ChiaoGoo Red Lace Circular 40 inch (102cm) Stainless Steel Knitting Needle Size US 3 (3.25mm) 7040-3

Over the past 40+ years, I have tried many knitting needles. I can honestly say that ChiaoGoo circulars are the very best by far. The red cable does not have to be twisted straight like the plastic cables from other manufacturers. Yarn glides smoothly over the steel tips with no snagging or dragging. I am gradually replacing my other needles with ChiaoGoo since discovering these needles.

Very nice so far. Useful for some dainty thin yarns that are considered Medium weight but clearly needed thinner needles than a 5 to 5.5, like a Christmassy merino wool yarn I got and a thin acrylic softy one from Hobby and also the Skyscape yarn by Loops and Threads, the 2 needles I got (4.0mm & 4.5mm) are perfect for infinity scarves or cowls or whatever u call a round scarf that only goes around once. So glad I found this item!

Love how flexible the cable cord is! This will make doing magic loop much easier than with cable cords that are stiff. I wished I ordered Chiagoo needles earlier in my knitting journey.

These are very easy to use, it doesn't curl or get caught up where the needle meets the string. It makes a huge dierence in knitting. I recommend highly. It makes purling easier regardless of your ability level and the needles are. very smooth

ChiaoGoo makes great needles. Lots of sizes and cord lengths, sharp points. These were delivered quickly and in the proper packaging.

Nice stainless steel circular knitting needles! Just as described, arrived in a timely manner.

These are the best, smoothest, and easiest to handle needles! I use these Portuguese method (look it up on YouTube) because it is a very ergonomic technique- coupled with this cable, it keeps the weight of the work well balanced.

The brand is always reliable, producing a consistent gauge. Cable rarely tangles.
