| Variant | Product code | Fits |
|---|---|---|
| Small [S] | 2501-VS | Matching Small tips and cables; standard tips generally 2.75–5.00mm |
| Large [L] | 2501-VL | Matching Large tips and cables; standard tips generally 5.50–10.00mm |
These add swivel movement. They do not convert one connection size to another and do not fit MINI [M] components or other needle brands.
Fitting and care
Screw the adapter between the tip and cable, keeping the threads straight. Secure the joins using the ChiaoGoo tightening key holes without forcing them. The adapter adds a little length to the assembled needle, which matters on very short circulars.
Keep the joins clean, check them periodically as you knit and avoid gripping the swivel with pliers.
What you receive
Two stainless steel ChiaoGoo swivel adapters in the selected connection size. Needle tips and cables are sold separately.
Questions before you choose
Do I need these with SWIV360 cables?
SWIV360 cables already have swivel joins. These adapters are intended to add swivel movement to compatible fixed-join TWIST red and X-Flex blue cables.
Can Small tips fit Large cables with this adapter?
No. This is a swivel adapter, not a thread-size converter. Both components must match the adapter connection.
Does Small mean a short cable?
No. Small [S] names the connection size. Choose the cable length separately for your project.
