If you love working with chunky yarns for blankets, cardigans, and quick-knit accessories, the Lykke Flight 5" Bulky Interchangeable Knitting Needle Set gives you a dedicated toolkit for big stitches. Five pairs of large stainless steel tips, long swivel cords, and a compact case in Denim, Maroon, or Purple keep your go-to bulky sizes organized and ready whenever inspiration hits.

Bulky projects that feel easier to manage

Thick yarn and heavy fabric can be hard on your hands and cables. The 5" Flight bulky tips give you extra leverage for moving large stitches, while the braided swivel cords are built to carry the weight of blankets and big sweaters without twisting up. You get a setup that feels steady and predictable, even when the project in your lap is anything but small.

What makes the Flight Bulky set unique

Flight needles are made from superior 316 stainless steel, chosen for strength, corrosion resistance, and a smooth, satin finish. The bulky set focuses on the large sizes you reach for with aran, bulky, and super bulky yarns, so every piece in the case is built for big, cushy stitches.

• 5" interchangeable stainless steel tips in US 10.75, 11, 13, 15, and 17 (7.00–12.00 mm).
• 316 stainless steel alloy for long-term durability and resistance to rust or discoloration.
• Hollow-core construction for a surprisingly light feel in large sizes.
• Medium-sharp, well-tapered points that pick up bulky loops cleanly without splitting plies.
• US and metric sizes etched on every tip so markings stay legible over time.

Built for blankets, big sweaters, and quick knits

This set is designed around the kinds of projects that really benefit from big needles and long cords. Instead of collecting random fixed circulars, you can reach for one case that covers most of your heavy-gauge knitting.

• Chunky throws and lap blankets worked on 40", 47", or 60" cords.
• Oversized cardigans, jackets, and outerwear in aran to super bulky yarns.
• Cozy cowls, shawls, and ponchos with deep, textured stitches.
• Rug-style fabrics, seat pads, or home decor worked at a firm gauge.
• Fast gift projects where you want big impact in fewer evenings of knitting.

What’s inside the case

The folding faux waxed canvas case keeps your large tips, cords, and small parts in one tidy package. Needles are held in elastic slots, while cords and notions live in a separate pocket so they do not tangle with your tips.

• 5 pairs of 5" interchangeable tips:
  US 10.75 (7.00 mm)
  US 11 (8.00 mm)
  US 13 (9.00 mm)
  US 15 (10.00 mm)
  US 17 (12.00 mm)
• 4 clear standard-size braided steel swivel cords:
  32" (80 cm)
  40" (100 cm)
  47" (120 cm)
  60" (150 cm)
  Lengths are measured tip to tip with the 5" needles attached.
• 2 cord connectors for joining cables when you need extra span for very large projects.
• 4 end stoppers so cords can hold live stitches or act as stitch holders.
• 2 tightening keys and 1 small silicone grip pad to help secure joins without straining your hands.
• 1 faux waxed canvas case in your choice of Denim, Maroon, or Purple.

How the tips and cords feel under the weight of bulky yarn

Big stitches can magnify every little annoyance in your tools. The Flight bulky set is tuned so your needles and cables stay calm and cooperative while the project grows.

• 5" length gives your hands room to grip without crowding, which helps reduce strain when moving heavy fabric.
• Satin stainless surface lets thick yarns slide smoothly while still giving you enough control for cables and textured stitches.
• Balanced weight: substantial enough to feel sturdy, light enough for long sessions.
• Braided steel cords with swivel joins that turn with your hands instead of twisting up your work.

Cords, sizing, and compatibility

The bulky set uses standard Flight braided cords sized for larger needles and longer projects. That means the joins stay smooth and stable when carrying the weight of a blanket or coat.

• Standard-size steel swivel cords designed for 5" Flight tips in larger sizes.
• Swivel action helps prevent cables from winding up as you turn your work.
• Clear coating shows the braided steel core while staying gentle on your yarn.
• Cords are compatible with other Flight tips that use the same standard cord size, giving you flexibility if you own additional Flight sets.

Care, materials, and warranty

The materials and construction are chosen with long-term use in mind, and Lykke backs that with a straightforward guarantee, so you can treat this as a core part of your toolkit.

• Wipe tips with a soft cloth after use; if needed, wash gently with mild soap and water, then dry completely.
• Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads that could mark the satin surface.
• Store cords loosely coiled in the case so they are not sharply bent in storage.
• All Lykke products are guaranteed for five years against manufacturer defects through Lykke; only the broken piece needs to be submitted for replacement.
• Flight needles are handcrafted by skilled craftspeople in Nepal, supporting fair-wage work in a growing local community.

Common questions from knitters

How is the Bulky set different from the 5" Standard Flight set?

The Standard set covers US 3–10.5 for light to worsted-weight projects. The Bulky set focuses on US 10.75–17 for aran, bulky, and super bulky yarns. Many knitters use the Standard for everyday garments and the Bulky for blankets, outerwear, and quick chunky knits.

Can I use these needles for smaller-circumference projects?

Yes, if you enjoy magic loop or two-circular methods. The 5" tips and longer cords are especially comfortable for big round projects, but many knitters are happy to use them for body and yoke knitting as well.

Will the stainless steel feel cold or heavy?

The hollow-core construction keeps these large sizes lighter than they look, and they warm quickly to your hands. Most knitters find the balance reassuring rather than heavy, especially when the project itself has some weight.

Is 316 stainless a good option if I react to other metal needles?

316 stainless steel is widely used where long-term contact with skin and moisture is expected. While sensitivities vary, many knitters who struggle with other metals find this alloy more comfortable to work with over time.

The Lykke Flight 5" Bulky Interchangeable Knitting Needle Set brings together large 316 stainless steel tips, long swivel cords, and a compact case in Denim, Maroon, or Purple.
