The ChiaoGoo TWIST Red Lace Cables are the signature interchangeable cords from ChiaoGoo, much loved by knitters around the world. Designed with strength and flexibility in mind, they feature a multi-strand steel core coated in smooth, red nylon. This gives the cables their famous memory-free quality – they hang straight, don’t kink, and won’t coil back on themselves.
- Material: Multi-strand steel cable coated in red nylon
- Join: Smooth stainless steel connector with a secure screw-in mechanism
- Lengths available: 2in, 5in, 6in, 8in, 14in, 22in, 30in, 37in and 50in (5cm, 13cm, 15cm, 20cm, 35cm, 55cm, 75cm, 93cm and 125cm) [measured without tips attached]

These premium-quality cables allow stitches to glide smoothly, with no snagging at the joins. They are particularly suited for lace, fine yarns, and any project where precision and smooth knitting are important.
Tip: The finished circular needle length depends on the tips you attach. For example, a 22in TWIST cable combined with 5in tips gives an overall circular length of approx. 32in.
Whether you are knitting lace shawls, garments, or larger projects, the ChiaoGoo TWIST cables are a reliable essential in your interchangeable toolkit.
Quick rule of thumb: Mini is for the finest sizes, Small covers the mid-range, and Large is for chunkier tips.
The 2in (5cm) long red TWIST Mini cables are supplied as 3 cables per pack. To use with a Small tip you need a Small Tip To Mini Cable adapter.
