By the way, I too have both the bamboo and stainless steel set and the cords are interchangeable for both sets. I use the red cable (because it’s so wonderfully sturdy) on the bamboo tips all the time. If I happen to be using the metal tips for socks and using magic loop then I use the plastic cables (because of their flexibility) on the metal tips.
I m a huge Chiagoo red lace fans. I have lots of their circular needles. One thing that has not been mentioned but should be is their joins. They consistently have the best joins of any knitting needle I have ever tried. Didn't think I needed a bamboo set, but if Chaigoo makes them, I need to reconsider.
I have the small set of steel needles but wish I had bought the bamboo now. I bought some bamboo individual needles and they are lovely to use. I live in the Manawatu, NZ and have been watching your podcasts for a while now. We are currently in lockdown to try and stop the spread of the Coronavirus so have been watching a lot of knitting related podcasts.
Thank you for sharing your conversion to Chiaogoo interchangeables. I too have all the sets with the exception of the bamboo set. I’ve been heming and hawing over whether I would use them often enough.
I love these needles, and I’m a beginner knitter. I started off with some cheap needles and my results were not as good. These glide with ease and you would think that for a new knitter that would be the kiss of death, but my first projects were a lot easier.....They are worth the money!!!
I made a beautiful red cardigan..rayon and silk ... and was really happy to have bamboo needles as it was really slippery! I do love the Chiagoo needles that I have, not full sets, just sizes as I needed. I love them although the really sharp points of 2.25 mm are really sharp. HUgs
Your sweater project is gorgeous! Thanks for the opportunity to win a set of these beautiful bamboo interchangeable needles :) Best wishes from Vancouver Island
7mm is missing. They're a good set, and I also have all the other ones that you referred to in the video. They're called Spin as the cord spins very easily and so you can maneuver your knitting quite easily. Excellent needles. My husband bought me the Hiya Hiya interchangeable set, with both small and large together. Gives me another set to work with and as I'm at home.... Chiaogoo is the best though :)
What about the cable is that slippery because I've been using a cable that's made of plastic with bamboo needles and it would be so nice if the cable is more slick since I'm using Magic loop
Please please tell the ChiaoGoo ‘s owner to make Premium Bamboo circular needles in10” with 2 1/2” tips and thin silver wire cord. 9” circular needles with 2” tips are hard to work with. Thank you 🙏
Please join our Facebook group called ChiaoGoo Divas- we are all ChiaoGoo lovers. We can answer almost any questions regarding this beloved brand and techniques that we use with them. And tips and hacks too. I love the spin cables for short cables- as the swivels help and red /blue twist for the rest, so nice that they are swappable.
According to the company the Spin and Twist cables are interchangeable although they have 3 sizes. They do have adapters for using smaller cables with bigger needles
@@ciannacoleman5125 And l only take the red nylon coated wired cables cause they're so, so great! And no rests at the ends if l've got tiny yarn any more!
Thank you. I am saving to buy a complete set of chiagoo. I got some real wool yarn on special and chose some projects and found i have many size needles at home but each time you want to do a project the right size needle is no where to be found. 😀🇦🇺
I have ChiaoGoo interchangeables for crochet hooks and I love them! I’m using them for a project while I watch this video. They’re amazing for tunisian crochet.
Hola, me compré el estuche completo de agujas bambú y tienen un fallo enorme y son sus cables transparentes, tienen un pequeño salto al llegar al níquel y enganchan la lana. Deberían sustituirlos L y S por los cables Rojos, son mejores y no tienen salto. Un producto muy caro para que tenga ésta dificultad.
