ChiaoGoo Bamboo Circular Knitting Needle 16in (40cm) long

A popular size for hats, cowls, and yokes. Warm bamboo tips with smooth, durable joins. Small sizes (2–3mm) use non-swivel steel-core cables, while larger (3.25mm upwards) have pliable swivel nylon.

A favourite for hats, cowls, yokes, and sleeves, the 16in bamboo circulars balance control and comfort. Patina bamboo provides just enough grip for slippery fibres, while secure nickel-plated joins keep stitches moving smoothly.

• 2–3mm: silver-coloured, memory-free cable (fixed join).

• 3.25mm+: clear swivel nylon cable with nickel-plated copper join, crimped for durability.

• Straight bamboo tips with warm, natural feel.

• Laser-etched sizing for longevity.

Tip length: 3in (8cm) bamboo 2½in (6.5cm) and fitting ½in

Ideal for hats and sleeves. Why not try a new technique and use a pair to knit socks?
