Customer Reviews

Brilliant for smaller knitting projects in the round

This set is brilliant for those smaller knitting projects in the round - particularly those of us who find DPNs unwieldy (it might be my natural clumsiness at issue!) and using a magic loop to be tedious. I got these in time to happily knit the sleeves of my latest project in the round instead of altering the pattern to knit the sleeves flat and sew them up afterwards.

Thanks Susan, and congratulations on knitting those sleeves in the round as written – seaming sleeves is nobody's favourite job! The Shorties are a great fix for anyone who's fallen out with DPNs.

About

ChiaoGoo

An interchangeable set is the sensible way to buy needles: tips in every size, cables in every length, and one case to keep the lot in.

Twist Red Lace is the stainless steel set – sharp lace tips, and a multi-strand steel cable with no memory in it at all, so it hangs straight instead of coiling up. Spin is the bamboo version, on a clear nylon cable that lets the tips swivel as you work.

Shorties are the ones worth knowing about: 5 and 8 centimetre tips that make up circulars as short as 23 centimetres, for sleeves, hats and anything else too small to go comfortably round a normal needle.
