ChiaoGoo TWIST Red Lace Intchg Knitting Needle 5" Tip Set-Complete

I have many circular needles from Chiagoo and have been enormously pleased by them. I also have, and had, many sets of interchangeable needles from multiple manufacturers. All of them have issues with staying connected when pulling project around on the needle, the cables pull apart. Or the plastic cables have a permanent curve in them that is never in the correct position and I'm always having to push the cable around. So, after my last favorite needle cable ripped apart twice - thank goodness for gorilla glue - I decided that enough was enough and bought the complete Chiagoo kit even though the price scared me. Got them yesterday and I am going to transfer them to my newest project. The red lace cable is metal reinforced through out the length of the cable. The 5” steel tips are very smooth which is what I would expect from Chiagoo. If you are a lift time knitter, like I am, don't waste your time trying a cheaper brand. Or you will be like me, owning 4 sets of interchangeable needles that constantly pull apart and don't work with other brands. Just buy the Chiagoo. They're worth it.
