Using these ChiaoGoo Knit RED Circular Needles is a breeze. First, pick the right size and length for your project. Then, start by casting on your yarn onto the needle. As you knit, the smooth red nylon coating on the cable will let the yarn slide easily, making your knitting process quicker. When you're done with your project, simply remove the finished piece from the needles. To keep your needles in great shape, avoid bending them too much as they're made of stainless steel but can still be damaged. You can clean them with a soft, dry cloth. Store them in a cool, dry place, away from moisture and direct sunlight to prevent rusting.
