ChiaoGoo SS Red Lace Circular, 40-Inch (100 cm), US 1.5 (2.5 mm)

Sharp tips, smooth joins, strong cable. Perfect for magic loop method. Currently using them for two at a time technique socks and I have no worries about if the cable or join will hold. These needles combine strength and flexibility for an ideal knitting experience.

Love love these circular needles. By far the best make I’ve come across. The cord doesn’t twist like some. Highly recommend

ChiaGood red lace circular needles are best because the cords are so flexible. I realize i am not a fan of inter changeable needles - they just sit in my drawer because they tend to come apart. ChiaGood fixed needles are very light and needle heads are very smooth. I don't know what material the cord is made out of but it is different than any other circular needles I have.

I love these needles and have already written a review on another size. Pros: The cables are fantastic - you can roll them up for storage but they fall straight when unrolled unlike other cables I often have to straighten out in warm water prior to use after storage. The between the cable and the needles is solid. No gaps, no catching, even after lots of use. The needles are fast. Nicely formed tips, not too sharp nor blunt. Cons - barely: Due to the cord having a metal core (which provides the cord-related "pros" above) it is slightly less flexible than a simple plastic cable. If you use the Magic Loop technique a lot with a shorter cable you may want to order a longer length on these needles just for comfort. As with almost all metal needles they can be too slippery for certain types of yarns, especially for novice knitters.

I have been knitting socks using the magic loop with other brands of needles. I read a review of the Chaioboo needles and have to say they are the BEST I have used. The cables and needle join is smooth. I love the flexibility and softness but not too soft cables. These are the best circular needles. As I need them I will be replacing my other circular needle sizes with Chiaoboo needles.

For a while I had been using some cheap Knit Picks circular needles to knit socks with the magic loop method. I hadn't realized what a difference quality needles would make! The join on these is so smooth I don't even notice the transition from cable to needle, whereas with the cheap needles I was wasting so much time pulling my stitches over the lumpy join on every single round. These needles are also very comfortable in my hands, the yarn glides smoothly, and I work very quickly and efficiently. I find I can knit for longer periods without my hands starting to ache too. I have some slight misgivings about how well they may hold up over time-- years ago I knit a big afghan on chiaogoo circulars, and the cable snapped off from the needle on TWO pairs. However, the project was much larger and heavier, which may have put strain on the joins. I'm hoping I will never run into this problem working with smaller, lighter projects. So far with this pair I can say it has been completely worth the investment.

Best brand. Durable, FLEXIBLE, trusted, for smooth knitting.

Having used many brands of circular knitting needles over the years, I am finding these to be among the best. They are very well made with clean joins that prevent snagging, a very sturdy cable that relaxes with minimal use so you are not constantly trying to uncoil it while knitting, and the price is amazing when compared to other company's for the same if not better quality, especially considering the small gauge. Have already bought needles from this provider again.

Adoro tejer con ellas, no solo por el cable que es muy resistente y no se deforma, sino también por las puntas, son las mejores que hay en el mercado en mi opinión.

Très bon produit, Chiagoo fait partie des meilleures marques d'aiguilles.. Qualité de l'aiguille et du fil qui est souple.. Elle glisse bien et le connecteur aiguille fil est parfait, et n'accroche pas. Je recommande.

Très bon produit bien fait

Arrived quickly, expensive but worth it as the cords do not twist like others so easier to use. Points are sharp so easy to pick up stitches. Would buy again but watch when ordering you don’t mistake the size as prominent shows in US sizing and I made a mistake with first pair ordered.

Ganz großartig :) Nicht mal frisch aus der Packung verdreht sich das Seil, die Maschen flutschen ohne irgendwo hängenzubleiben über die Verbindungsstelle. Die Nadeln sind schön spitz und es lässt sich super damit stricken. Das sind mittlerweile meine Lieblingsnadeln und sicher nicht die einzigen von dieser Marke, die ich zu Hause habe ;)
