Your cart is empty.ChiaoGoo’s TWIST Lace Shorties of interchangeable circular needles are ideal for projects with a small diameter, such as socks, mittens, hats or baby clothes. The pointy needle tips make these needles suitable for knitting patterns with multiple stitches, such as lace patterns, puff stitches, bubble and cable knitting. The extremely flexible (and memory-free) cable consists of multiple steel wires, which prevent the cable from kinking or twisting while knitting. The needle tips can be easily attached, tightened or loosened with the supplied tightening key. The can be stored in a case that can accommodate several interchangeable needles and cables. In the small pocket you can store all sorts of other accessories, such as connectors, end stoppers, tightening keys and stitch markers. Both the large and small pockets have a zipper closure. The case can be attached to a larger bag for example by means of the ring.

I’ve used the blue medium size package for over a year. But this small package is much more fragile. I only knitted a pair of socks and the needle bend.

一緒に購入されてますというケーブルも買ったら、サイズが合わない！冬休みにソックスをマジックループで作ろうと思ったのに。きっと、確認しない自分が悪いって思わなきゃいけないんでしょうけど、いや！自分を責めたくない！！安い買い物じゃないのにサイズが合わないケーブルを勧められたら、慣れてないのに買っちゃうよ、あるなんて聞いてないし。楽しみにしてたのに。

High quality metal needles. The wires are the best I have ever worked with

Great kit, reasonably priced for sock knitters! Large variety of sizes with different sized cables gives you lots of flexibility for the size yarn you use. I find some fingering weight yarns vary in thickness. Also has great zip pouch to keep it all tidy and neat. I have a sock knitting zipper case that I keep my sock knitting items in and this hardly takes up any room! Great gift for yourself or a knitter in your life!

I love the two sets of tips so you can have a shorter one on the working needle and a longer one on the needle holding stitches. I like that there are a few T pins included as they're easily misplaced (lost). I wish there were more stitch markers in the set but the fact that there are some at all is nice. Very smooth joins when you screw the tips into the cables. I'm very pleased with the set.

I was not sure I would like interchangeable circular needles in 2" & 3" lengths. I own several 9" (tip to tip measurement) fixed circular needles with the needle part measuring about 1.5" and while I do use those for sleeves (I despise double pointed needles and am not fond of magic loop knitting) I can only sort of tolerate the tiny fixed needles for short stints without serious hand cramps. The 2" needles in this set are still a bit awkward to get used to but they don't cause my hands to cramp like the fixed length needles do. In compromise I use a 2" needle on my left and a 3" needle on my right - I find that quite comfortable and can knit in small diameter for hours, no cramps. These needles are shockingly heavy considering how short & thin they are but its because they are solid stainless steel (larger diameter sizes are hollow stainless steel and therefore lighter) to ensure they don't bend/break while knitting complicated stitches. These are solid - in all the good ways. The needles stay screwed on - just be sure to tighten with the provided pin. Cables are fabulous, a mini version of regular red lace cables. I should say that my hands are small and I normally knit with a 4" needle interchangeable set (most sets are 5") so the 3" needles for me aren't much of a change - I think if I could have just bought a full set of just 3" needles I'd have done that but no one makes those (yet. ....hint hint chiaogoo)Packaging isn't as fabulous as the big chiaogoo sets (the bags for the big sets are THE best carryall case I've come across) but its convenient and keeps this little set tidy & organized - with anything this small - tidy & organized is absolutely key to successful knitting - Tiny parts are too easy to lose.I was reticent to spend this much but I'm so happy I finally did. Life changing. Wonderful.

Las agujas son perfectas. Es muy difícil encontrar en estos tamaños las agujas intercambiables y esta marca los tiene. Encontré la otra aguja. No venía en su lugar, pero la encontré y pido disculpas por no haber buscado bien. Gracias

These are great needles. You can put a short needle one on one side of cord and long one on the other of your cord to help you keep track of right and wrong sides of your work. Little compact same great chicagoo quality. The cases allow you keep everything with you in a slim compact organized manor. They are made from nice fabric's and your needle slots are marked with size nformation asxwell as etched on the needle. The interchangeable sets come with a needle gage that fits right in the zipper pocket. I love all my interchangeable sets and have several different ones 5" i, 4", shorties both small and large and I just ordered the mini 4" set too.. Allowing you to×5 be ready to knit whatever you fancy without having to wait for deliveries. You can also purchase longer clear cords for every set. You can not beat Chiagoo cords. The wires in the cords keep them unkinked so they never hit you in the face, they don't have a memory so when you take them out of your case they are ready to use. You don't have to put them in hot water to use them. They now make the bamboo needle clear cords that don't have wires in them but have a spinning ferrel and are now made for all sizes and can be to used with the lace interchangable sets that spin and move with you when you work. You can now purchase them to use with all needle sets lengths and sizes both small and large lace tips. Check package for details.All Chiagoo needle sets have perfect joins so you will not catch any of your speciality yarns on them. No more fear of frayed materials so your projects are kept in perfect shape while you work. Highly recommended.l

After years of knitting witH straight needles I am a convert. Small projects are very portable, you don’t have to worry about losing dpns. Bought the full set of larger needles last year, did tons of research to find the best for me and so happy with ChiaoGoo. Cables are real flexible, my cat can’t chew through them and interchangeable tips is the way to go. It is a delight to work with quality tools. This set here has very short needles, I’m still practicing and my stitches seem looser and I’m still figuring out how to hold them especially the 2” ones. My hands cramp up sometime and I think it’s because I still have a bit of a death grip on them. It’s only been a couple of weeks and it’s getting better already. Note that the cables are ‘mini’, a different size than either the small or large cables for the bigger gauge needles.
