Review on πŸ“ ChiaoGoo 6009-2.5 9-Inch Red Line Circular Knitting Needles: Precise 2.5/3mm Crafting Tools by Kelly Caballes

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The best needles I've ever bought and the best replacements I've ever made for knitting socks!

I was new to sock knitting but not new to knitting. I used to use DPN for sleeves but never for socks. I had trouble with short DPNs at such a thin gauge and almost gave up sock knitting because I kept dropping stitches off the ends of needles or trying to wrap my big arms around all that forest of dots. I began to climb onto the joints of the needles. Then someone suggested 9 inch round coils. I did a lot of research and people kept saying that ChiaoGoo is much better. You were right. These needles are slipping! It took me 60% of the time with DPN, they go into the seams almost unmistakably, the seams run smoothly over the needles and connectors, and I find the position of the needles perfect for my hands.

Pros
  • needle size lasered on each circle. Precision engineered lace and stitching are just beautiful
Cons
  • Crumpled wrapping
