Full 2.75–10mm range
Move from fine lace and lighter garments to chunkier yarns without buying a second interchangeable set.
The 7400-C combines thirteen 10cm stainless-steel tip pairs with eight memory-free red cables across Small [S] and Large [L] joins. From 2.75mm lace tips to 10mm needles, the matching 20cm cables make approximately 40cm circulars for hats, sleeves, cowls and other compact rounds.
Complete + compact
Many Complete sets cover a wide needle range but start at longer circular lengths. The 7400-C is different: its 10cm tip format works with the included 20cm cables to create a genuine approximately 40cm circular.
The satin-finished surgical stainless steel supports smooth stitch glide, the tapered lace points help enter detailed stitches, and the red nylon-coated steel-core cables resist coiling and kinking.
Move from fine lace and lighter garments to chunkier yarns without buying a second interchangeable set.
The manoeuvrable tip length is useful for smaller rounds and for knitters who prefer less needle in the hand.
Matching Small and Large cables, connectors and stoppers keep all thirteen tip sizes ready to use.
The connection changes after 5mm. Match each tip group to the same letter on its cable and accessories.
Each metric size represents one matching pair.

Seven Small [S] and six Large [L] pairs, all 10cm long and in the exact sizes above.
Four Small and four Large: two 20cm, one 35cm and one 55cm in each join family.
One Small and one Large connector for joining cables within the same connection family.
Two Small and two Large stoppers secure live stitches when tips are removed.
Use a key through the cable-end hole for leverage when securing or releasing a threaded join.
Twenty-four stitch markers, a needle gauge and zippered black floral fabric case complete the set.
Cable lengths are measured without tips. The approximate finished lengths below use the included 10cm tip pairs.
| Cable alone | Small [S] supplied | Large [L] supplied | Approx. finished circular |
|---|---|---|---|
| 20cm / 8 inches | 2 cables | 2 cables | 40cm / 16 inches |
| 35cm / 14 inches | 1 cable | 1 cable | 56cm / 22 inches |
| 55cm / 22 inches | 1 cable | 1 cable | 76cm / 30 inches |
The 2.75–5mm tips use Small [S] cables; the 5.5–10mm tips use Large [L] cables. The two threaded joins are different sizes and do not connect directly to one another.
Use the tapered points and finer Small tips for decreases, lace motifs, cables and textured stitches.
Included range: seven Small sizes from 2.75–5mm.Build a 40cm circular in either connection family, so both fine and thicker-yarn projects can stay compact.
Short-set advantage: two 20cm cables per join.Use the 56 or 76cm circulars, connect matching cables or add longer cables when the stitch count grows.
Expandable: genuine TWIST components can be added later.
Pair Small tips with Small cables and Large tips with Large cables; never force mismatched threads.
Screw the tip and cable together gently and stop if the precision connection does not turn smoothly.
Place a T-key through the cable-end hole for leverage and give the tip a secure final hand-tightening.

Thirteen pairs of 10cm stainless-steel lace tips: seven Small [S] pairs and six Large [L] pairs.
2.75, 3.25, 3.5, 3.75, 4, 4.5, 5, 5.5, 6, 6.5, 8, 9 and 10mm. The set does not include 3, 7 or 7.5mm.
Eight: two 20cm, one 35cm and one 55cm cable in Small [S], plus the same four-cable configuration in Large [L].
Yes. Use a 20cm cable with the matching 10cm tip pair—Small cable for 2.75–5mm or Large cable for 5.5–10mm—to create an approximately 40cm circular.
They identify the threaded join size. The 2.75–5mm tips use Small cables; 5.5–10mm tips use Large cables. The two joins do not connect directly.
This lets you keep two approximately 40cm circular setups active within either connection family, or retain one short cable as a spare.
Choose 7400-S if 2.75–5mm covers your work. Choose 7400-C when you also want the six Large sizes from 5.5–10mm and their matching cables and accessories.
Choose 10cm tips for a shorter handhold and 40cm circulars. Choose the 13cm Complete set if you prefer a longer grip and mainly use circulars of approximately 60cm or longer.
Thread waste yarn through the cable-end hole before knitting across a row so the cable carries it through the live stitches. The same hole accepts a tightening key.
ChiaoGoo says TWIST and SPIN components are switchable when the connection size matches. Match MINI [M], Small [S] or Large [L], or use the correct purpose-made adapter.
Add the 7400-C set above, or compare the Small and 5-inch alternatives before deciding.
