ChiaoGoo Knitting Needle, Red, Size-US-1-(2.25mm)

ChiaGoo needles are so smooth theyre a pleasure to work with.

Very sturdy, they should last for years.

These are very sturdy and Ive already made many pairs of socks!

These are fine and sturdy needles that many will love. For me, however, theyre not slippery enough. They have a satin-type finish that just doesnt slide as smoothly as I like as a knitter. I prefer Knit Picks.

I have replaced my Knitpicks wooden DPN with these, because the others broke too easily in small sizes. I find these smooth and quality, but recently bought a 9” circular needle, and after some adjustment, prefer this for socks for the reduction in dropped stitches, faster knitting. I am sure I will need both at times. The metal needles are smoother, and therefore may drop stitches more easily. The other issue I found is that the dark wooden needles made it harder to see dark yarns, so the silver worked better to see the stitches in those situations.

They are very smooth. Nothing catches the yarn and they each have the size on it.

I love these needles, they are inexpensive and do what they are supposed to do. Ive added so many sets to my other Amazon orders because they are such a joy to work with and you can never have enough sock needles.

Great needles for socks!

These needles are fantastic. They were my first try at using metal sock needles and I was pleasantly surprised by how sturdy and easy to knit with they were. I have now started replacing all of my bamboo sock needles with ChiaoGoos.

I have enjoyed using my new needles. Size 1 is always hard to find. These needles are stainless steel and Im used to aluminum, but I really the feel. They dont seem to split the yarn as the aluminum ones did.
