ChiaoGoo Red Lace Circular 16 inch (41cm) Stainless Steel Knitting Needle Size US 4 (3.5mm) 7016-4

This circular needle is very well made. I used it for a tightly gauged watch cap that turned out perfectly. The sharp points and smooth joins helped me avoid splitting the yarn.

I needed a circular set at 16 inches and got this brand, as I had not tried them before. Its a good needle. My only dislike would be that the needle doesnt curve down near the cord, straining that joint a bit. Other than that, very nice needle.

They are perfect! Slide easily and accurately. Best needles for hat making that I have ever used. I BAC am on hat 115 to donate to new, legal refugees and homeless vets.

After making only 2 hats, the cord separated from the needle. Very disappointed...dropped many stitches when it broke...had to resort to using bamboo dpns which had to be continually filed smooth to avoid snagging my alpaca yarn. Has anyone else had their chiao goo needles separate?

Best needles I have used. Sturdy, smooth, and functional in their design.

these needles are my favorites

Im so pleased with these needles. As a beginner knitter, Ive only tried straight needles until these were recommended to me. I use them for everything, both flat and round knitting. Theyre just pointy enough for me, and the yarn slides right along both the needle and the cord, making knitting so much easier. Ill certainly buy more in other sizes.

Really nice pointed tips, I am using these for a very cable heavy hat and I cable without a needle to the points have to be spot on. This is my first ChiaGoo needle purchase but I will definitely be buying more. I normally use Addi Turbo Rockets but this might just be my new go to needle company.

These are perfect needles-- nice sharp points, flexible cables with sturdy joins, and inexpensive to boot. Whats not to love?!

Great needles and the right size. 3 mm is hard to find since it is a 2 1/2 inch US needle size. Fast shiPPing
