ChiaoGoo Red Lace Circular 32 inch (81cm) Stainless Steel Knitting Needle Size US 3 (3.25mm) 7032-3

Package arrived promptly and item in excellent condition. The needles cord is a soft silicone with absolutely no bends or curling. So easy to knit with them, and easily fit my 640 stitches. This company is my new favorite as the merchandise is excellent, and the price was lower than at the chain stores. You can’t go wrong with this vendor.

So I’m SUPER impressed with the cable on these things. The needles came coiled in the package and normally when they are package in a coil shape, this puts a “memory” into the cable and they will not straighten out no matter what you do. They just stayed looped and get in your way. These however, have almost no memory. The only memory that exists in them is right where the cable connects to the needles, which is literally not a problem whatsoever. The only issue I have with these needles is the material of the needles themselves. They feel like hard aluminum and have a strange texture that drives my senses crazy when they slide across each other. Normally when you buy a pair of metal needles, they are slick and the yarn glides across. The needles have a slightly “rough” texture that doesn’t allow the yarn to glide (and also creates that teeth-clenching sound), and I suppose the texture is designed to do just that: keep the yarn from sliding where you don’t want it to.

I usd it to replace the same size but different brand while Knitting a scarf. I will only use this brand of circular needles from now on.

I wish there wasnt a bend in the join. Its hard to slide non-stretchy DK yarn over it. Fortunately my fingering weight yarn is stretchy.

Best knitting needles

Chiaogoo knitting needles are the best. Flexible cable, smooth needles.

Love the pointy tips of ChiaoGoo Red Lace circs, but I also love that the cable doesnt kink or wind up on itself like some others.

Great quality and comfort for knitting.

Knitting Socks

I usually use interchangeable needles but I needed a smaller size than my set has so I bought because they were inexpensive but I know Chiagoos are good. They were amazing! Felt great to use and the connection at the cable feels really secure like I wont have any problems with it! I would definitely recommend them to any knitter who likes metal needles.
