ChiaoGoo Twist Stainless Steel Interchangeable Knitting Needle Set - 4-inch (10cm) Small Size (7400-S) | Perfect for Knitting Socks, Hats & Amigurumi | Durable & Smooth Stitches for Beginners & Experts

These needles are a dream to work with. I have the Clover Tatumi bamboo interchangeable needles, and they have served me well, but the cords on those are awful to work the magic loop method with. I ordered a single ChiaoGoo red lace circular needle to try, and was amazed at the difference. The yarn slides so easily over these, yet not so much that the stitches slip off. I can't believe how easily the pointy (but not too pointy) tips slide under each loop. I didn't realize how much I struggle with that. The joins stay firmly attached (if you use the tightening t-pin) and don't cause any snagging at all. The cords behave themselves and don't hold a memory (WONDERFUL!!) The case is darling and fits nicely in my little knitting bags https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01DUS2ZWO/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 . There is a zippered pocket on the front to hold the cords, the needle size guide (with ruler--love that!), the tools, and the stitch markers--all included! There are 2 rows of pockets for each needle size, so if I want to get the 5" needle tips, I can just slide them right in. I love that all the tips and cords are sold separately, and that the spin and twist brands are all interchangeable. Excellent set, and highly recommended!
