Precision lace tips. A dependable red cable.
ChiaoGoo RED Lace 100cm fixed circular needles combine tapered stainless steel tips with a flexible, red nylon-coated steel cable. A practical choice for shawls, blankets, garment bodies and magic loop knitting.
- Tapered points help you pick up stitches and work lace manoeuvres.
- Smooth stainless steel tips let stitches travel easily.
- The multi-strand steel cable has very little coil memory.

When to choose 100cm
The longer cable gives you room to spread out a wide row of stitches. Work flat by turning at the end of each row, or join in the round when the pattern calls for it. For socks or sleeves, use the magic loop technique rather than stretching the stitches around the full needle.
What you receive
One ChiaoGoo RED Lace fixed circular needle in your selected diameter. The 100cm measurement includes both needle tips and the cable. The tips are permanently attached; interchangeable tips and replacement cables cannot be fitted.
Care for your needles
Store in a loose curve and protect the points in your project bag. Avoid pinching the cable in a zip, bending it sharply or pulling on the joins. Wipe the tips with a soft, dry cloth after use.
Good to know
Is the length just the cable?
No. 100cm is the total length from one needle point to the other, including both tips.
Can I use these for plain knitting?
Yes. Lace refers to the tapered point; these needles also suit stocking stitch, rib, cables and other everyday knitting.
Do the tips unscrew?
No. This is a fixed circular, supplied as one complete needle.
