ChiaoGoo Twist Red Lace Minis LOVE! LOVE! LOVE!
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!
