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

I have the full set of needles in the case but also purchased extra accessories as I usually have a couple of projects going at the same time so these were added to my set. Best knitting needles and cords ever!

I just discovered ChiaGoo fixed circulars and they are great needles. The red cord makes me happy. I still love my Addis, but ChiaGoo is also a great needle.

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.

Very nice. They straighten out better than others.

ChiaoGoo Red Lace Circulars are my FAVORITE go-to knitting needles. I knit magic loop in the round and these are, in my opinion, the very BEST you can buy for that technique. I have them in MANY sizes and lengths...and love using them. The tips are soooooo wonderful for doing knitted lacework, too. I recommend them for ALL your knitting needs. And, the price is awesome, too!

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 the Chia Goo needles. Even though I have the interchangeable set I really like this kind. Sometimes the yarn gets caught on the interchangeable ones or they get loose, but not with these fixed needles. I love the stainless steel . I highly recommend them.

Love the point and smooth joins...