Thank you for SUCH a generous giveaway and of course Thank you to ChiaoGoo. Happy ANNIVERSARY TO BOTH📣🎉🎈🥳🎐🎋🎎🎐🎉🎏🎐🎈🎂🎂🎂🎂!! You & They have much to Celebrate 🥂🎂🎉!! Be Safe! Stay Healthy! And keep putting out great tutorials and informative reviews!! #YARNMakesMeHappy #GPWarrior💚🥄🧶 #PolyneuropathyWarrior #SleepParalysisWarrior #EdemaWarrior🦵🏼🦶🏼 #AnxietyWarrior🧠
I'm wondering after 3 years from making this video if the cables on any of the Chiagoo sets have developed kinks. A friend did a LOT of magic loop, doing hats and arms of sweaters, and her thinner cords now all have kinks in them. I am hoping it was just a fluke of her set.
Great needles!! I have been totally converted and love knitting with them. I own the metal and love the slightly grippy finish and the lovely points on them! I’ve been looking for a review of the bamboo interchangeable needles. Thank you! I have arthritis and wood needles are often easier for me as they control the yarn for me.
I am a senior and a newbie to knitting, learning how to knit through youtube videos. After watching your video, I wondered what it would be like to begin with needles like the Chiaogoo needles rather than the crappy ones I am using. Maybe I am dreaming but would love to try. I am thinking of purchasing the bamboo needles as I have arthritic hands. Wish me luck. :) Thank you for your video.
Hello! I have one question, I have the metal set and love the cable and how it holds no memory and is very flexible. On the bamboo set how comparable are the cables?
I love these needles. I have the set (stainless steel) you've shown. The bamboo set would be awesome! I've been thinking about getting the shorties because they would be great for hats and sleeves. Loved this video. Looking forward to the next. Really inspiring.
Thank you for your review. I assumed that the attachment from bamboo to the metal screws are smooth. There is no snagging yarn. Do you perhaps know which one is more comfortable, 4 inches or 5 inches needles? Many thanks and happy 15 years of your company anniversary.
Depends on what kind of shape your hands are in. I have arthritis, and have the 4" needles, and will be buying the 5" as soon as I can get my yarn hoarding addiction under control. LOL The 4" ones are a little difficult for me to grip, especially at the end of a row.
I too,have the chiagoo bamboo interchangeable needles for many years, what annoys me is,that my stitches don’t move easily from the cord to the needle, I have to pull each stitch unto the needle - the joints are well closed with the extra tool though. That is why I don’t use them anymore, does anyone have the same experience or have any tips?
Would like to have had teachings on difference between 4" and 5". Is one better if you use throw vs continental methods not just these brands but other brands as well.
I just learned how to knit and I'm enjoying it but the knitting needles are now broken and I can't knit anymore. Can you please help me with this problem
great review and information, love your series, always seems to be on point for projects I'm working on. i have very cold hands due to MS, the wood needles have some give so they are easier on painful hands because the wood gives . keep up the great work! Love your sweater!
What are all the extra pockets not labeled for ?? Does anyone know? I just got this case and filled it with the labeled needles but there are lots empty that aren't labeled
Have the SS needles. Curious about the bamboo. She sort of evaded saying whether clear cables were as kink-free as the red; makes me think they're not. Bummer
I have been using the Chiagoo metal needles and love them. Last fall, i ordered a few of the spins and LOVE them! I believe I saw that they have ‘connectors’ in case you have a cord, meant for the larger size, but want to use a smaller needle. That would make sense and extend the versatility of the set. The Bamboo definitely seems lighter.
I have tried almost every brand of knitting needles - I have an old injury to my hand causing difficulty with grip plus osteoarthritis and am now developing dupuytren's contractures of my right hand. The ChiaoGoo metal Twist 4" needles have been amazing!! I cannot recommend them enough! I agree with everything you have to say about them, and more. I have to go back to my old bamboo needles (with their stiff, kinky cords)when I knit lace or silky fibers.
Purchased a set of the smallest diameter needles, from 1.5 to 2.5mm, about two years ago. Really like using these needles. I have a looser gauge so I get use of the smallest size. Thanks Felicia for creating this VLOG.
I LOVE Chiaogoo after a lifetime of searching for needles. You can never have enough. I have the stationary ones and would love the twist. Stay safe and healthy!
