ChiaoGoo means crafty woman! And their interchangeable knitting needle systems are the best ever. They are engineered beautifully and the joins are so smooth you don't get that stop and stuck feeling of stitches catching where the cable meets the needle. Over time, I have become more interested in knitting with finer yarn, specifically cashmere from ColourMart, and these mini sets work great. The five inch needles fit in my hands really nicely and even though they are thin, the stainless steel makes them sturdy. And the red cables don't kink or curl up. They have no curl memory! Plastic or nylon cables stay curly and spring up at the wrong times. The cables of the ChiaoGoo circular needles and interchangeable sets are smooth, sleek, dreamy, just like the beautifully crafted stainless steel lace needles. I love to use two circular needles in place of double pointed needles so I bought two sets of the minis, which I'm using now for making gloves. I started using some carbon fiber fixed circs but the joins between the needles and the nylon cables were rough and it bummed me out me every time I changed to the next needle. These minis not only made knitting with fine yarn smooth and silky, I knit faster with them. Granted, I'm knitting gloves, so circular knitting, no purling. It makes it really fun! Worth the price. I'll be using these for decades!Read full review

If you are into fine knitting, this is the needle set for you. ChiaoGoo Red Twist have the finest points ( especially for Lace knitting) that I know of. They have a nice balance in my hand. Besides the excellent quality, all the cords can be connected together using the the special connectors which come with the set. Also if you start a second project, the first can be set aside safely with the use of the closure ends that also come with the set which safely keeps the project on it's cable with no chance of stitches falling off. ChiaoGoo needle sets are the only sets I know of that come with these added attachments which are included in each of their knitting needle Sets. I have each of the Red Twist sets and love them.

These are the perfect sock needles with everything needed contained in one little set. The needles and cables are high quality and I love the way they were packaged. The join is seamless and makes knitting socks a joy.

I am astounded by these needles! I bought the mini and the complete set together. I have been knitting for years and have always found knitting to be putzy work with lots of mistakes to be ripped out and done over. These needles are so precise that they practically knit for you! I'm finally enjoying knitting and the items I make. Thank you so much!
