Using these ChiaoGoo Knit RED Circular Needles is a breeze. First, choose the right size and length for your project. Thread your yarn through the cable and start knitting as you normally would. The smooth surface of the needles and the nylon - coated cable will help the yarn slide easily. When you're done with your knitting, don't pull the yarn too hard to avoid damaging the cable. To clean the needles, simply wipe them with a soft, dry cloth. Store them in a dry place to prevent rusting. These needles are built to last, but handle them gently to keep them in great condition for all your future knitting adventures.
