.
