I've bought the more expensive needles and I don't use them any more since I bought by Chiaogoo needles. On the more expensive needles, cables break, the joins aren't smooth, or the cables won't straighten out. Very frustrating. With the cheaper needles I've actually worn out the tips with the way I knit. I've put actual grooves in the tips, or the finish has worn away. With my Chiaogoo I haven't had any of those problems. I wish when I started knitting, I had bought Chiaogoo instead of the other brands. I figure I could have bought 4 complete sets of Chiaogoo needles with what I spent over the years on the more expensive and cheaper needle brands. If I could go back in time I would tell my younger self to not bother with all the other brands. As well Chiaogoo stands behind their products 100%. If you have a problem, they honestly try to make it better. If a new knitter asks what brand of needles they should get, I always recommend Chiaogoo. Even if it's to buy their fixed circular or a single interchangeable set. If they can't figure out which type to buy (bamboo or length) I tell them to go to the nearest yarn shop and ask to try them out. If the shop is any good, they will have samples to try out.

Wow, makes sense! Thanks alot! I did try it yesterday, mine are metal ones, a bit slippery so my tension isn't how it usually is in my wooden needle but I still I really like how many options this set opens up. I'm still brand new to knitting so I hope I'll be able to tell the difference at some point

Chiaogoo is pretty good for listening to their customers. Post on their Ravelry forum and see if they have plans. Who knows they might start making them if there is enough demand.  Post time 2024-1-7 02:51
