ChiaoGoo Red Circular 12-inch (30cm) Stainless Steel Knitting Needle; Size US 6 (4mm) 6012-6

Perfect for me. Some needles are hard to find. Easy to use.

Excellent service, excellent needles

This isn’t the first pair of Chia Goo needles I’ve bought. They’re solid and well-made, and feel good in my hands. The cord is flexible and strong, and the steel needle tips move smoothly. The unusual length, 12 inches, comes in handy with making smaller items in the rounds, such as sleeves. I imagine I’ll be buying more by Chia Goo in the future. They’re pricy, but worth it.

Love these needles. They are smooth and easy for making socks without all those needles sticking out. Ive already made three pair of knee socks for the nieces and am working on some for the nephew.

Good quality knitting needles. I really like the red ChiaGoo cable.

Just love this stainless steel brand of circular needles. I now have quite a few of them in different sizes. Yarn glides very easy no matter brand you use. Great buy.

great for baby hats.

I wish I could give more than three stars because they are very well made. I was looking forward to using the 12” circular for knitting baby caps for charity. When I measured the needle size with my Susan Bates Knit-Chek gauge, i found the #6 size was closer to a #5. I decided to go ahead and give them a trial run and discovered because of the extremely limited knitting space they were actually knitting loosely to a larger than #6 gauge and I usually knit to a tight gauge. And as someone else mentioned, I also got a cramp in my hand from manipulating them. I will give them another try, but for now, I prefer knitting small circular items with the magic loop method.

My knitting style keeps the yarn close to the point of the needles, so I appreciate a well-pointed style thats also strong and smooth. I have been frustrated by circular needles that have broken at the connection between the plastic and metal or wooden parts, or have been too broad at the tips considering my style. Too, I most often create with more than one yarn, which makes strength, durability, good points that dont split the yarns, and a join that isnt rough, necessary. I tried ChiaGoo needles a few years ago, and fell in love with their quality. I have never had a set come apart because the join between the metal and plastic-covered wire is so complete. The tips are smooth and have aided my speed. Theyre easy to hold. And the price is reasonable. I will never buy any other kind unless I just cant find ChiaGoos on the market. These are excellent knitting needles for my style.

These tiny circular needles with the slight curve at the join are absolutely perfect for knitting sleeves in the round. The result is smooth and even and they are evermore convenient to use than double pointed needles or the magic needle method.
