Chiaogoo FORTE 2.0 Interchangeable 5" Set

Introducing Special Edition, Forte™ 2.0 interchangeable set!

In this newest generation set, the [S] join tips are made with stainless steel ends and carbon fibre shafts. They have smooth joins and the perfect grab, and they're VERY strong!. (Sizes 2.75mm - 5mm, US 2 - 8)

The [L] join tips are made of stainless steel and lustrous African blackwood that is slick for your yarn feed, and beloved by everyone who owns the 1.0 set.

All tips are permanently laser imprinted with the diameter and join size which will never wear off!

The superb case is well designed and super functional : Made of REACH compliant man-made material, it includes a double-sided, removable needle board that firmly holds tips; elastic that securely holds but gives easy access to accessories; and four pockets to hold your knitting supplies.

And, true to their other cases, it opens book-style with a full zipper enclosure to
ensure that nothing falls out.

As with their steel tips, these needles are just the right amount of pointy with a really great taper, that's neither too severe or so long that it affects your gauge.  ChiaoGoo have really mastered these tips.

In addition to the accessories in the original set, the Forte 2.0 includes an additional set of three red TWIST [S] cables - perfect for us fans of Chiaogoo's wonderful red cables!

HELPFUL TIPS

• When securing the connection with your tightening key, be sure to hold the tip by its metal join (not the shaft).
• Occasionally wipe down your cables with rubbing alcohol to ensure a smooth yarn feed.
• When removing stoppers from your cable, use two tightening keys to loosen the join and then unscrew by hand.
• Store and handle your cables safely. They are memory-free, not kink-free.
