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 onto the needle. As you knit, the smooth red nylon - coated cable will let the yarn slide easily, so your work will progress smoothly. When you're done knitting, gently remove your work from the needles. To keep these needles in good shape, avoid dropping them on hard surfaces as they are made of stainless steel but can still get damaged. You can clean them with a soft, dry cloth. Store them in a safe place, away from sharp objects that could scratch the smooth finish.
