ChiaoGoo Red Lace Circular 16 inch (41cm) Stainless Steel Knitting Needle Size US 4 (3.5mm) 7016-4

great product. No snagging at the joins, cord is nice and flexible

y stitches slide nicely on this needle!

Love These. Smooth joins. Comfortable to knit with. I will be buying more sizes.

Overall I like the needles. The cords on ChiaoGoo needles are very flexible and easy to work with. I do not like the tips of these needles. Very sharp points. I do recognize these are lace needles and lace knitting requires a pointed tip. My feeling is these are too sharp and pointed. I am a continental knitter and the tips scrape my finger as I pull the yarn through. I also feel as if one of the needles is rougher than the other needle creating a bit of a drag (defective?).

These brand of needles are my favorite.

I have purchased all sets and circular individuals. I would never buy another brand but

I have several sizes of this brand. They are very smooth and the cable doesnt stay curled up. I plan to buy more.

These needles are the best that I have used. The stainless steel tips are very sharp and pointy - excellent for doing lace work. The cord stays straight and the stitches move smoothly over it and on to the needle since there is no bend at the connection. The 16 size is perfect for doing collars and socks. I highly recommend them.

Cant say enough good things about these needles. Nice pointy tips, good smooth join from cable to needle, high quality, and lovely to use.

It seemed like a good idea to buy these needles, but after using them for the first half of my project Ive had to buy a different set. I found them difficult to use without fatigue in my hands, especially my thumbs, as I have some arthritis in them. I think the source of the problem is that the needles are straight. If they were slightly curved at the end where they meet the plastic cord, it would help. This was my conclusion based on the fact that Im using a different set that does have this curve, and have had much less difficulty and pain. For someone who doesnt have arthritis in their hands, this would be a great buy.
