Product detailed description

ChiaoGoo TWIST Lace Interchangeable Needle Set 13 cm 2.75 - 10 mm

The complete set of ChiaoGoo TWIST Lace interchangeable circular needles (known as the Complete set) includes everything you need for circular knitting on both delicate and bulky projects: needle tips in thirteen sizes, cables of various lengths in two join sizes, and all essential accessories. The sharply pointed stainless steel tips (Lace) are ideal for stitches involving multiple loops at once, such as lace patterns, puff stitch, bobbles, or cables.

What's in the set

• stainless steel needle tips in 13 cm length in sizes 2.75, 3.25, 3.50, 3.75, 4.00, 4.50, and 5.00 mm (Small join size)
• stainless steel needle tips in 13 cm length in sizes 5.50, 6.00, 6.50, 8.00, 9.00, and 10.00 mm (Large join size)
• 3 red cables for circular needles in 60, 80, and 100 cm lengths (including the tips), Small join size
• 3 red cables for circular needles in 60, 80, and 100 cm lengths (including the tips), Large join size
• end stoppers for Small and Large join sizes
• 2 tightening keys
• cable connectors for Small and Large join sizes
• stitch markers and 1 needle gauge
• black-and-white floral fabric needle case with red accents and zipper closure

Memory-free cables

The highly flexible cables with a red nylon coating are made of multi-strand steel wire. They have no memory, do not kink, and will not twist while knitting. The tips are attached, tightened, and loosened using the included tightening key.

Join sizes and compatibility

TWIST Lace sets are available in Small (S, tips 2.75 - 5.00 mm), Large (L, 5.50 - 10.00 mm), Complete (C, 2.75 - 10.00 mm), and Mini (M, 1.50 - 2.50 mm). This Complete set combines Small and Large sizes in a single case. TWIST and SPIN products share the same join sizes and can be combined. Both tips and cables feature laser-imprinted join sizes. Small and Large sizes cannot be connected directly to each other (or to Mini sizes); ChiaoGoo adapters are required to connect them.

What the set is suitable for

This set is designed for circular knitting ranging from fine yarns to chunky winter knits. You can pair the thirteen tip sizes with the matching 60, 80, or 100 cm cables (including the tips) to assemble the exact circular needles needed for your project. Lace tips are especially suited for complex stitch patterns involving multiple loops: lacework, puff stitch, bobbles, and cables.

Care and maintenance

According to ChiaoGoo, wipe the cables and metal tips with rubbing alcohol (isopropyl alcohol) before first use for smoother yarn glide, and repeat occasionally as needed. Each time you attach a tip to a cable, tighten it with the included T-key to ensure a secure connection. While new cables are memory-free, a kinked cable will retain its bend, so avoid crushing or sharply bending them. The entire set can be stored in the included case.

Interesting facts about the brand and needles

ChiaoGoo is a family-owned business run by four brothers. Their father operated a bamboo knitting needle workshop starting in the early 1980s, and the brothers grew up in Linan, China, known as the Bamboo Capital of China. According to the manufacturer, the name ChiaoGoo means "highly skillful and crafty lady," inspired by the brothers' mother, an avid knitter who tested every new needle design. The needles are designed and distributed in Troy, Michigan (USA), and manufactured in Hangzhou, China.

Retailers often refer to the TWIST Lace line as "Red Lace" due to the signature red nylon coating on the cables. Both tips and cables have their join size laser-engraved so you never mix them up. SPIN bamboo products use the exact same join system and are fully interchangeable with these tips.
