ChiaoGoo TWIST Large Shorties set 8cm 5.50-8.00mm - 1pc

The ChiaoGoo TWIST Shorties sets are the ideal interchangeable circular needle sets for smaller diameter knitting projects. The stainless steel knitting needles with a length of 8cm can be combined with the three cables supplied to create circular needles with a length of 30 and 36cm. This Large Shorties set is ideal for knitting sleeves. The pointy needle tips make these needles suitable for knitting patterns with multiple stitches, such as lace patterns, puff stitches, bubble and cable knitting. The extremely flexible (memory-free) SWIV360 cable consists of multiple steel wires, which prevent the cable from kinking or twisting while knitting. With the supplied tightening keys and the rubber gripper, the knitting needles are easy to loosen or tighten. The provided connectors allow multiple short cables to be combined into one long cable. The set can be stored in a yellow pouch that can accommodate several interchangeable needles and cables. In the small pocket you can store all sorts of other accessories, such as connectors, end stoppers, tightening keys and stitch markers. Both the large and small pockets have a zipper closure. The pouch can be attached to a larger bag for example by means of the ring.

This ChiaoGoo TWIST Large Shorties set includes the following:

• 4 x pairs of TWIST Shorties knitting needle tips with screw size L in sizes 5.50, 6.00, 6.50 and 8.00mm supplied in a pouch with labelled compartments
• 3 x SWIV360 cables and screw size L (2 x 30cm and 1 x 36cm total length including needle tips)
• 2 x end stoppers
• 2 x tightening keys
• 2 x connectors
• 6 x stitch markers
• 1 x red, heart-shaped rubber gripper

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.
