ChiaoGoo Red Lace Circular 32 inch (81cm) Stainless Steel Knitting Needle Size US 3 (3.25mm) 7032-3

I hate knitting with double pointed needles, so I always use circular needles and the magic loop method. This is the first time Ive used the stainless steel cable, and it is fantastic. Doesnt roll or kink up. Its as smooth as regular knitting even on size 2 or 3.

Great needles and the cord is nice and pliable. Fast shipping.

Perfect for magic loop project. Needed pointy needles of certain length

I have many sets of high end knitting needles and this by far has become one of my favorites. I have been wanting to try them for a long time but couldnt justify buying another expensive set of needles let alone jumping in on a whole new set. I started a new sweater and didnt have a small size (2 & 3) for it so I was able to order the single needle I needed. I can say this needle did not disappoint! Its sleek and smooth for faster knitting and the small stitches are just flying on the long lace design. This needle is lightweight and easy to use. The sharp point is perfect for working with small stitches and makes it super easy to slide the stitches when working. I have a reason now to buy a new set and will definitely be asking Santa (husband) for an interchangeable set for Christmas!

nice needles

So I’m SUPER impressed with the cable on these things. The needles came coiled in the package and normally when they are package in a coil shape, this puts a “memory” into the cable and they will not straighten out no matter what you do. They just stayed looped and get in your way. These however, have almost no memory. The only memory that exists in them is right where the cable connects to the needles, which is literally not a problem whatsoever. The only issue I have with these needles is the material of the needles themselves. They feel like hard aluminum and have a strange texture that drives my senses crazy when they slide across each other. Normally when you buy a pair of metal needles, they are slick and the yarn glides across. The needles have a slightly “rough” texture that doesn’t allow the yarn to glide (and also creates that teeth-clenching sound), and I suppose the texture is designed to do just that: keep the yarn from sliding where you don’t want it to.

Just finished a project with these needles; easy to knit with!

Love love love chaigo needles! Best Buy yourself a set of these & you won’t be replacing! Work slides nicely. Needles have a “pointer” needles allowing you to go into tight/ complicated stitches. I’ve purchased other sets but will only use these. Honestly upset I didn’t buy these first. Will eventually have a complete set….perfect for any level of proficiency and any project. No need for any other needles (you can knit on them like straight needles but weight of work distributed to both hands).

This was the best needles for doing Magic Loop!

As a knitter of 60 years, I have finally found the perfect needles! These have fine lace tips but the real selling point is the cable. The needle/cable join is seamless. The lack of “memory “ in the cable makes it a joy to work with. I have discarded all of my other needles.
