Using these ChiaoGoo Knit RED Circular Needles is easy. First, choose the right size and length for your project. Start by casting on your stitches as you normally would. The smooth red nylon - coated cable makes it simple for the yarn to slide across, so you can knit with ease. When you're done, don't bend the needles too much as they're made of steel and can break if over - flexed. To maintain them, just wipe them with a clean, dry cloth after each use. Store them in a safe place, away from moisture to prevent rusting. And that's all you need to know to get the most out of your ChiaoGoo Knit RED Circular Needles!
