After trying one pair of almost every brand of interchangeable needles I have finally found the perfect set for me...ChiaoGoo!!! I can't say enough about them. These are the only needles that I can get to work with all the different type yarns I have knitted with. I like the way they fit in my hands without poking into my palms, and even though I prefer to use the Twist cable over the Spin cables the Spin cables don't get in my way and bother me as much as other cables do, but ChiaoGoo has made it to where I can interchange the Spin and Twist with either set. This works perfect for me. The joins never come loose on me, but I always tighten them on with the tool that is provided for this. The joins are buttery smooth on the smaller needles, but because I knit tight I find that I have to push the yarn over the joins on the larger needles...I guess I need to work on knitting looser. The bamboo is strong and smooth. In my opinion you can't go wrong with theses interchangeables. Next I just have to get the Twist Interchangeable set to make my needles complete..

This is it :-)

Splurged big time for my 50th birthday and ordered both the Spin and Twist sets (5"). I am back at the store ordering individual sizes of the Spin tips because I've used them so much in the past year that I think I've worn out some of the tips. These sets have made my knitting joyful again - I love working with them. I just wish that they could engineer interchangeable tips for sizes 0 - 1.5 for socks... ;-)

"Go-To" Brand

Have both the 5" and 4" IC sets and really love and enjoy using them. Prefer working with circular needles over DPNs in decreasing crowns of hats. Love the feel of these needles and yarn glides easily over the bamboo; prefer over stainless steel which are too slippery for me at this time. Have had no issues with the joins or connections. Key to using any needles successfully is probably knitting looser; tight knitting is probably bit more of a struggle on any brand or type of knitting needles. ChiaoGoo Bamboo is an excellent product and Handsome Fibers great company with excellent customer service. A "Win-Win" all around!

Q: hello, i am trying to decide between the chiaogoo bamboo small size interchangeables or the full set. i tend to mostly used size 2-8, so the small set would work well. what i am wondering is if the case is the same for the small and full set? so if i get the small now and want to add the large later, would i be able to combine them into one case?

Asked by: Deanna Dunn Mey - 7/11/2020

A: Hi Deanna, The case is the same. The small sets have the slots and are numbered for the larger sizes on the opposite side of the US-2 through US-8 tips and are numbered US-9 through US-15. Thank you for asking. Tracy, Handsome Fibers.

Q: What's the difference between the twist and spin? From what I can tell the spin term is used for bamboo sets, and twist is used for stainless steel. I have numerous stainless steel red lace stainless circulars with a red cord but not any interchangeable sets. Considering purchasing a full set.

Asked by: Sharon - 1/21/2017

A: Hi Sharon,

You're right!

The Twist interchangeable sets come with stainless steel tips similar to the Red Lace fixed circulars and with the same red nylon coated stainless steel cables and the Spin sets are Bamboo tips with clear poly cables like the fixed bamboo circulars that ChiaoGoo manufactures.

Both the Twist and Spin sets come in three versions.

Small set - US tip sizes 2-8
Large set - US tip sizes 9-15
Complete set US tips sizes 2-15

All of the pieces in the above three sets are available individually too and interchangeable with each other. Spin and Twist parts are interchangeable.

There is also a Twist Mini set with US tips sizes 000-1.5.

Thank you for asking.

Q: How sharp are the needles?

Asked by: Dana - 6/16/2016

A: The tips on these bamboo needles are fairly standard - not particularly sharp or blunt. Generally these are considered to be sharper than Clover needles.

Q: Have heard many great reviews about this product, but I have also heard that the tips wear down over time. Do you have to replace them? order a new tip? How does this work? How fast do they wear down?

Asked by: Tammy Morgan - 9/6/2015

A: Any wood or bamboo knitting needles can wear down with use. How long it takes (or if it happens at all) will depend entirely on the knitter that is using them. Many knitters use their needles for decades or more - others wear them out within months.

Normal wear and tear is not covered by ChiaoGoo's guarantee. If the tips were to be worn down the knitter would need to purchase new tips to replace them. We have not had any customers notify us of their ChiaoGoo bamboo tips being worn from use at this time.
