The ChiaoGoo TWIST BLUE cables are ideal to slightly extend a circular knitting needle or to make a short circular needle for circular knitting projects with a small diameter, such as socks, mittens or hats. This set contains 3 short cables and 2 tightening keys for tightening and loosening the ChiaoGoo cables to the interchangeable tips, connectors or end stoppers. The extremely flexible (X-flex) cable with blue nylon coating consists of multiple steel wires, which prevent the cable from kinking or twisting while knitting. The ChiaoGoo TWIST BLUE cables have a SMALL (S) screw size and are compatible with both ChiaoGoo TWIST Lace knitting needle tips (8, 10, and 13cm) and the TWIST SHORTIES needle tips (8cm). Please note that for the 10cm- and 13cm-long needle tips it is necessary to extend the short cables with an S-sized cable connector. The ChiaoGoo TWIST BLUE cables are available in 5, 13, 15 and 20cm lengths. Supplied per 1 set of 3 cables.
General information applicable to all ChiaoGoo interchangeables
TWIST and SPIN products share the same screw size, making them compatible with each other. All needle tips and cables are laser engraved with the respective screw size:
- M = MINI, applies to needle sizes 1.50-2.50mm (10 and 13cm) and 1.50-3.25mm (8cm)
- S = Small, applies to needle sizes 2.75-5.00mm (10 and 13cm) and 3.50-5.00mm (8cm)
- L = Large, applies to needle sizes 5.50-10.00mm (10 and 13cm)
The MINI range is not compatible with the S and L screw size, therefore all MINI needle tips require a MINI cable. Please note that the 10cm- and 13cm-long MINI needle tips are too long for use with the 5cm-, 13cm- and 15cm-long MINI cables. They can be easily connected by means of a MINI cable connector to extend the cable length. ChiaoGoo also offers adapters which can connect MINI, S and L screw-sized products together.
Exception: the ChiaoGoo MINI SHORTIES needle tips (sizes 1.50-3.25mm) are only compatible with MINI screw-sized products.
