CHIAOGOO Red Ribbon Double Point Stainless Steel Knitting Needle Set, 6-Inch

ok

I love my Chiaogoo needles. I previously bought the complete set of 4 circulars so when it came time to invest in some DPNs to try making socks, I knew I would be entirely happy with these. I have been proven right and adore them.

Bellissimi, arrivati secondo i tempi stabiliti. Ho ricevuto i calibri: 2.00mm; 2.25mm; 2.50mm; 2.75mm; 3.00m; 3.25mm per ogni calibro ci sono 5 ferri da 15cm, olografati con il loro calibro. Ho ricevuto inoltre una gauge,che mi sembra molto precisa e dei marcapunti circolari (una decina in tutto) colorati. La custodia e molto funzionale dotata di tutte la zip necessarie per non far scappare i ferri - al contrario delle custodie Hiaya Hiya che invece sono scomodissime - e di una taschina laterale dove poter riporre i numeri mancanti.

Now I want them in the larger sizes!!! I only use ChiaoGoo needles now. They are simply the best for me! Their points are nice and sharp so Im not stabbing into yarn. The case is nice as well!

LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE.

Solid value.

I am working on some socks and they work great for that. I havent mastered the magic loop technique, so i prefer dpn for small look projects. These are great! Good point on them and i always have preferred metal needles over wooden.

Very nice to have. Not only handy but handles well with most yarns I use for socks.

Im an experienced knitter, who has used wood, aluminum, bamboo, steel, plastic, and even candy-colored casein sock needles. These measure up well. There is no bend to the small gauge needles. The surface is smooth, but with a wool blend yarn (the only fiber I have tried w these so far) the needles are not too slippery. You KNOW how dreadful it is to use needles w a surface like wet glass, stitches slipping all over. Not so w these. As for the points, they are sharp, but not so sharp that they hurt if I need some leverage to work a stitch. Whether you will split yarn more or less frequently w them depends, I suppose, on how you knit. I do not find that I split reliable yarn w these needles. But if there is a particularly splitty yarn (and there is some dreadful sock yarn out there), then you will probably split w these too. I knit my basic ribbing and stockinette more by touch than by sight. You get more and more presbyopic and see if YOU dont do the same! I find the points very effective at catching the stitch.

Love love love. I cannot put these needles down. Everyone told me that metal needles are too slippery for double-pointed knitting and that I should go with bamboo instead. Im glad I chose the metal. I havent had a problem with stitches slipping at all.
