My favorites are the RED LACE circular needles from ChiaoGoo. What makes these needles so special is that the tips are really sharp and made of surgical stainless steel. I also like that the needle sizes are laser engraved, which means they won’t wear off. The transition between the needle and the cable attachment is really precise, and the yarn flows so smoothly here. The cables are made of steel wire and covered with twisted red nylon. These cables return to their shape after you finish knitting. We have needles in different sizes and cables in various lengths. Overall, ChiaoGoo needles are easy to knit with and durable.
