Stainless-steel lace tips
Smooth, surgical-grade stainless steel supports easy stitch movement, while the tapered points help enter fine, crossed or grouped stitches.
Build circular needles for lace, garments, shawls and blankets with the ChiaoGoo TWIST Red Lace Complete Set. It combines 13cm surgical stainless-steel lace tips, flexible memory-free red cables and the essential accessories in one compact, organised fabric case.
Precision lace points
Instead of buying a separate fixed circular for every size and length, connect the tip pair and cable that suit the next project. The 13cm format gives a standard-length handhold for 60cm and longer circulars.
The finely tapered lace points help with decreases, cables, lace and detailed stitch work, while the smooth joins are designed to let stitches travel between the metal tip and cable with less interruption.
Each part solves a different frustration: stainless-steel tips designed for precision, cables that resist coiling and joins that tighten securely.
Smooth, surgical-grade stainless steel supports easy stitch movement, while the tapered points help enter fine, crossed or grouped stitches.
A multi-strand steel core coated in red nylon comes out of storage virtually straight, reducing the coil found in many circular cables.
Add compatible tips, cable lengths and accessories over time. Match the MINI [M], Small [S] or Large [L] join label before connecting parts.
The Complete 7500-C set combines seven Small [S] tip pairs and six Large [L] tip pairs. Check the list below—3mm, 7mm and 7.5mm are not included.
Each number below represents one matching pair of tips.
The case organises both connection sizes, the working cables and the accessories used to secure, extend and pause your circular needles.
13cm surgical stainless-steel lace tips in the exact 2.75–10mm sizes shown above.
Three Small [S] and three Large [L] cables—one of each join in the included lengths.
Small and Large connectors let matching cables join together when additional length is useful.
Secure live stitches on a cable while the tips are used elsewhere or the project is stored.
Insert a key through the lifeline hole for leverage when tightening or releasing a threaded join.
Stitch markers, a needle gauge and the compact zippered floral fabric case complete the set.
ChiaoGoo measures interchangeable cables without the tips. With the included 13cm tips attached, these cable lengths make approximately the following complete circular needles.
| Cable alone | Approx. finished circular | Included joins | Useful for |
|---|---|---|---|
| 35cm / 14 inches | 60cm / 24 inches | 1 Small + 1 Large | Cowls, smaller bodies, compact flat work |
| 55cm / 22 inches | 80cm / 32 inches | 1 Small + 1 Large | Garments, shawls and travelling-loop work |
| 75cm / 30 inches | 100cm / 40 inches | 1 Small + 1 Large | Blankets, larger shawls and Magic Loop |
Small [S] tips connect to Small [S] cables; Large [L] tips connect to Large [L] cables. ChiaoGoo’s Large-tip-to-Small-cable adapter is a separate accessory for specific mixed-join combinations.
The tapered lace points help enter decreases, yarn overs, cable crossings and stitches grouped for textured techniques.
Reach for: finer Small [S] tips and the length your stitch count needs.Build 60, 80 or 100cm circulars for bodies, yokes, worked-flat panels and seamless construction across a broad yarn-weight range.
Good to know: cable and tip can be changed as the project grows.Let the flexible steel-core cable carry the weight of a high stitch count instead of holding the entire project on straight needles.
Expand later: add longer matching cables or join cables with connectors.
Pair Small [S] tips with Small cables and Large [L] tips with Large cables unless using the correct adapter.
Screw the tip and cable together cleanly, taking care not to cross-thread or force the metal connection.
Place a T-key through the lifeline hole for leverage and give the tip a secure final hand-tightening before knitting.
The set already includes three cable lengths for each join. Additional genuine cables let you keep more projects active or build other lengths.

The 7500-C Complete set includes 13 pairs of 13cm / 5-inch stainless-steel lace tips. They cover seven Small [S] sizes and six Large [L] sizes.
The included sizes are 2.75, 3.25, 3.5, 3.75, 4, 4.5, 5, 5.5, 6, 6.5, 8, 9 and 10mm. The Complete set does not include 3, 7 or 7.5mm tips.
They identify the threaded connection size. The 2.75–5mm tips use Small [S] cables; the 5.5–10mm tips use Large [L] cables. Match the labels before connecting parts.
The set contains 35, 55 and 75cm cables in both Small and Large joins—six cables total. With the 13cm tips attached, they make approximately 60, 80 and 100cm circular needles.
No. ChiaoGoo specifies 10cm / 4-inch tips with a 20cm cable for an approximately 40cm circular. The shortest included combination in this 13cm-tip set is approximately 60cm.
Choose based on hand comfort and project type. The 13cm / 5-inch set suits standard 60cm-and-longer circulars and provides a longer grip. The 10cm / 4-inch set is better suited to shorter circular combinations and knitters who prefer shorter tips.
ChiaoGoo says TWIST and SPIN tips, cables and accessories are switchable when the connection size matches. Always match MINI [M], Small [S] or Large [L], or use the correct purpose-made adapter.
Thread waste yarn through the lifeline hole before knitting across the row so the cable carries it through the live stitches. The same hole accepts the T-shaped key for tightening the connection.
Yes. The flexible 80cm and 100cm assembled circulars can be used for Magic Loop when the chosen length suits your technique and project.
ChiaoGoo describes the tips as surgical stainless steel and says they are user-friendly for knitters sensitive to nickel, but does not describe them as nickel-free on its product page. Anyone with a known metal allergy should check the manufacturer’s latest material guidance before purchase.
