Using your ChiaoGoo RED Lace Circular Needles is easy. First, pick the right size needle for your yarn and project. Thread your yarn onto the needle and start knitting as you normally would. The smooth surface and sharp tips make it simple to create various stitches. When you're done with your knitting session, gently remove the yarn from the needles. To keep your needles in great shape, store them in a dry place away from moisture to prevent rusting. Avoid dropping them on hard surfaces as this could damage the tips. And remember, the US 17 needles have a non - standard size, so double - check your pattern requirements when using them.