Wow! That is a beautiful sweater you are knitting. This year is my year to learn how to knit. It’s on my bucket list. That sweater is really inspiring me to learn. Thank you
Are the cords curly when you take them out of the packet? That is what I do not like about Addi and HiyaHiyas. I love my Chiaogoo red cords and am interested in the bamboos but I don't want to deal with unruly cords. lol
That sweater is gorgeous!!My experience with steel needles is that they mirror the yarn.I also prefer wood needles or prym needles,which are my new favorites..stay safe and hugs from Milwaukee. ❤🤗🧶
Chaigoo are definitely my favorite needles. I have both the lager set and the smaller set of stainless steel as well as many of their fixed circular. They are my go too on my projects. I would love to try their bamboo set. Never seem to have enough needles.
I’ve been interested in Chiagoo needles for a while but haven’t tried them. Thanks for this very helpful information and for a wonderful podcast series.
I would love to have interchangeable set i do have Chiagoo needles but not any type of sets, been hearing people say that other types the needles comes apart so i don't want to invest into interchangeable love CHIAGOO. i AM A NEW KNITTER AND THIS WOULD HELP WITH GETTING more needles. thank you
The only interchangeable needles I used so far are the Knit Pick wooden ones and they are OK (I have nothing to compare them with!). I heard so many good things about the Chiaogoo interchangeable needles, that I'm very curious. I'm not a big fan of metal needles, and I didn't know they also have a set of bamboo ones... Very, very interesting! Thanks for sharing :) (And BTW: I don't think anyone would ever be tired of you unboxing fiber craft goodies!)
I have been given a plethora of old needles both straight and circular over the years since my grandma taught me to knit but the circulars were all way too stiff for comfort. I bought a chiagoo fixed circular set, my first good quality set of needles and fell in love with using circulars for straight knitting. I never have to worry about my needles being cumbersome or misplacing one, can't wait to upgrade to interchangeable and move my old stuff along to new owners. What is your opinion on chiagoo's interchangeable crochet hooks? I have never used bamboo hooks but am interested in Tuscan and mixing my knitting and crochet Update: Got the full interchangeable set (standard size not minis) and spent all of COVID summer knitting lol. I love them and can’t wait till I have the funds for the Tunisian set. If I ever start knitting slippy stuff I might have to consider the bamboo set too 😂, at the very least an individual set or two
I have a single US 3 16" Chiaogoo needle that I like for hats and am definitely intrigued by their interchangeable sets. My current set is falling apart. I'd love to see how good the join is!
Hi, I didn't know that Chiaogoo needles were interchangeable and bamboo. I have knitted socks with them and love them... because they are pointed(sharp) I liked Clover bamboo but felt they were blunt like you said, but i would have liked it to be pointier? make sense? :)
I really enjoy knitting with the Chaigoo circular stainless with red cords. The tips are wonderful. I've tried many different ones. Bet you I have $1K worth. They are really good and won't break the bank. I have some of the same beliefs as you about bamboo needles. Would love to win a set of these!!! Always, enjoy your channel. Thank you, 👏🏼🧶🤗
This video is over a year old. I just got my set last week and enjoying them. I got them from your shop. 🇨🇦 Now I could work on my knitting project. Only thing I hope it had was the gripping pad.
And l was so late! I love chiaogoo! I got all l can get of sets made byesteel, the red lace sets: complete, and the shorties red and blue, too! Don't have enough money for bamboo, too, but l got 7 mm and 3.0mm bamboo. It's so great to write with them, too, if you got the right wool whidheis very slippery. If not it shoots youedown a bit. I knit since over 44 years and my pupils are thrilled about the CG - needles, too! The bamboo are the less blunt needles of this material l ever knit with. I use the red cables with bamboo, too, cause that is better than with the spin cables l bought to give them a try. But although they spin l had rests at the point where the yarn needs the little balls at the ends of the cables, needed to turn around. I love to knit with the red lace cables, done out of winded steel, nylon coted, so much more than the spin cables! And they're not to bend or damage as the spin cables can be. One of them has got an edge about 10 cm before a joint. That's a mess! Tog.with the rest of tiny yarn l don't like it any more, no! I love the red lage cables and l absolutely can use them with the bamboo-needles! So, yes, l'm thrilled by these, only these, bamboo - NEEDLES! Yeah! Be blessed!
