ChiaoGoo's original line of fixed RED Stainless Steel Circulars uses a flexible, multi-strand, steel cable coated with red nylon that allows your yarn to slide right over and has no memory. Made of surgical stainless steel they have a smooth, satin-sheen finish that won't reflect any light making it hard to see your work. The spectacular tips and joins are precisely machined and are lightweight and strong, and the  bend in the needle helps ease hand fatigue. Needle size is permanently laser imprinted on each circular.
