ChiaoGoo Red Lace Circular 16 inch (40cm) Stainless Steel Knitting Needle Size US 8 (5mm) 7016-8

The package says size 8, but the ChiaGoo stainless steel knitting needles that I received are etched with a size 3 on the actual needle. I have never had this happen before, so Im not sure why there is this discrepancy. I wanted another size 8 of circular needles so that I could work on my sweater sleeves simultaneously. However, I think it would be too much of a hassle to return these for actual size 8 needles in a 16 size, so I will keep them and hopefully use them for some other project. That being said, ChiaGoo circulars have become virtually the only knitting needles that I will use. I am accumulating quite a set and use them often. They are very high quality and fly through the stitches wonderfully, no snags.

My favorite needles. Perfect size for hats in the round.

Like everything about these circular needles. I find them to be the best all around for ease of use and durability.

No cord getting in the way. Will be great for knitting hats, mittens and baby garments.

My favorite knitting needles. Best chord out there as it does not kink or have any memory.

What is not to love with Chiaogoos?

I have used these needles for several years now and enjoy the feel when knitting and the quality

I love these needles, the points are just sharp enough and the cables are very flexible.

good quality, smooth joins

In my opinion ChiAgoo needles are the best. They have nice points on them that enable you to get into the stitches nicely, and very importantly they have no-memory cables. I highly recommend these needles.
