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

The product is amazing as expected. I’m a chiaogoo fan. The needles are perfect for sleeves and socks.

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.

Ive seen these needles floating around on Youtube and every knitting video log/podcast I watch where the person owned these, the consensus was that these were a game changer...especially for sleeve knits. I was a little apprehensive about buying these online (none of my LYSs had these sets) since the reviews were a bit mixed where people either loved them or felt they got knock off needles.

I bought this set to use instead of magic loop and dpns. I know they will take some getting used to, but so far loving them I am doing this review mainly because there was another reviewer who stated that this set was counterfeit. That had me worried because the price was so much better, so I looked up on the Chiaigoo site where they talk about counterfeits and can see clearly that these are genuine.

I am not a fan of metallic needles but this set is simply awesome, every technical detail about it is perfect, the extra accessories and the pouches, the fact i can mix&match the 5cm and the 8 cm from the same needle size ...

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.

Love the shorties. Shouldve gotten them a long time ago. They are on the expensive side but if youre a long term knitter, you should get this set.

These are great to use for your knitting. These are so easy to use. If you like using 9 in circulars, you would love using these for your different projects like the sleeves of the sweater, socks, baby garments, etc.

I got one of these as a gift then bought a second set so I could make flexible DPNs with the triple set of blue 2inch X-flex twist cables. They work like a dream. Now I have flex DPNs in US 4, ,5 ,6,7,& 8 they never slip out! Awesome! And the ChiaoGoo blue shorties are extremely versatile when you already own any ChiaoGoo sets- they are all interchangeable - the blue with any small hubs. I love the blue x-flex cables too. Use the connectors to make various lengths- they come in 5,6 and 8 inch in the blue zippered case. Since I own 2 sets the variety is virtually endless. Knitted Toys, sleeves, baby items, mittens, gloves, and more. The case is so efficient too-10sets of tips in 1 tiny bag. 2inch and 3 inch in 5 sizes. You can even use one of each. Along with the blue consider The red are below US4 and the yellow US9 and above. The quality of these short stainless steel tips are excellent-the cables are similar to the beloved red twists but even better. Visit ChiaoGoo Divas on fb for more information.

This kit is perfect for dk, worsted, aran, and maybe up to bulky weight socks. I am currently using the needles for a sleeve on a DK sweater. There arent too many other companies (if at all) that do circulars this small in an interchangable set.