I tried bamboo needles but found that they lost their nice sharp point very quickly and they seemed to loose their smoothness as well. I felt kind of a “drag” on the yarn.-
I love ChiaoGoo! I have the Surgicalstainless in 4” full set and small set in 5”, then I have the small set in 4” and the full size in 5,the mini sock set is amazing love the mini red lace cords. Got the red & bleu shortie set. But they not my favorite. But love to knit magic loop. Love the cable adaptors. I found what made me happy in knitting needles. Without taking up so much space.
My wife is going gaga over these needles. If she could win these needles, it sure would make my wallet happy. She has become a fan of your channel. She was a clothing and textile major in college.
At the end of last year I ordered some chiaogoo needles after hearing another Podcaster rave about them. I actually couldn’t find them anywhere here in Australia so ordered them from the UK. when they arrived I was so upset with myself, I had wanted the steel tip set but had accidentally ordered the bamboo set. I was going to return them but it was near Christmas and all the way back to the UK , anyway long story short, I kept them . Oh my gosh am I glad I did! The difference they make in knitting slippery mohair yarns is amazing, I 100% agrees with you. Also the lovely cable enables me to knit socks and sleeves without getting a ladder for the first time in my long knitting career! Now I just have to be a good girl all year and hopefully Santa will bring me the steel set!
I bought the bamboo dpns and then realised I wanted the steel dpns so bought them too and they were about $80 each. I love them both and then bought the 5 inch set of interchangeable needles which cost me $218 Australian dollars. They are all just magic and I'm crazy about them. The bamboo are just something special and feel wonderful when knitting socks.
Wow! TY for featuring these, they are my new favorite circular needles. I'm so excited that they have the super shorts, as I recently started the Spiral Cot blanket and was incredibly fiddly starting from the center. I have wanted to knit hats from the top down and confident that I can now do that using the magic circle and the shorties!! Yay ! Really excited about the super thin needle set as I have been keeping an iCord going- mostly because I find it relaxing- and looking forward to making some very very fine iCord so I ll have something unique to crochet with. Great Video !!
I’m surprised you didn’t mention in your review that the bamboo set spins unlike the red or blue sets. Do yours spin or am I wrong about that? Posted about your giveaway in my Facebook group: chiaogoodivas. Everyone is very excited.
I have really enjoyed the 5 inch stainless set, since receiving it last Christmas! If anyone is on the fence about them, you won’t regret using them. The case is an excellent tool as well for keeping everything organized. I didn’t know they had a bamboo set, but I’d like to try them. Your sweater colours are great! Thanks for the podcast, as always very informative.
I have been using Chiaogoo needles for a long time now.....they are the best....I have the big set and the mini have added additional red cables to it, and they also come in fixed circular needles in all sizes as well. I will have to have a look at their bamboo interchangeable as well....they look beautiful.... thank you for sharing this!
