I switched to Lantern Moons, which are beautiful to look at, but the connection between the needle and the cord was terrible.

I bought these pins to replace some Lantern Moon wooden pins. The needles have a slight bend, which makes it easier to work in a circle. I started Addi Clicks but the needles were so long that I felt very uncomfortable. I switched to Lantern Moons, which are beautiful to look at, but the connection between the needle and the cord was terrible. None of the stitches slipped, so it slowed me down. ChiaoGoo is everything I expect from a circular knitting needle. The ends are slightly blunt to prevent the yarn from breaking. The needles have a slight curvature, so that the resulting circle looks very natural. The stitches slip directly over the connection between the needle and the cord. I highly recommend these needles.

Pros
  • High marks for grip and durability from testers
Cons
  • Not as thick as others
