HOW IT'S MADE

Chiagoo is a family owned business, started by four brothers who grew up in the Bamboo Capital of China. The inspiration for the brand name "Chiaogoo" came from their mother, who was an avid knitter, and means "highly skilled and crafty lady". Today, they make all their hooks and needles out of high quality materials in China, and are considered one of the best knitting needle manufacturers in the world.

BEST SUITED FOR

Metal needles like these are great for knitters who like a sharper needle tip, and they can also allow for faster knitting, since there's less friction between the yarn and the needles. For this reason, metal needles are often not well suited for beginner knitters. 

Interchangeable needle sets are super versatile and you can easily have multiple projects going on at one time. This smaller set is perfect for any knitter who knits projects with fingering to worsted weight yarns.
