Chiaogoo needles are our top pick here at Knit Collage because they have a smooth join and are great for beginner and advanced knitters alike. The long cord (60"/ 152 cm) Chiaogoo's are available in their RED Lace line of metal tips. The needle size shown here, is a US 17 (12.75 mm) with a 60"/ 152 cm fixed circular cord. These needles will work well for many of our Knit Collage patterns.
