Review on ChiaoGoo Circular 32 Inch Stainless Knitting Knitting & Crochet by Karla Richter

So I'm SUPER impressed with the cable on these things. The needles have been coiled up in the package and usually when packaged in spool form this gives the cord a "memory" and they won't straighten out no matter what you do. They just obsess and get in your way. However, they have almost no memory. The only memory that exists in them is where the cable connects to the needles, which is literally not a problem. The only issue I have with these needles is the material of the needles themselves. They feel like solid aluminum and have an odd texture that drives me nuts as they slide over each other. When you buy a pair of metal needles, they are usually plain and the yarn slides over them. The needles have a slightly "rough" texture that keeps the yarn from slipping (and also creates a clenching noise), and I think that's what the texture is for: keeping the yarn from slipping where you want it would not do. I do not want it. Overall, the cable made me happier than ever with a pair of needles, and then the texture brought them back up to par with every other pair I have. But you definitely won't regret your purchase.
