ChiaoGoo Forté Stainless Steel & Carbon Fiber Interchangeable Tips

The most indulgent thing ChiaoGoo makes, sold one pair at a time.

ChiaoGoo is already the brand knitters reach for first. Forté is what they build when practicality stops being the point. Carbon fiber shafts, stainless steel points, and a black-on-silver finish that looks like nothing else in a project bag.

The carbon fiber is the reason to own them. It's stiff without being heavy, so a US 2 doesn't flex under a tight cable round and a US 15 doesn't tire your hands over an evening of bulky knitting. The stainless points are ChiaoGoo's lace taper: sharp enough to split a k3tog cleanly, blunt enough not to shred your yarn or your fingertips.

Where the shaft meets the steel there's no seam to feel. The two materials are press-fitted and the join is ground true, so stitches travel from cable to tip to fingers without a single catch. A slick surface treatment keeps the yarn moving even on grabby wool.

Every tip is laser marked with its size in US and metric on the steel, so the marking outlives the needle. Coded [S] or [L] and threaded to the ChiaoGoo interchangeable standard, they work with every TWIST, SWIV360 and Forté cable you already own.

Buy the size your current pattern needs, or buy the gaps in your set. Either way, they're the pair you'll reach past everything else for.
