Chiaogoo Interchangeable Needle Guide
FAMILY FIRST
Chioagoo is a family owned business, started by four brothers. The brand name, which means "highly skilled and crafty lady" was inspired by their mother, who was an avid knitter.
HIGH QUALITY MATERIALS
Chiaogoo needles are made with surgical-grade stainless steel with the sizes permanently laser imprinted into them. This means their needles with never dull, chip, or rust. The cords are made of nylon-coated braided steel, and are completely memory-free.
LIFETIME WARRANTY
All Chiaogoo products carry a lifetime warrany on manufacturer's defects. If you have any issues with your Chiaogoo needles, please don't hesitate to reach out to us.
INTERCHANGEABLE TIPS
We carry two lengths of interchangeabe needle tips from Chiaogoo - 3" (8cm) and 5" (13cm)
Both have their pros and their cons depending on the knitter - compare them below!
3" tips
These are the shortest individual needle tips you can purchase from Chiaogoo. They're perfect for creating small circumferences for collars, sleeves, and hats. But they're also great for longer circumferences too. These tips cannot make circumferences for small items like socks and mittens - check out the Short Combo Packs for that.
5" tips
These are the longest individual needle tips you can purchase from Chiaogoo. These needle tips are perfect for large circumferences, Magic Loop, or for knitters who get hand pain from short needle tips. These tips cannot make small enough circumferences for collars, sleeves, and hats. Check out either the 3" tips or the Short Combo Packs for that.
THE CHIAOGOO CORD SYSTEM
Chiaogoo is well-known for making seamless interchangable needles. Part of this is that they made various cord diameters to match their needle sizes. Each diameter is available is lots of different lengths, but you must make sure your needle tip will fit the correct cord. Cords come in sizes MINI [M], SMALL [S], and LARGE [L].
