ChiaoGoo TWIST Red Lace Interchangeable Needle Set 7500-L – Large Set 5" (13cm) Stainless Steel Tips
Premium ChiaoGoo performance for your bigger knits
The ChiaoGoo TWIST Red Lace 7500-L is a beautifully focused interchangeable set for knitters who regularly work with thicker yarns. Six useful sizes from 5.5mm to 10mm cover chunky garments, cosy blankets, hats, cowls, scarves and statement homewares—without filling your case with finer tips you may never use.
- Six pairs of 13cm stainless-steel Lace tips from 5.5mm to 10mm
- Three memory-free red cables for approximately 60cm, 80cm and 100cm circulars
- Smooth joins and precise tapers for comfortable, confident knitting
- Organised zippered case and accessories included
The Large set
Every included tip and cable uses ChiaoGoo's Large [L] connection.
Focused—not cut down
The 7500-L contains the entire large-size range from ChiaoGoo's 5-inch Complete set. It is the smart choice when the projects on your needles tend to begin at 5.5mm rather than end there.
You get the same premium tip construction, red cables and secure interchangeable system, in a compact case devoted to bigger knitting.
Beautiful control, even with substantial yarn
The hollow surgical stainless-steel tips feel light in the hand, while the smooth satin surface lets stitches travel cleanly without feeling slippery or grabby. ChiaoGoo's carefully tapered Lace points make it easier to enter stitches, work decreases and manage textured patterns.
The 13cm length gives larger hands and heavier projects a comfortable area to hold. Inside each red nylon-coated cable is a multi-strand steel core that stays flexible and resists curling, helping your knitting sit naturally in your lap.
- Lightweight hollow tips
- Laser-marked sizes
- Memory-free steel-core cables
- Secure screw-in joins
- Lifeline holes at cable ends
- Reusable modular system

| Included tip size | US size | Tip length | Connection |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5.5mm | US 9 | 13cm / 5in | Large [L] |
| 6.0mm | US 10 | 13cm / 5in | Large [L] |
| 6.5mm | US 10.5 | 13cm / 5in | Large [L] |
| 8.0mm | US 11 | 13cm / 5in | Large [L] |
| 9.0mm | US 13 | 13cm / 5in | Large [L] |
| 10.0mm | US 15 | 13cm / 5in | Large [L] |
Please note: 7mm, 7.5mm and 12mm tips are not included. The six exact sizes supplied are listed above.
Three lengths for garments, accessories and blankets
| Included cable | Approx. finished circular length with 13cm tips | Especially useful for |
|---|---|---|
| 35cm / 14in | 60cm / 24in | Hats, cowls, smaller garment sections and compact projects |
| 55cm / 22in | 80cm / 32in | Jumper bodies, cardigans, shawls and Magic Loop |
| 75cm / 30in | 100cm / 40in | Blankets, wide shawls, larger garments and Magic Loop |
Length is measured tip to tip. Because each tip is 13cm long, this set does not make a 40cm circular. Choose a ChiaoGoo 4-inch set or a fixed circular when a true 40cm circumference is required.
Where the 7500-L really earns its place
Always follow your pattern and knit a tension swatch. Yarn labels suggest a starting point, but the correct needle size depends on your required gauge and fabric.
Which ChiaoGoo interchangeable set suits you?
| Set | Tip range | Tip length | Best choice when… |
|---|---|---|---|
| 7500-L Large This set |
6 pairs: 5.5–10mm | 13cm / 5in | You mainly knit chunky garments, accessories, blankets and larger-gauge projects. |
| 7500-S Small | 7 pairs: 2.75–5mm | 13cm / 5in | You mainly knit socks, shawls, babywear, DK and finer garments. |
| 7500-C Complete | 13 pairs: 2.75–10mm | 13cm / 5in | You want both Small [S] and Large [L] ranges together in one case. |
| 7400-C Complete | 13 pairs: 2.75–10mm | 10cm / 4in | You prefer shorter tips or need the option of making 40cm circulars. |
In short: choose the 7500-L when bigger needles are your everyday sizes. You receive the same full Large range found in the 7500-C Complete set, without paying for seven finer tip pairs you may not need.
A simple Large [L] system that can grow with you
The 7500-L tips connect directly to ChiaoGoo cables carrying the Large [L] code. Compatible Large TWIST cables, SPIN cables, stoppers and connectors can be added separately, giving you extra lengths or allowing several projects to remain on cables at once.
Small [S] and MINI [M] parts do not connect directly. ChiaoGoo adapters are available for selected cross-system combinations; match the codes carefully when adding parts.
