ChiaoGoo: Fixed Circular Needles | Metal Needles

ChiaoGoo Fixed Circular Knitting Needles are the Goldilocks of Circular Needles; Not too pointy, not too blunt.

These premium stainless steel circular needles have a carefully machined smooth join between the cables and the tips, meaning there is nothing for your knitting to catch on. The cable is an extremely well-behaved, flexible nylon-coated steel cable which has no memory, so stays smooth and flat when knitting. The tips have a beautifully smooth finish and the size is etched on the side wall of the needle tips.

ChiaoGoo fixed circular needles which are 16” and longer have “Lace” tips. The “Lace” tips are slightly pointier than the non-Lace tips, which makes them a pleasure to work with for every type of knitting whilst reducing the chances of splitting yarns.

These are the Rolls Royce of metal knitting needles and are always what we reach for here at Knit With Me.

About ChiaoGoo

At Knit With Me we stock ChiaoGoo, one of the most respected names in premium knitting needles and crochet hooks. ChiaoGoo is a family business with craftsmanship in its blood, founded by four brothers from Linan, the Bamboo Capital of China, whose grandfather was a travelling bamboo craftsman and whose father built a workshop making bamboo knitting needles in the early 1980s. The name ChiaoGoo means “highly skillful and crafty lady”, a tribute to the brothers’ mother, an expert knitter who tested every needle and knitted to keep her family of seven warm through long winters.

Today ChiaoGoo tools are designed in Michigan, crafted in Hangzhou and loved by knitters and crocheters worldwide for their precision, smooth joins and famously sharp tips. From interchangeable needle sets and circulars to double points and crochet hooks, every ChiaoGoo tool is built for every project, every time.
