ChiaoGoo Red Lace Circular 47 inch (119cm) Stainless Steel Knitting Needle Size US 8 (5mm) 7047-8

Im a very stubborn fan of Signature needles and their uber-sharp Stiletto points, but can only afford them once in a while. Ive searched in vain for a circular needle with the long, sharp point and no-memory, flexible cable of the Signature (their second generation, of course. Anyone unfortunate enough to have shelled out over $40 for the first has my full empathy!) but the closest Ive come until now was the Addi Lace and the Addi Rockets. I like the point of the Lace but the slick coating of the Rockets. The price is still not great, but much cheaper than the Signatures. Then I found the Chiao Goo Red Lace Circulars! Truly sharp, slick, and the cables are amazing! Right out of the package they unfurl into a strong, flexible unit with the tips. The joins are undetectable. They dont have the swivel join, which I usually really like, but so far thats the only slight imperfection. I purchased these in sizes six, seven, and eight with 40 and 47-inch cables. I like them so much that I plan to get the sock sizes in 47-inch for Magic Loop, with which I normally use 40 cables. These cables are not quite as thin and flexible as the 2nd generation Signature needles, so the extra 7 might be necessary for the extra loops in Magic Loop. Overall, for filling in the gaps of my circular needle sizes, these Red Lace circs have come the closest to the $44 Stilettos, at a fraction of the price.

The ChiaoGood needles are great. They’re nice and slick, they haven’t dulled like some less quality needles tend to do. The cord isn’t stiff which makes it easy to knit with. I will definitely be buying more needles from this brand.

I love love love these! This brand so far as been very reliable

Bought this for my crafty aunt and she said it works great.

I like using the Chair goo knitting needles, especially the lace needles. They are smooth and the longer tips make stitching much easier.

Great needles and so light. Love that I don’t have to worry about them disconnecting when working on large blanket.

These needles are fantastic! I already own a pair in a smaller size and have been using them for quite some time. I really like how light, pointy and smooth they are. Great money value too.

I love these needles - they are my go to favorites and I will continue to purchase until I have them all!!!!

Very nice. They straighten out better than others.

My wife LOVES them! I cant tell you why, Im a weaver not a knitter, but I got them for her to try and shes thrilled.