Thank you for sharing I have a set of ChiaoGoo needle’s and I have been knitting for 35 years I wish somebody had told me about these along time ago they are my favorite needles if anybody out there is looking for the first set of needles I do recommend these to everybody however I have not tried the bamboo set and I would love to . Thank you Thank you so much for sharing Best Set of Needles Ever !!!!!! love them thank you ChiaoGoo 💞
I love Chiaogoo stainless steel needles - the red lace kits are wonderful (best cables ever). I feel the need to buy some bamboo needles for a few projects that require to use cotton or silk yarn though. Thank you for your input about them - this was helpful. :-) Take care! x
My husband bought me a set of CG needles for Christmas and I love them 💕! I got so tired of trying to figure out with my old circulars which needles I had and what I didn’t like was when the sizing wore off the cables! I’m excited to hear there are bamboo needles too! Stay safe, and keep knitting 🧶
Never used these before.. hv always wanted one but they hv always been too far beyond my price bracket to even think to purchase.. maybe be one day.. 😅👌😍
Thank you for the opportunity to enter this lovely giveaway! Needles definitely make a big difference in ease while knitting. I like bamboo for slippery knits, and metal, especially Chiagoo red cord for woolies.
Chiagoo are just the best! I have the stainless interchangeables and for Christmas was given the tiny little blue set for sleeves and hats and other tiny things. Is it greedy to want the bamboo set also?!!! ;D
The bamboo one have a twisting cable but they don’t have the metal wire inside. I found the thinner bamboo ones too soft. The tips feel bendy. The cables are very different and turn.
I've really liked my bamboo Tulip interchangeable needles but when I went to lace and sock knitting, I decided to try the small set of Chiagoo interchangeables and really like the sharp tips and the "swivel" cables. They are my very favorites.
I love my Bamboo set, easy to use, warm on my hand and super light. They hold strong on all my projects. The Bamboo needles set I have are 4 inches long, great for small hands. I may get 5 inches next as my hand get cramps here and there.
I love my Chiao Goo needles! I have the full set of regular needles, the red mini set and the blue mini set. I haven’t tried the Bamboo ones. I bought my first set on the recommendation of the owner of my LYS. She loves the company and the needles.
i love the brand ill have them on my wishlist i wonder if the steel ones the yarn slips off or do they grip the yarn . im a beginner knitter like i only know 3 stitches like seed stitch garter stitch and stockinette. i learn stitches quickly but take time to memorise them
My mind is blown! Because I’ve never thought about there being people who run chaigoo who one can meet and be friends with. Of course there are! Thanks for reminding me. Also, I have the same needle sets you do and I love them. I’ve been feeling the need for wooden needles for some projects, but I want chaigoo cables and connectors. Now I can get them!😍

By the way, I too have both the bamboo and stainless steel set and the cords are interchangeable for both sets. I use the red cable (because it’s so wonderfully sturdy) on the bamboo tips all the time.

Update: Got the full interchangeable set (standard size not minis) and spent all of COVID summer knitting lol. I love them and can’t wait till I have the funds for the Tunisian set. If I ever start knitting slippy stuff I might have to consider the bamboo set too 😂, at the very least an individual set or two
Thank uou for a great review
I have a single US 3 16" Chiaogoo needle that I like for hats and am definitely intrigued by their interchangeable sets. My current set is falling apart. I'd love to see how good the join is!
Hi, I didn't know that Chiaogoo needles were interchangeable and bamboo.
I have knitted socks with them and love them... because they are pointed(sharp)
I liked Clover bamboo but felt they were blunt like you said, but i would have liked it to be pointier? make sense? :)
I really enjoy knitting with the Chaigoo circular stainless with red cords. The tips are wonderful. I've tried many different ones. Bet you I have $1K worth. They are really good and won't break the bank. I have some of the same beliefs as you about bamboo needles. Would love to win a set of these!!! Always, enjoy your channel.
Thank you, 👏🏼🧶🤗
This video is over a year old. I just got my set last week and enjoying them. I got them from your shop. 🇨🇦
Now I could work on my knitting project. Only thing I hope it had was the gripping pad.
