From McIntosh
An interchangeable circular needle set designed for smaller needle sizes, ideal for lighter yarns, detailed stitch-work, and precision knitting.
The ChiaoGoo TWIST Red Lace set is an interchangeable circular needle set built for the smaller sizes. It holds seven pairs of 5" (13 cm) stainless steel tips from 2.75 mm to 5 mm (about US 2 to US 8), which covers fingering, sport and DK yarns.
The tips are smooth so stitches move cleanly, and pointed enough for detailed work without being overly sharp. They screw onto ChiaoGoo's red memory-free cables, which have a multi-strand steel core coated in nylon, so they don't kink and return to shape after use.
It suits knitters who work mostly in finer yarns: socks, shawls and fingering-weight sweaters.
The set includes three red cables that make circulars of about 14", 22" and 30" (35, 55 and 75 cm) with tips attached, plus two end stoppers, a cable connector, tightening keys, stitch markers and a needle gauge. Use the key to tighten each join; a join that loosens mid-row can snag the yarn. These use ChiaoGoo's TWIST Small screw size, so check compatibility before buying extra cables. For chunkier yarn, the SPIN Bamboo Large set covers the bigger sizes.
Store tips and cables in the zipped fabric case, which has labeled compartments and pockets for accessories. Wipe the tips with a dry cloth, and coil the cables loosely rather than folding them tight.
