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

These are amazing. I love them so much! Perfect amount of slick, and nice, sharp tips. You don’t get any better than Chiaogoo.

I have several sets of DPNs, but this is the only set I carry around with me. The carrying case is a great size for tucking into a project bag and pretty cute too. I never think I will need different sizes of DPNs with me, but I am always out somewhere when I decide I need to go down/up a needle size. The print on the needles is pretty small, but it seems like it wont rub off as easily as other sets I have, which were gone before the first sock was finished. Ive gotten through a pair of socks with these and the sizing is still on there (albeit necessarily quite small) and doesnt appear to be coming off. It looks like they have changed the product and not updated the photos. The case has a label for each size of needle (both size and mm on the label), so its easy to see which set is in use if they arent in their pocket. [I posted a picture of mine and have requested Amazon update their product photo]

Love using them

I love ChiaoGoo circular needles and wanted a set of double pointed needles as well. I havent used these yet but after I take my sock class this month I am sure I will be using them frequently.

I have a complete set of Hiya Hiya interchangeables, but I fell in love with these Chai Goo sock sizes DPNs. Since I have used them once so far, I can’t speak to sturdiness for these, but if they are like other CG products, they should last a long time under normal use. They are nice and smooth with sharp points that don’t catch even on slightly splitty yarn, so I am very happy.

These are great. My knitting is much faster on these than the bamboo I was using. Sharp- but not too sharp. Perfect - and very reasonably priced as a set.

The zipper in the case arrived broken. The needles are great. I can store extra dpns in there as well. The zipper does not close so the needles spill out occasionally.

Sharp, smooth, compact. I love these needles. I love the little case, it is so portable and is a good quality piece. You can never have too many sock needles! I used to be an Addi Turbo fan, but these needles have a much better point, like the Addi lace tip- on all their needles.

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.

I love these needles and from here on out - Im only going to use Chiaogoo!