And l was so late! I love chiaogoo! I got all l can get of sets made byesteel, the red lace sets: complete, and the shorties red and blue, too! Don't have enough money for bamboo, too, but l got 7 mm and 3.0mm bamboo. It's so great to write with them, too, if you got the right wool whidheis very slippery. If not it shoots youedown a bit. I knit since over 44 years and my pupils are thrilled about the CG - needles, too! The bamboo are the less blunt needles of this material l ever knit with. I use the red cables with bamboo, too, cause that is better than with the spin cables l bought to give them a try. But although they spin l had rests at the point where the yarn needs the little balls at the ends of the cables, needed to turn around. I love to knit with the red lace cables, done out of winded steel, nylon coted, so much more than the spin cables! And they're not to bend or damage as the spin cables can be. One of them has got an edge about 10 cm before a joint. That's a mess! Tog.with the rest of tiny yarn l don't like it any more, no! I love the red lage cables and l absolutely can use them with the bamboo-needles! So, yes, l'm thrilled by these, only these, bamboo - NEEDLES! Yeah! Be blessed!
I tried bamboo needles but found that they lost their nice sharp point very quickly and they seemed to loose their smoothness as well. I felt kind of a “drag” on the yarn.-
I love ChiaoGoo! I have the Surgicalstainless in 4” full set and small set in 5”, then I have the small set in 4” and the full size in 5,the mini sock set is amazing love the mini red lace cords. Got the red & bleu shortie set. But they not my favorite. But love to knit magic loop. Love the cable adaptors. I found what made me happy in knitting needles. Without taking up so much space.
My wife is going gaga over these needles. If she could win these needles, it sure would make my wallet happy. She has become a fan of your channel. She was a clothing and textile major in college.
At the end of last year I ordered some chiaogoo needles after hearing another Podcaster rave about them. I actually couldn’t find them anywhere here in Australia so ordered them from the UK. when they arrived I was so upset with myself, I had wanted the steel tip set but had accidentally ordered the bamboo set. I was going to return them but it was near Christmas and all the way back to the UK , anyway long story short, I kept them . Oh my gosh am I glad I did! The difference they make in knitting slippery mohair yarns is amazing, I 100% agrees with you. Also the lovely cable enables me to knit socks and sleeves without getting a ladder for the first time in my long knitting career!
Now I just have to be a good girl all year and hopefully Santa will bring me the steel set!
I bought the bamboo dpns and then realised I wanted the steel dpns so bought them too and they were about $80 each. I love them both and then bought the 5 inch set of interchangeable needles which cost me $218 Australian dollars. They are all just magic and I'm crazy about them. The bamboo are just something special and feel wonderful when knitting socks.
Wow! TY for featuring these, they are my new favorite circular needles. I'm so excited that they have the super shorts, as I recently started the Spiral Cot blanket and was incredibly fiddly starting from the center. I have wanted to knit hats from the top down and confident that I can now do that using the magic circle and the shorties!! Yay ! Really excited about the super thin needle set as I have been keeping an iCord going- mostly because I find it relaxing- and looking forward to making some very very fine iCord so I ll have something unique to crochet with. Great Video !!
I’m surprised you didn’t mention in your review that the bamboo set spins unlike the red or blue sets. Do yours spin or am I wrong about that? Posted about your giveaway in my Facebook group: chiaogoodivas. Everyone is very excited.
Love your sweater that you are wearing👌🥰 so beautiful as well of those colors.
Love your podcast 👌
I love the steel needles, I would love to try the bamboo needles.
I have really enjoyed the 5 inch stainless set, since receiving it last Christmas! If anyone is on the fence about them, you won’t regret using them. The case is an excellent tool as well for keeping everything organized. I didn’t know they had a bamboo set, but I’d like to try them. Your sweater colours are great! Thanks for the podcast, as always very informative.
Yaassss chiaogoo all the way!!! I pretty much do not use anything else.
I have been using Chiaogoo needles for a long time now.....they are the best....I have the big set and the mini have added additional red cables to it, and they also come in fixed circular needles in all sizes as well. I will have to have a look at their bamboo interchangeable as well....they look beautiful.... thank you for sharing this!
