ChiaoGoo Twist Stainless Steel Interchangeable Set, 5-inch (13cm) Complete (7500-C)

There were no directions with the kit. I had to call the company for directions to use the set. The representive was very helpful, but I can not review these instructions and dont know how to use other parts. I am a novice at knitting and can use direction.

I have been knitting since 1967. Over the years I have had at least five different brands of interchangeable needles. After trying ChiaoGoo Twist Red Lace interchangeables, I will never go back to another brand. I bought the complete interchangeable kit from size 2 - 15 as well as a separate #2.25 for socks.The cables have no memory; they never fight me. I can easily knit using the Magic Loop, knitting in the round, or knitting flat. Since there are two sizes of cable joins (one for sizes 2 - 8 and one for sizes 9 - 15), the join is not too large for the smaller needles. I have found the join to be consistently smooth. I find the points on the lace tips to be sharp enough for intricate stitches but not so sharp that they hurt my fingers. I like knitting with metal points as opposed to wood. They grip the yarn just enough that its not too slippery, but slides easily. In fact, I love ChiaoGoo needles so much that I bought a second complete kit and got rid of all my other needles.

This is the first interchangeable needles set I have purchased. It is great having all the sizes I might need in one place. I have had ZERO issue with the needles coming loose from their cables, I always make sure to tighten with the supplied keys. The joints where the needles and cable come together never catch on my yarn, this was a fear of mine when purchasing an interchangeable set but it hasnt been a problem.

My wife loves it. No defects or other issues. She has used it for about six projects so far with no issues. She has commented that its very slippery (i.e. the yarn slides off very easily) but never in complaining way.

New knitter and these make it much easier. Cords do not come loose and are sturdy.

Love them!

I learned long ago that buying quality products is the smart way to go. Well, this certainly holds true with this purchase of my ChiaoGoo Twist Red Lace Interchangeable Circular needles set. Im a novice knitter. I figured out very quickly that I did not want to use straight needles - so awkward! So I bought an inexpensive set of circular needles. Better, but I had to constantly fight the cables that would not uncoil. This really took the joy out of knitting.

Good item good shipping.

I love this set. This is the first time Ive used interchangeable needles. I definitely would have given this product five stars all the way, BUT I am missing the 22 wire for the large needles and I am also missing the 10.5 needles. Today was the first time I went to use the larger needles to do a swatch, and I only have the 13 and the 30. Needless to say, Im really disappointed.

These are absolutely the best circular knitting needles out there. This is my second set. I now have 4 and 5 inch sets. I have other high end circular needle sets but these I love!! Cotton yarn glides like butter and I can knit like my grandma who has been knitting for 90 years with merino wool yarn (she’s past 100 years of age). I just love these. The best investment I’ve made in a long time. Shipping was so fast too. The cord is fantastic. The stainless part is not heavy, just right and not too slippery either. I’m a pro knitter with these even if I’m not!! :)
