ChiaoGoo TWIST Shorties Interchangeable Knitting Needle Set 7230-S – 2" & 3" (5cm & 8cm) Tips | 3.5mm–5.0mm

The ChiaoGoo TWIST Shorties 7230-S Set is the perfect solution for knitters working on small circumference projects such as socks, sleeves, cuffs, baby garments, mittens, and hat crowns. Featuring a combination of 5cm (2") and 8cm (3") surgical stainless steel tips, this innovative system allows you to create ultra-short circular needles that are difficult to achieve with standard interchangeable sets.

Designed around ChiaoGoo's famous TWIST system, the Shorties feature precision-machined stainless steel lace tips with smooth joins, sharp points, and laser-etched sizing. The shorter tip lengths provide excellent control when knitting smaller projects while maintaining the quality and stitch glide ChiaoGoo is renowned for.

The included red TWIST cables feature a flexible multi-strand steel core coated in red nylon, creating a memory-free cable that resists twisting and kinking. Combined with the shorter tips, this allows knitters to create circular needle lengths as short as 23cm (9"), making them ideal for projects that would otherwise require double-pointed needles or magic loop techniques.
