How to Choose the Best Interchangeable Needle Set for You
We tried a lot of different interchangeable needles, but we carry Chiaogoo because the joins are smooth, the cables are flexible and they are a family owned business. Why buy Interchangeable Needles? 🧶 With interchangeable needles, you can knit any project, any time. Just switch the tips or cords as needed. No more pausing your project to buy new needles! 🧶 No more buying needles only to find that they don't give you the gauge you needed. You'll have them all and can swatch until you figure out what size you need. 🧶 One set of interchangeable needles takes up less space and it's easier to organize than multiple fixed circulars. Great for travel! 🧶 While the upfront cost might be higher, in the long run, a set is less expensive that buying all the needle options separately.
If you aren't sure which set it best for you, here are some guidelines:
Bamboo or Metal? This is personal preference, but metal needles are slipperier and the points are pointier. 4" or 5" Tips? If you make a lot of hats, you'll want the 4" tips. The shortest circular you can create with the 5" tips is 24", which is too long for a hat.
