ChiaoGoo Twist Shorties Set, 2" & 3" (5 & 8 cm) [M]

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

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.

Really love this little set.

These are everything I've been wanting for sock knitting! No more constantly maneuvering stitches and needles for magic loop or juggle 5 needles for DPNs. My knitting time for socks has dramatically improved. The needles themselves feel really solid. The tips are perfect for working with fingering weight yarns. The cords do feel a bit delicate, but I have had no problems so far. I will say, there is a small adjustment period getting used to the short needles, and I did do some experimentation to see what combos of needles work best for me. I have discovered using one shorter and one longer gives me the best results and is easiest on my wrists and fingers.

I try to minimize using DPN’s (they hate me) and I hate magic loop knitting. Chiagoo shorties are my go-to for small circumference knitting. I have two sets of small (red) and two blue (medium). Zero regrets.

After researching all the popular brands of sock needles that knitters like, I settled on these. I had no idea just how really tiny these were when I ordered. The entire kit could fit in a generous pocket! Each needle tip pair has its own pocket and there are two lengths for each needle size. I have been using the larger of the two, as they can be a bit fiddly to hold onto, even though my hands are not particularly large. I am currently using these to knit socks and have big plans for knitting lots of socks. (I bought a lot of sock yarn!) I had some trouble with keeping the cords on the needle tips, but finally got the right tip from fellow knitters: use two keys to tighten each connection, by inserting them into the holes in both the cord and the needle tip, and twisting the keys in opposite directions. Once I got them nice and tight this way, I have been knitting my sock without swearing up a storm. The needle tips are smooth and slippery, but strong, so they will not break. The cables that were included are super short, and are not useful to me, so I bought an extra long one to do magic loop on with the flexibility to knit two socks at a time on it. I do find that there is a bit of a kink in the cable at the connection point, but so far it is holding well.

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.

I was very pleased with this set as it brought a lot of versatility into my sock knitting. Unfortunately, as I was tightening a 2mm tip to my cable the thread from the needles somehow separated itself from the needle and is now stuck in my cable. So I am no longer able to use that needle tip, nor the cable. This is very unfortunate as the cable is the 5” one, the smallest, and the one I use most frequently. I had never used the 2mm tip before so I believe it is what was faulty. I’m very upset, because of course it happened in the middle of a project. I will be trying to contact customer service and see if I can get replacements. EDIT: I reached out to customer service on chiagoo’s official website and the next day they’ve put a replacement in the mail. The form was easy to fill out. I’m very impressed. I changed my review to 5 stars, because I was really enjoying the set before it broke, and knowing that they will replace parts if needed gives me the confidence to recommend it to others.

前から気になっていましたが他のセットも持っているので購入はずっと我慢していました。 ですが今回とても格安なお値段で販売されていたので思い切って購入。 お安くても商品はもちろん本物。 まだ使用していませんが、とても良いお買い物ができました。 迷い続けていて正解！という感じです。 配達も注文後2日くらいで届き、欲しいと思った瞬間のタイミングを逃すことなく届くのも買ってよかったポイントのひとつです。 良品との出会いに感謝です。

Excellent matériel

Item used for continuous knitting. Ideal for the purpose required in regard to size and usefulness.

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

Very good interchangable knitting needles.
