ChiaoGoo Premium Bamboo circular needles
Patina bamboo circulars with fantastic joins and pliable, clear, nylon cables. They have a nickel-plated, copper join. Sizes 3 (3.25 mm) and larger are crimped to guarantee no separation AND they swivel! Sizes 0 (2 mm) through 2.5 (3 mm) have the same memory-free cable as the RED circulars and TWIST cables. Needle size is permanently laser imprinted on each circular. Bamboo circulars are available in the patina color only.
How to choose the length:
When knitting in the round, you are advised to choose needles that are shorter than the circumference of your project. For flat knitting, it is more comfortable to knit with longer cables (80 or 120cm).
- 40cm circular needles: suitable for knitting sleeves, collars, hats and other circular pieces with small diameters in the round.
- 60cm circular needles: suitable for knitting children's sweaters and close-fitting women's tops in the round.
- 80cm circular needles (standard size): suitable for knitting the body of adult sweaters and other pieces of larger diameters in the round, and for knitting flat.
- 120cm circular needles: allows you to knit large pieces like cardigans, shawls etc more comfortably.