Thank you for sharing I have a set of ChiaoGoo needle’s and I have been knitting for 35 years I wish somebody had told me about these along time ago they are my favorite needles if anybody out there is looking for the first set of needles I do recommend these to everybody however I have not tried the bamboo set and I would love to . Thank you Thank you so much for sharing Best Set of Needles Ever !!!!!! love them thank you ChiaoGoo 💞
I love Chiaogoo stainless steel needles - the red lace kits are wonderful (best cables ever). I feel the need to buy some bamboo needles for a few projects that require to use cotton or silk yarn though. Thank you for your input about them - this was helpful. :-) Take care! x
I think I watched you a while ago when starting to think about Chiagoo needles. Finally deciding what I want, and appreciate your thoughtful review!
My husband bought me a set of CG needles for Christmas and I love them 💕! I got so tired of trying to figure out with my old circulars which needles I had and what I didn’t like was when the sizing wore off the cables! I’m excited to hear there are bamboo needles too! Stay safe, and keep knitting 🧶
Never used these before.. hv always wanted one but they hv always been too far beyond my price bracket to even think to purchase.. maybe be one day.. 😅👌😍
Thank you for the opportunity to enter this lovely giveaway! Needles definitely make a big difference in ease while knitting. I like bamboo for slippery knits, and metal, especially Chiagoo red cord for woolies.
Chiagoo are just the best! I have the stainless interchangeables and for Christmas was given the tiny little blue set for sleeves and hats and other tiny things. Is it greedy to want the bamboo set also?!!! ;D
The bamboo one have a twisting cable but they don’t have the metal wire inside. I found the thinner bamboo ones too soft. The tips feel bendy. The cables are very different and turn.
I love my chiaogoos more than my signatures. I wish I knew that before I bought those signatures....
haha I hear you... :) I'm in the same boat
Absolutely. I gave away the signatures i bought.
Love my signatures but haven't tried any others, I lock mine with the key and a rubber grip.
I've really liked my bamboo Tulip interchangeable needles but when I went to lace and sock knitting, I decided to try the small set of Chiagoo interchangeables and really like the sharp tips and the "swivel" cables. They are my very favorites.
I love my Bamboo set, easy to use, warm on my hand and super light. They hold strong on all my projects. The Bamboo needles set I have are 4 inches long, great for small hands. I may get 5 inches next as my hand get cramps here and there.
Are tips 4 or 5 inches?
I entered and praying to win! Need more needles and these in particular! Thanks 🙏 for the chance!
I love my Chiao Goo needles! I have the full set of regular needles, the red mini set and the blue mini set. I haven’t tried the Bamboo ones. I bought my first set on the recommendation of the owner of my LYS. She loves the company and the needles.
I have both complete sets of Chiaogoo. I'm very pleased. Your sweaters are gorgeous. I'm blown away by your color combinations.
ChaiGoo Red Lace have been my very favorite needles fir a long time. I woukd love to try the beautiful bamboo ones.
I just found you on Raverly and now here I am. Great info. I love ChiaoGoo needles. Thank you for the giveaway.
i love the brand ill have them on my wishlist i wonder if the steel ones the yarn slips off or do they grip the yarn . im a beginner knitter like i only know 3 stitches like seed stitch garter stitch and stockinette. i learn stitches quickly but take time to memorise them
My mind is blown! Because I’ve never thought about there being people who run chaigoo who one can meet and be friends with. Of course there are! Thanks for reminding me. Also, I have the same needle sets you do and I love them. I’ve been feeling the need for wooden needles for some projects, but I want chaigoo cables and connectors. Now I can get them!😍
You’re amazing! What beautiful knitting.
The colors are gorgeous.
I love my bamboo needles by Chiaogoo because they are warm and not cold like stainless.
Thank you this video answered all my questions on the spin bamboo needles!
Do these needles spin like the name suggests?
They do!
Love these needles! The shorties makes me knit sleeves so fast.
love, love, love my SS Chiaogoo IC needles and would be delighted to try the bamboo ones.....
