Using these ChiaoGoo Knit RED Circular Needles is easy. Start by choosing the right size and length for your project. Thread your yarn onto the needle and begin knitting as usual. The smooth red nylon coating on the cable helps the yarn slide easily, making your knitting process faster. When not in use, store the needles in a dry place to prevent rusting. Avoid bending the needles too much as they are made of steel and can break if over - stressed. Clean them gently with a dry cloth if they get dirty. With proper care, these needles will serve you well for many knitting projects.
