ChiaoGoo Red Circular 16 inch (41cm) Stainless Steel Knitting Needle Size US 6 (4mm) 6016-6

I bought these needles to replace some wooden Lantern Moon needles. The needles have a slight bend in them which makes the circle easier to handle. I started with my Addi Clicks but the needles were so long that it felt really awkward. I switched to the Lantern Moon which are lovely to look at but the join between the needle and the cord was terrible. None of the stitches would slip so it slowed me down. The ChiaoGoo are everything I want in a circular needle. The tips are just a bit blunt so they dont split the yarn. The needles have a slight bend so the resulting circle feels very natural. The stitches slip right over the join between the needle and the cord. I highly recommend these needles.

My new favorite needles. Points are sharp and cable does not twist in uncomfortable positions. Very smooth join. I have several sizes and lengths. I use for sock knitting 9 circular as sell as 30 for sweaters. Will be buying more to fill in all sizes.

Perfectly good knitting needles for a fair enough price. No complaints.

I am knitting with it.

I’ve had many ChiaoGoo needles in the past but didn’t realize this one is just “Red” and has a down part at the end of the needle instead of straight like the “Lace” style.

Prompt shipment, item as described.

This is the nicest circular needle that Ive knitted with. Im using a 16 needle for knitting a hat and the other needles Ive used before have a stiff cable or a transition from needle to cable that isnt smooth and that catches stitches. This Chiagoo needle is very smooth and the cable is totally flexible. Knitting with it is really a pleasure. I thought it was pretty pricey, but now Im happy that I have it.

Started knitting with the needles the day I got them. Couldnt wait. Love the feel of the needles in my hands and able to manipulate yarn and needle as one. Best brand ever. Tried bamboo needles and couldnt work with them.

Love the them sharp points and flexable cables. Perfect for hats.

This needle has the bent tips, which simply don’t work for a 16” needle. I found it nearly impossible to use--very awkward at best. I had to rip the decrease part of the project because the stitches were so loose due to the difficulty of doing the decreases with the bent points. I’ve ordered another needle and will toss this one with pleasure in spite of only using it once.
