ChiaoGoo Special Edition Forté Interchangeable Needle Set

PRE-ORDER

This product is a pre-order and will ship/be available for pick-up Fall 2022 

ChiaoGoo’s newest Special Edition interchangeable set, Forté, includes tips that are an elegant combination of sleek, stainless steel and luxurious, African Blackwood. The set also boasts the new SWIV360 interchangeable cables. Silver in color, the cables have the same properties as the much-loved red and blue TWIST cables PLUS an added swivel feature! Each threaded steel join is laser etched with the tip diameter and join size which will not wear off ever. All Forté parts and pieces have [S] or [L] size joins so they are switchable with all of all the other similarly coded interchangeable parts. Plus, for every set sold, ChiaoGoo ensures that an African Blackwood tree is planted!

Case

Made of REACH compliant man-made material, the Forté case is just as elegant and functional as the tips and cables. It includes a double-sided, removable needle board that firmly houses all tips; elastic that securely holds but gives easy access to accessories; and four pockets to hold the rest of your knitting supplies including a spot for your pattern or notes. And, true to the other ChiaoGoo cases, it opens book-style with a full zipper enclosure to ensure that nothing falls out.

Features

  • Each threaded steel join is laser etched with the tip diameter and join size which will not wear off ever.
  • All Forté parts and pieces have [S] or [L] size joins so they are switchable with all of all the other similarly coded interchangeable parts.

For every set sold, ChiaoGoo ensures that an African Blackwood tree is planted!

Set Includes:

  • 14 pairs of 5” (13 cm) tips US 2 – 15 (2.75 – 10mm).
  • The set comes with six memory-free SWIV360 cables
  • steel scissors
  • a measuring tape
  • end stoppers
  • stitch markers
  • darning needles
  • a swatch/needle gauge
  • case (see above for details)

Chiaogoo Twist Cables

PRE-ORDER

All of these cables have been ordered and will be in stock soon! You can order now and you can pick them up (or they will ship) as soon as they arrive.

Chiaogoo TWIST cables are memory-free!  They consist of a multi-strand, steel cable coated with red nylon. Lifeline holes can be found at each end of these cables. Insert the T-shaped tightening key into the lifeline hole to assist with securing your tip/cable connection. SPIN tips will work with TWIST cables. 

  • SMALL cables fit tips from 2.75mm through 5.0mm 
  • LARGEcables tips from 5.5mm through 10.0mm
  • MINI cables fit tips from 1.5mm through 2.5mm
  • RED SHORTIES cables are for use specifically with Mini sized Shortie Tips, ranging from 1.5mm-3.25mm (US 000-US3) 
  • BLUE SHORTIES X-FLEX  fit all Shorite tips marked [S] in sizes 3.5mm (US 4) through 5.0mm (US8)
  • Shorties: the 2″/5cm package contains 3 cables, which can be combined with tips to make flexible DPN’s.

Chiaogoo cord sizes (50″, 37″, 30″, etc) are for the cord alone, and unlike other brands (which measure from tip to tip) they DO NOT include the length of the tips in the measurements. For example, a 50″ cord will make 60″ needles if you have 5″ needle tips.

ChiaoGoo SWIV360 Swivel Cables/Cords

PRE-ORDER

This product is currently available as a Pre-Order. You can place your order and we will ship your order/contact you for pick-up as soon as it arrives in store. Availability is expected July 2022.

Chiaogoo SWIV360 are the next-generation in interchangeable needle cables. They have the same multi-strand steel cable and nylon components as the much-loved red and blue TWIST cables PLUS an added swivel feature! They are included with the new Special Edition Forté and Yellow Shorties interchangeable sets. 

  • SMALL cables fit tips from 2.75mm/US2 through 5.0mm/US8
  • LARGEcables tips from 5.5mm/US9 through 10.0mm/US15

Notes on Cord Lengths

  • Chiaogoo cord sizes (50″, 37″, 30″, etc) are for the cord alone, and unlike other brands (which measure from tip to tip) DO NOT include the length of the tips in the measurements. For example, a 50″ cord will make 60″ needles if you have 5″ needle tips
  • 2″/5cm, 5″/13cm, 6″/15cm cables are recommended for use with Chiaogoo Shorties (3″) tips, and are too short for 4″ and 5″ needle tips.
  • 8″/20cm cables are recommended for  4″ needle tips (to form 16″/hat size needles)
  • 14″/35cm and longer cables are recommended for both for 4″ and 5″ needle tips.

Chiaogoo 9″(23cm) Circular Needles

You’ve been asking for them (I think because of avideo tutorial), so I ordered 9″(23cm) circular needles, and they have finally arrived! Personally, I like a 12″, but some people have a hard time and need something smaller – sorry, couldn’t help myself!)
