What Makes Lykke Cypra Needles So Special?

Lykke, known for their commitment to craftsmanship, introduced the Cypra line featuring pure copper needles. Unlike traditional needles made from wood or stainless steel, copper offers something truly distinctive:

Warmth in Your Hands: Copper retains heat, making these needles feel warm and comforting, especially on chilly days or for those with arthritis.
Antimicrobial Properties: Copper naturally fights germs, keeping your needles cleaner.
Aging Gracefully: Over time, the needles develop a rich, natural patina that adds character and a story to your knitting tools.

Performance That Balances Smoothness and Grip

When it comes to knitting, the feel of the needles can make or break your experience. Lykke Cypra needles are uniquely balanced — smoother than bamboo but with just enough grip to keep your stitches steady. This makes them ideal for a wide variety of yarns, including delicate silks and slippery fibers.

While the tips are a bit blunter than some metal needles, I really liked knitting with them when I made a couple of scarfs and a few shawls. I propably wouldn't use them for an ultra-fine lacework that requires pinpoint precision, though.

Versatile Sets for Every Knitter

Lykke offers the Cypra needles in interchangeable sets with a variety of tip sizes (from 3.25mm up to 8.00mm) and cord lengths, all neatly organized in a vegan suede case that’s as stylish as it is practical. Plus, these sets are compatible with other major brands, so you can mix and match to your heart’s content.
