Lykke Cypra 5" Interchangeable Needle Starter Set – Brown Vegan Suede

A compact interchangeable knitting needle set in Lykke’s Cypra range, made from smooth copper tips. The surface offers a steady glide with a slightly grippier feel than wood, helping to keep stitches controlled. Sizes are etched into the metal bases in both metric and US measurements for long-term readability.

Copper develops a natural patina over time, creating rich tones of orange, purple and green. This process is purely aesthetic and does not affect your knitting. The patina will not transfer, stain or damage yarn. If preferred, the shine can be maintained using a polishing cloth designed to remove tarnish without scratching the surface. Copper also has natural antibacterial properties.

This interchangeable circular needle starter set covers the most commonly used sizes and is designed for flexibility without bulk. The interchangeable system allows you to combine needle tips and cables depending on your project, making it a practical option for everything from smaller accessories to garments.

The 5" tips feel balanced and steady, especially for sweater knitting on longer cords. The joins are smooth and secure, and the cables are flexible without being too soft, allowing stitches to move easily.

Copper has a slightly higher natural grip compared to wood or metal, which can be particularly helpful when working with silk, mohair or other slippery yarns. It gives more control over tension and helps prevent stitches from sliding too quickly, especially on lace or loosely spun fibres.

Includes:

• 8 pairs of 5" interchangeable needle tips:
  3.25 mm (US 3), 3.5 mm (US 4), 3.75 mm (US 5), 4.0 mm (US 6), 4.5 mm (US 7), 5.0 mm (US 8), 5.5 mm (US 9), 6.0 mm (US 10)
