ChiaoGoo TWIST Red Lace | Small 7400-S
The Small set that makes genuine 40cm circulars
ChiaoGoo’s 7400-S combines seven 10cm stainless-steel tip pairs with four Small [S] red cables—including two short 20cm cables. Build an approximately 40cm circular for hats, sleeves, cowls and baby knits, then switch cables as your project grows.
- 7 pairs of short lace tips in sizes 2.75–5mm.
- Two 20cm cables for two separate 40cm circular setups.
- Four memory-free Small [S] red cables in three useful lengths.
- Accessories and labelled fabric case keep the full system organised.

Why the 4-inch format matters
A shorter handhold for smaller rounds
The 10cm tip length is the defining difference. It allows the two tips and a 20cm cable to curve into an approximately 40cm circular—something the longer 13cm tips in the 7500-S cannot comfortably do.
Finely tapered lace points help with decreases, cables and detailed stitches. The satin-finished surgical stainless steel offers smooth glide, while the red nylon-coated steel-core cables resist coiling and kinking.
- Surgical stainless-steel tips
- Laser-etched size markings
- Virtually memory-free cables
- Lifeline holes at cable joins
Purpose-built for compact circular knitting
Two short cables
Keep two 40cm circular projects active, or use the second 20cm cable as a ready spare.
Expandable system
Add the missing 3mm tips, extra Small cables or other matching ChiaoGoo components as your project collection grows.

Why are there two 20cm cables?
This is the official 7400-S configuration. It lets you keep two short circular projects ready at once, or retain a second 20cm cable as a spare. Every included cable uses the Small [S] connection.
Short rounds first, longer work when needed
Hats + cowls
Work smaller tubular pieces without the excess cable loop created by a longer circular needle.
Set advantage: two separate 20cm cables.Sleeves + baby knits
The short tips and compact cable make small rounds easier to turn while the longer cables support growing sections.
Tip advantage: a manoeuvrable 10cm handhold.Shawls + Magic Loop
Use the 76cm assembled circular when that length suits your shawl, flat knitting or preferred small-circumference technique.
Range advantage: seven sizes from 2.75–5mm.Small 4-inch, Small 5-inch or Complete?

Tighten with the key
Place a T-key through the cable-end lifeline hole for leverage and give the tip a secure final hand-tightening.

ChiaoGoo 7400-S FAQs
Which needle sizes are included?
The seven included pairs are 2.75, 3.25, 3.5, 3.75, 4, 4.5 and 5mm. The 3mm / US 2.5 pair is available separately but is not part of the 7400-S set.
Which cables are included?
The set includes two 20cm, one 35cm and one 55cm Small [S] TWIST red cables. With the 10cm tips, they make approximately 40, 56 and 76cm circulars.
Why are two 20cm cables included?
Two short cables let you keep two approximately 40cm circular setups active, or retain one as a spare. This is the official cable configuration for the 7400-S.
Can the 7400-S make a 40cm / 16-inch circular?
Yes. Attach a pair of included 10cm tips to either 20cm cable to make an approximately 40cm circular needle.
What does Small [S] mean?
Small identifies the threaded connection size used by all seven included tips and all four included cables. MINI [M] and Large [L] parts do not connect directly without the appropriate adapter.
Should I choose 10cm or 13cm tips?
Choose 10cm tips for a shorter, more manoeuvrable handhold and the ability to make 40cm circulars. Choose the 13cm 7500-S if you prefer a longer grip and mainly use circulars of approximately 60cm or longer.
Should I choose the Small or Complete set?
Choose 7400-S when 2.75–5mm covers most of your knitting. Choose a Complete set when you also want 5.5–10mm tips and the matching Large [L] cables and accessories.
Can I use the set for Magic Loop?
Yes, when one of the longer included cables gives you enough loop for your project and technique. The 7400-S is especially valuable for standard short-circular knitting.
How do the lifeline holes work?
Thread waste yarn through the cable-end hole before knitting across the row so the cable carries it through the live stitches. The same hole accepts a T-key when tightening the join.
Are TWIST and SPIN components compatible?
ChiaoGoo says TWIST and SPIN tips, cables and accessories are switchable when the join size matches. Use Small [S] components with this set.
