ChiaoGoo Red Lace Circular 32 inch (81cm) Stainless Steel Knitting Needle Size US 1.5 (2.5mm) 7032-1.5

Super slick, not too pointy and the cord is HEAVENLY!!! I did wipe the needles and cord off with alcohol before using as suggested by another review. This removed whatever finishing product is on them and they glided through my knitting without hesitation. Beautiful needles!

The first time I order this needle I received the wrong size (US 1/2.25mm instead of US 1.5/2.50mm). It was not a big deal because I also use that size for socks so I decided to keep it and order again. The second one I received was also the wrong size so I request a replacement. Well the replacement was the wrong size AGAIN!!!

I havent used aluminum needles in a while and I found it makes my stitches neater vs wood because the yarn slides if I change tension stitch to stitch. The cord is metal wire covered in plastic and therefore does not get kinks in it. Great product.

I thought about buying Sock Rockets (another brand) but they advertised themselves as for expert knitters. I think its because theyre super slippery. Im not an expert; in fact, Im just teaching myself to knit socks (yay YouTube!) These are just the right texture--the stitches dont inadvertently slip off, but I can knit smoothly with them.

I have three sock needles and this is my favorite. I am not a fan of chiaogoo interchangeable needles but I love this fixed needle it’s smooth. The cable has the quality chiaogoo is famous for and the needles are nice and long perfect for socks

Great product

The yarn slides on and off these needles at the connection without and hitches! They are great!

Unfortunately, I still dont LOVE knitting socks, but these needles are top notch. Incredibly smooth join. Wonderfully flexible cable. I have zero complaints about these needles! They make knitting socks bearable. If you love knitting socks, you will probably love these even more!

I bought this to free up another interchangeable set for a fine lace project and make a quick pair of socks. I usually depend on my Hiya Hiyas, but I am very pleased with the quality of this Chai Goo fixed cable sock needle. If anything, their cable flexibility exceeds Hiya Hiya (and everyone else, too) while being securely and smoothly joined to the needle. There is a lot of value in this Chai Goo circular, and I think I will be using it more and more for these kinds of projects.

Thank you!
