ChiaoGoo Twist Stainless Steel Interchangeable Set, 4-inch (10cm) Complete (7400-C)

I have been trying to knit with cheap needles. What a difference! I can really feel what I am doing and catch mistakes easier.

In doubt, buy the 4-inch set, so you can knit hats with ease. Once you get used to the slippery feel, you will not want another set of needles. Very good quality.

Knitting,

I am so disappointed in this set. When I received it, one of the needles was half-threaded onto a cable. It was completely stuck, as if it had been misthreaded, and I could neither screw it on all the way nor screw it apart. I cut my losses and decided to use a different size, and half of the needle tips are unuseable because the screws are misthreaded.

so I bought a less expensive set when I started knitting thinking there couldnt be that much of a difference. Oh boy was I wrong, these are amazing and if you are planning on doing knitting for an actual hobby or past time I highly recommend these needles, the cords are super flexible and easy to work with and just the over all feel of them is great with next to no pull on the yarn as you work.

Cannot yet speak to the durability of this set, but very pleased overall so far! Edit: so far Ive knit a hat, half a shawl (frogged...), and just started a blanket. No issues whatsoever.

I knit for almost 50 years, since i was a child, and these needles are the best I ever had.

I loved this brands regular metal circular needles over interchangeable or bamboo, but this was cheaper than buying a bunch of different sizes and I love the convenience and tidiness for storage. I am a novice knitter and I make hats for cancer patients and need different sizes of needles. These are smooth and the yarn does not catch where it is screwed together unless it starts to loosen, which is maybe two or three times per project. Maybe it wouldnt happen with a more experienced knitter, plus there is a tightening rod that might keep that from happening as often. Either way, it is just a few turns to tighten them while the yard stays in place. Takes seconds. The 4-inch are short for me but work well on hats and its only on a few patterns that I have to switch to double point. Highly recommend.

I’d like the cord to be more floppy but it’s still OK. The cord attaches very securely.
