Using these ChiaoGoo Knit RED Circular Needles is easy. First, pick the right size and length for your project. Start by threading your yarn through the cable and onto the needle tip. Then, begin your knitting as you normally would. The smooth nylon coating on the cable makes it a breeze for the yarn to slide. When you're done knitting, gently remove the finished piece from the needles. To keep your needles in good condition, avoid bending them too much as they're made of stainless steel and can break under excessive force. Clean them with a soft, dry cloth after use to remove any dust or lint. Store them in a safe place, away from sharp objects that could scratch the smooth finish.
