ChiaoGoo Red Line Circular Knitting Needles 9" 1.5/2.5mm

I’ve just started making socks and didn’t get on with dpns. After doing some research, I bought these Chiaogoo 9 inch circulars. . I love them. I do hold them slightly differently to normal needles, but they are just lovely to knit with. Apparently, they are easier to use if you knit in the continental style, but I don’t, and still find them easy to use.

perfect for socks! I love these needles as they are so smooth.

Love these

Find these much easier to use than dpns for sock knitting . Took a bit of getting used to at first. Still use dpns for toe shaping.

Bought these the first time I tried knitting socks, and they work perfectly and are such good quality- very ergonomic and the join between needle and cable is practically non-existent. The package arrived earlier than expected and the needles were individually wrapped in tissue paper, a lovely personal touch. I like these so much I have ordered them again so I can have 2 socks on the go at a time!

I have used other circular needles and these are the first ones I have found with joins which truly DO NOT SNAG on the knitting as it passes over them! It can be so annoying when you have to interrupt the flow to pull stitches over the join between needle and cable. It seems that this little luxury comes at a price (and I don't know why other manufacturers find it so difficult to achieve this simple requirement), but it makes such a difference and if it costs more for an enjoyable knitting experience, then I suppose it's worth it! Highly recommended.

To all knittersGreat value for money excellent quality and fantastic delivery.Would make a great gift.

Took a while to get use to them, but now I knit all my socks this way, and there is no laddering.
