ChiaoGoo Twist Shorties Stainless Steel Interchangeable Set, 2-inch and 3-inch (5 and 8cm) Small (7230-S)

After using a complete(5inch) product, I bought it because I had faith in the needle of Chiaogoo. I was a little worried because the nib is a short needle, but it fits well with my hands and I am using it without much difficulty. I really like it.

Great little set!

This will be great for socks & sleeves!

A must for sleeves, hats and mitts. I do love the flexiflips or the hiyahiya version but these make quick work of sleeves without any laddering.

Love these so much I am getting the yellow set (larger needles). I use DPNs pretty well but find them to be too long for small projects. I like these small circulars so much better. I have had to use DPNs with them to close up a hat or socks, but the knitting is much less fiddly than with the DPNs and goes faster. I have had to tighten them while knitting but its not a big deal, I just keep an eye on them. The tightening keys really help to reduce the need to do this. I think it depends on how much pressure I am putting on the needles with my stitch patterns.

These smaller needles allow me to make smaller-sized winter caps without fighting the ladders that I tend to get with magic loop. I’m concerned about the blue cord being more slender than the Chaiogoo red cords, but no problem yet. And, depending on the pattern, I can use these 2” & 3” tips with the smallest red cord with the smaller ends.

Why did I wait so long? These are amazing needles. Very smooth with a flawless connection. I have another set of interchangeable needles but these are superior. I have also purchased the Red Lace Interchangeable set now. I would recommend these needles to anyone who enjoys knitting. I use only natural fibers so I can’t speak of how these preform with synthetic yarns. They yarn just glides over the needles but they’re no slick that the yarn slides off easily. Don’t wait, this set has a lot to offer in such a small pouch. I watched some youtube reviews before I made the decision. I’m very glad I did.

I love Chiagoo needles and this set of shorties for small circumferences (sleeves or socks, etc) are versatile and well made. The set is very compact and great for travel. They are pricey but I find Chiagoo to be my favorite needles.

A great product for travel and carry along in your notions bag for just in case you need a certain needle.

I am really enjoying this set. The shorter cables are great, although they fit the cables for the normal size needles as well. Wonderful for small circular knitting.
