About this Set

The ChiaoGoo Forté 2.0 represents the next generation of luxury interchangeable needle sets. This beautifully engineered collection blends modern carbon fibre and stainless steel with the warmth of sustainable African Blackwood. Each element has been designed for smoothness, strength and lasting comfort.

The updated 2.0 edition features patent-pending carbon fibre/stainless steel tips, elegant Blackwood and steel tips, and both SWIV360™ and TWIST™ Red memory-free cables - all stored in a premium REACH-compliant zippered case.

Unique Features

These four patent-pending technologies set Forté needles apart:

1. Carbon fibre and stainless steel construction for strength and durability - no plating, no rust.
2. Precision-engineered, glue-free press-fit assembly for secure joints.
3. Ground for perfect joins and exact size accuracy.
4. Advanced nano-coating ensures a smooth, drag-free yarn feed.

What’s Included

• Eight pairs of 5in (13cm) carbon fibre tips with stainless steel points: 2.75mm, 3mm, 3.25mm, 3.5mm, 3.75mm, 4mm, 4.5mm, 5mm
• Six pairs of 5in (13cm) African Blackwood tips with stainless steel points: 5.5mm, 6mm, 6.5mm, 8mm, 9mm, 10mm
• Six SWIV360™ silver cables: 14in, 22in and 30in – Small [S] and Large [L]
• Three TWIST™ Red Lace cables: 14in, 22in and 30in – Small [S]
• Accessories: scissors, measuring tape, stitch markers, darning needles, end stoppers, needle/swatch gauge and more
• Luxury case with:
  • Double-sided removable needle board for tips
  • Elastic sections for accessories
  • Four interior pockets and a pattern slot
  • Full zip closure for secure storage

All Forté components use [S] and [L] joins, compatible with ChiaoGoo’s interchangeable systems. Each steel join is laser-etched with the tip size and join type - markings that never wear off.

Helpful Tips

• When tightening, hold the tip by its metal join (not the shaft) and use the provided key for a secure connection.
• Occasionally clean cables with rubbing alcohol (surgical spirit) to maintain smoothness.
• To remove stoppers, use two keys to loosen before unscrewing by hand.