Helpful detail: the same hole used with the tightening key can also help carry a lifeline through your work.

Everything worth knowing before you choose
What exactly is the ChiaoGoo 7500-L?
It is ChiaoGoo's Large 5-inch TWIST Red Lace interchangeable set. It includes six pairs of 13cm stainless-steel tips from 5.5mm to 10mm, three Large red cables, accessories and a zippered case.
Is this a genuine complete Large-range set?
Yes. These are all six Large sizes supplied in ChiaoGoo's 5-inch Complete set. The 7500-L simply leaves out the seven finer Small-system sizes from 2.75mm to 5mm.
Which metric sizes are included?
5.5, 6, 6.5, 8, 9 and 10mm. There is no 7mm or 7.5mm tip in this set.
Are the tips 10cm or 13cm long?
They are 13cm / 5-inch tips. If you want shorter 10cm tips, look at ChiaoGoo's 7400-series sets.
What are the tips made from?
They are hollow surgical stainless steel with a smooth satin surface, laser-marked sizing and precisely tapered Lace points.
Are the Lace tips very sharp?
They are more precisely tapered than a blunt needle, making it easier to enter stitches and work decreases or texture. They are designed as knitting needles, but should still be stored safely away from children when not in use.
Which cable lengths are included?
One each of the 35, 55 and 75cm Large [L] TWIST red cables.
What circular lengths do the included cables make?
With the 13cm tips fitted, the included cables make circulars of approximately 60, 80 and 100cm, measured from one tip point to the other.
Can this set make a 40cm circular?
No. Two 13cm tips are too long to form a comfortable 40cm circular. For that length, choose suitable 10cm tips with the correct cable, a fixed 40cm circular, or another method such as Magic Loop.
Can I use this set for Magic Loop?
Yes. The flexible red cables are well suited to Magic Loop. The 80 or 100cm finished lengths are usually the most useful, depending on your project and personal preference.
Can I knit hats with it?
Yes. The 60cm circular may suit larger hats or some pattern stages; smaller circumferences can be worked with Magic Loop. Always check the method and circumference required by your pattern.
Can circular tips be used for flat knitting?
Absolutely. Turn the work at the end of each row just as you would with straight needles. The cable carries the fabric's weight, which many knitters find more comfortable for blankets and chunky garments.
Is the set suitable for chunky yarn?
Yes—this is exactly where the set shines. Its 5.5–10mm range suits many aran, chunky and selected super-chunky projects. Use the size needed to achieve your pattern's stated tension.
Does the yarn weight determine the needle size?
It provides a useful starting point, but gauge matters most. Pattern construction, fibre, stitch pattern and the fabric you want can all change the correct size, so knit a swatch before beginning a fitted project.
What does Large [L] mean?
It is ChiaoGoo's connection code for these larger tips and cables. Match an [L] tip to an [L] cable or accessory for a direct fit.
Will Small [S] cables screw directly into these tips?
No. Small and Large use different threaded joins. ChiaoGoo makes adapters for selected cross-system combinations, but direct connection requires matching codes.
Can I use Large SPIN cables with the tips?
Yes. ChiaoGoo TWIST tips and SPIN cables can be interchanged when both parts carry the same Large [L] connection code.
What stops the joins from unscrewing?
Insert a supplied T-key through the cable end's hole, then use it for grip while gently tightening the tip. Correct assembly makes a secure, smooth connection.
Where is the lifeline hole?
It is in the metal end of the cable—the same opening used with the T-shaped tightening key. Thread a lifeline through the hole before knitting the row when your technique calls for one.
What are the end stoppers for?
Screw them onto the cable after removing the tips to hold live stitches safely in place. This frees the tips for another project.
What does the cable connector do?
It joins two Large [L] cables to create a longer cable. Use the tightening keys to secure both joins and check them as you work.
Can I buy extra Large tips and cables later?
Yes. The modular system is designed to grow. Choose ChiaoGoo parts marked Large [L], or ask us to help confirm compatibility before ordering.
Is a storage case included?
Yes. The compact zippered fabric case keeps the six tip pairs and accessories organised and easy to transport.
Is it a good gift for a knitter?
It is an excellent premium gift for someone who loves chunky garments, blankets and winter accessories. If you are unsure whether they also need fine sizes, compare it with the 7500-C Complete set.
Can I take the set on an aircraft?
Knitting-needle rules can vary by airline, airport and destination. Check the current rules for every part of your journey before packing the set in hand luggage.
What guarantee applies?
ChiaoGoo provides a lifetime guarantee against manufacturing defects, subject to its terms and proof-of-purchase requirements. Normal wear, misuse and accidental damage are not manufacturing defects.
