Red Line Circular Knitting Needles 9" 1.5/2.5mm

ChiaoGoo never disappoints with their needle tips—the taper is perfect for picking up stitches. These are very high-quality and feel like they will last a lifetime. If you want a professional finish to your knitting, these are worth every penny.

Perfect Keep hold of yr yarn until used to new slippy needles

Did I make the right decision buying this little mini circular needle? Absolutely – I’m so glad I did. The quality is excellent and it makes knitting beautifully smooth. I’d read that these needles tend to suit continental knitters better than english knitters (the throwing method), as we move our right hand more. But I’m knitting my very first sock, and I’ve found it works brilliantly. While the magic loop method is useful, you do lose a bit of time resetting the stitches each time you finish a needle. With this little needle, you just keep going round and round with no stopping or fiddling about – it’s a real time-saver. I’ll still use magic loop for the trickier parts of sock knitting, but for the main sections, this needle is a joy to use.

I’ve just started making socks and didn’t get on with dpns. After doing some research, I bought these Chiaogoo 9 inch circulars. . I love them. I do hold them slightly differently to normal needles, but they are just lovely to knit with. Apparently, they are easier to use if you knit in the continental style, but I don’t, and still find them easy to use.

Doesn't what they say

I have used other circular needles and these are the first ones I have found with joins which truly DO NOT SNAG on the knitting as it passes over them! It can be so annoying when you have to interrupt the flow to pull stitches over the join between needle and cable. It seems that this little luxury comes at a price (and I don't know why other manufacturers find it so difficult to achieve this simple requirement), but it makes such a difference and if it costs more for an enjoyable knitting experience, then I suppose it's worth it! Highly recommended.

Took a while to get use to them, but now I knit all my socks this way, and there is no laddering.

Find these much easier to use than dpns for sock knitting . Took a bit of getting used to at first. Still use dpns for toe shaping.

Excellent for socks: cuff, leg and foot work up much faster but making the heel, gussett and toe needs a longer needle.

Sharp and tiny: just what I needed. I did plenty of research looking for the perfect needles to knit some socks. I kept seeing amazing things on the Chiaogoo needles. I opted to buy a more affordable brand for the rest of my sizes but wanted to try this pair out for socks to see how I like them before splurging of the whole set. I did a few swatches with different yarns in preparation for my project and I’ve really liked the needles so far. The yarn glides effortlessly around the needles. They are sharp and easy to get into each stitch. The cables are sturdy while remaining flexible and well secured to the needles. Because the needles are so small and I’ve only knit cardigans, they take a bit of getting used to when making to switch to those smaller projects. They are definitely more expensive than the average pair of circular needles but I can see them lasting for a very long time so that definitely makes the price worth it. I’ll update with a photo when I make some progress on my socks!

súper bonitas y de excelente calidad. son muy pequeñitas ideal para guantes, calcetines o cosas de bebé.

Ciertamente pierna y pie de calcetines se tejen más rápido, pero en mi caso la posición de los dedos es forzada provocando entumecimiento. Me parecen caras aunque tanto el cordón como punta de agujas muy buenos.

Very good product, I have many of this red-line circular nothing bad to say
