Using these ChiaoGoo Knit RED Circular Needles is easy. Just thread your yarn onto the needle and start knitting your project. When using, make sure to handle the needles gently to avoid bending the cable. To clean, simply wipe them with a soft, dry cloth. Store them in a cool, dry place to prevent rusting. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials on the needles as this can damage the red nylon coating and the steel. If you're a beginner, these needles with their smooth surface and blunt tips are a great choice to start your knitting journey.
