ChiaoGoo Red Lace Circular 32 inch (81cm) Stainless Steel Knitting Needle Size US 1.5 (2.5mm) 7032-1.5

I love that the cable doesn’t curl. Also the joint between the cable and the needle is smooth and the yarn doesn’t snag in it. Perfect for using the magic loop technique for making socks.

While it is true that these needles arent going to kink up on you from being stored coiled, they do have a memory in that they really want to stay straight. The cable does flex when you cause it to, but it is always wanting to pop back into a straight position if youre not holding it which can cause some stitches to stretch if theyre on either side of a turning point in your cable, like when knitting socks. Just make sure you have long enough cable that the stitches wont be too close to a turn very often. Otherwise, these are very nice needles and I can see them lasting a very long time.

Instantly my favorite needles. The needles themselves are lightweight, lighter than Addi, but dont feel at all flimsy. The points and length are wonderfully smooth. Have worked great so far with mohair cobweb and also plain wool fingering (4ply) for a doll sweater.

The yarn slides on and off these needles at the connection without and hitches! They are great!

Favorite needles. Always choose to use over the others that I have.

I purchased this needle to knit socks and while the craft of the needle is great, the cord is not the best for sock knitting. It is not flexible which makes knitting on finger-weight yarn a little more challenging. I will not use this needle for knitting socks. If you are new to knitting, be sure and purchase a 40 cord as that will give the knitter a more room when knitting in the round. Honestly, I would like to return the needle and purchase another brand.

Thank you!

Cords are very flexible and have no memory

Love how pointy they are, and the cables are the best Ive ever had! Highly recommend for sock knitting and Fair Isle.

Wonderful wonderful needles. I have an interchangeable set as well and I love them. I recommend them highly for all of your needs.
