ChiaoGooRED Lace Circular Needle 100cm 2.50mm - 1pc

I'm using these needles to knit socks. The tips are finely pointed which is very helpful for working the cables, slip stitches, decreases and picking up stitches for the gusset. The cables are very flexible making working magic loop very easy.

I have been knitting socks using the magic loop with other brands of needles. I read a review of the Chaioboo needles and have to say they are the BEST I have used. The cables and needle join is smooth. I love the flexibility and softness but not too soft cables. These are the best circular needles. As I need them I will be replacing my other circular needle sizes with Chiaoboo needles.

Got this to do my first clothing knitting project and it is going super smooth. They are easy to hold and there is enough room for the project so it doesn't bunch up. You have to watch what your doing so the knots don't slip off the end but I love these needles!!!

Needles are light and sharp so you get into those stitches , the cords are light and flexible

I love these needles and have already written a review on another size.Pros:The cables are fantastic - you can roll them up for storage but they fall straight when unrolled unlike other cables I often have to straighten out in warm water prior to use after storage.The between the cable and the needles is solid. No gaps, no catching, even after lots of use.The needles are fast. Nicely formed tips, not too sharp nor blunt.Cons - barely:Due to the cord having a metal core (which provides the cord-related "pros" above) it is slightly less flexible than a simple plastic cable. If you use the Magic Loop technique a lot with a shorter cable you may want to order a longer length on these needles just for comfort.As with almost all metal needles they can be too slippery for certain types of yarns, especially for novice knitters.

For a while I had been using some cheap Knit Picks circular needles to knit socks with the magic loop method. I hadn't realized what a difference quality needles would make! The join on these is so smooth I don't even notice the transition from cable to needle, whereas with the cheap needles I was wasting so much time pulling my stitches over the lumpy join on every single round. These needles are also very comfortable in my hands, the yarn glides smoothly, and I work very quickly and efficiently. I find I can knit for longer periods without my hands starting to ache too.I have some slight misgivings about how well they may hold up over time-- years ago I knit a big afghan on chiaogoo circulars, and the cable snapped off from the needle on TWO pairs. However, the project was much larger and heavier, which may have put strain on the joins. I'm hoping I will never run into this problem working with smaller, lighter projects. So far with this pair I can say it has been completely worth the investment.

I got these for sock knitting because I wanted to try something besides double pointed needles. From the glowing reviews I really expected to increase my speed and just like them better than my trusty dpns. They are nice, the cable is very flexible with no issue of curling; the tips are very nice, sharp and thin making it easy to work with sock yarns. That I really do like.Now for the down side, the join of the needles to the cable really drags and catches the yarn. I have to push the stitches onto the needle every time I turn my work. This slows me down considerably. With my dpns I pretty much go round and round not slowing down for much. But these I have to work with at every turn. Very annoying.Maybe I'm a tight knitter or some other problem, I really don't know. But I am a little disappointed in these needles.

1. I like the joins - smooooth2. I love the cable == it has a metal core that makes it seem sturdier and less apt to break3. Need;e tops are JUST rght for socls and lacework, but not killer sharp.

Arbeite inzwischen nur noch mit diesen Nadeln. Ich komme schneller+einfacher in die Maschen und das Seil verdreht sich nicht x-mal. Super!

Très bonne qualité, sauf que je du commandé 3 fois avant de le recevoir

I love the way that these knitting needles feel in my hands and I also love the pointed tips. I am using them for knitting socks.

Arrived quickly, expensive but worth it as the cords do not twist like others so easier to use. Points are sharp so easy to pick up stitches. Would buy again but watch when ordering you don’t mistake the size as prominent shows in US sizing and I made a mistake with first pair ordered.

Je tricote un châle en tricot mosaïque et j'adore mes aiguilles circulaires ChiaoGoo.
