If you’re a knitter who’s explored interchangeable needle systems, you’ve likely heard of the big names. But lately, we’ve been exploring something new—and we’re genuinely excited.
Meet the Pamir 5 Interchangeable Circular Needle Set from Lotus Yarns.
We’ve had a great experience working with Lotus so far—their team has been responsive, professional, and incredibly pleasant to work with. Their Pamir needle set reflects that same care and attention to detail: beautifully made, thoughtfully packaged, and designed with the real needs of knitters in mind.
At The Yarny Way, we’ve already been testing their individual circulars and found them remarkably smooth, with memory-free stainless steel cables that rival some of the most popular (and often harder to obtain) systems out there.
Now we’re considering bringing the full Lotus 5 Pamir set to the shop—and we’d love your input before we commit.

Why “Pamir”?
The name Pamir comes from the Pamir Mountains, a majestic range in Central Asia often called the “Roof of the World.” It’s a fitting name for a needle set that feels elevated—both in quality and design.
Just like the mountains themselves, the Lotus Pamir set is strong, enduring, and beautifully refined. It’s a nod to nature, heritage, and the high standards knitters deserve.
