The joins that don't snag, the cables that lie flat out of the packet, the points that are sharp without being vicious. It's the brand people buy once and then keep buying. Forté is what ChiaoGoo does when it stops being practical and starts being indulgent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThis is the top of the line. Fourteen pairs of 5-inch tips, and not one of them is filler: eight small sizes in stainless steel with carbon fiber, six large ones in stainless steel with African Blackwood. The small needles stay light and slim through hours of sock and lace knitting; the big ones have the warmth and weight of real wood in your hands on a bulky sweater. Every join is laser etched with the size, so it never rubs off and you're never squinting at an unmarked needle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe cables are the newest thing ChiaoGoo makes. The silver SWIV360 cables do everything the beloved red and blue TWIST cables do (memory-free, no coiling, no hot-water tricks) and they swivel, so your work turns freely instead of fighting the cord. Three red [S] TWIST cables come along as well, for the fine-gauge days when you want the classic feel. Nine cables in three lengths, in both join sizes: whatever circumference the pattern asks for, you already have it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eAnd the case is the giveaway that this is the special edition. It opens like a book, with a double-sided removable board that holds all fourteen pairs firmly in place, a magnetic strip, elastic loops for the notions, four pockets for your pattern, and a full zipper so nothing escapes on the train. There's even a little metal tin for the smallest tools. Made from REACH-compliant man-made material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eBuy it as your first serious set and you'll never need another. Buy it after twenty years of knitting and you'll finally have the one you wanted all along.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSet Contents\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCarbon Fiber \u0026amp; Stainless Steel Tips [S]\u003c\/strong\u003e, 8 pairs, 13 cm \/ 5 in\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2.75 mm (US 2)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3.00 mm (US 2.5)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3.25 mm (US 3)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3.50 mm (US 4)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3.75 mm (US 5)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4.00 mm (US 6)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4.50 mm (US 7)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5.00 mm (US 8)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAfrican Blackwood \u0026amp; Stainless Steel Tips [L]\u003c\/strong\u003e, 6 pairs, 13 cm \/ 5 in\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5.50 mm (US 9)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6.00 mm (US 10)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6.50 mm (US 10.5)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e8.00 mm (US 11)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e9.00 mm (US 13)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e10.00 mm (US 15)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSWIV360 Cables\u003c\/strong\u003e, 6 silver memory-free cables\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e35 cm \/ 14 in, [S] and [L]\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e55 cm \/ 22 in, [S] and [L]\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e75 cm \/ 30 in, [S] and [L]\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTWIST Red Lace Cables\u003c\/strong\u003e, 3 memory-free cables, [S] join\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e35 cm \/ 14 in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e55 cm \/ 22 in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e75 cm \/ 30 in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eWith tips attached, the cables make circulars of 60 cm \/ 24 in, 80 cm \/ 32 in and 100 cm \/ 40 in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAccessories\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4 cable connectors (2 small, 2 large)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4 end stoppers (2 small, 2 large)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 [L]-to-[S] adapters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 tightening keys\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 heart-shaped rubber gripper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e20 stitch markers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 darning needles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 safety pins\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 stainless steel scissors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 retractable measuring tape\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 swatch \/ needle gauge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 pen\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 small metal tin for small tools\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eZippered case with double-sided removable needle board\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBrand: ChiaoGoo\u003cbr\u003eModel: Forté 2.0, item 4500-C\u003cbr\u003eTip length: 13 cm \/ 5 in\u003cbr\u003eSize range: 2.75 mm (US 2) to 10.00 mm (US 15)\u003cbr\u003eMaterials: carbon fiber, African Blackwood, stainless steel\u003cbr\u003eJoins: [S] and [L], compatible with all similarly coded ChiaoGoo interchangeable parts\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eThis product is final sale and cannot be returned or exchanged.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ChiaoGoo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46456552128582,"sku":"4500-c","price":350.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0641\/8625\/3382\/files\/81vCEk2cThL._AC_SL1500.jpg?v=1787861005","url":"https:\/\/coneandfiber.com\/products\/chiaogoo-forte-2-0-interchangeable-circular-needle-set-5-13-cm","provider":"Cone and Fiber Inc","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
