ChiaoGoo Knitting Needle, Red, Size-US-1-(2.25mm)

I bought these because one of my Knit Picks sock needles broke in the middle of a pair of socks. I liked these needles so much that I replaced my entire Knit Picks sock needle set with a set of these instead. Theyre light, durable, the ends are pointy enough for complex lace work, and the yarn slides easily. Definitely recommend.

I could never say anything bad about Chiaogoo. They are always so perfect.

These are fine and sturdy needles that many will love. For me, however, theyre not slippery enough. They have a satin-type finish that just doesnt slide as smoothly as I like as a knitter. I prefer Knit Picks.

wonderful needles

Chiagoo makes excellent knitting needles. I have and love their Double Pointed Needles as well as their metal interchangeable circulars and metal fixed circulars. I have not tried any of their other knitting needles. But these are my favorite needles for nearly all of my knitting projects. This company stands by their product. These might be a little more costly but they are worth the money.

Best I have ever used.

These needles are comparable in sharpness to hiya hiya sharps and I love the fact that the size is laser etched onto each needle. I have not had any problems with stitches slipping off the needles but the satin finish makes the stitches easy to pick. I love that it comes with 5 needles instead of 4 and the price on this product was amazing for the quality.

Smooth but not slippery. Nice length.

They are very smooth. Nothing catches the yarn and they each have the size on it.

Im only a few rows into my project, but these are strong and have nice tips. Not too slippery, but dont catch either.
