ChiaoGoo Quads 4 in. (10cm) US 7 (4.5 mm) Interchangeable Circular Knitting Needle Tips Stainless Steel [S] (uses Small Cables) with Stitch Holder

Q: What are ChiaoGoo QUADS interchangeable knitting needles? A: ChiaoGoo QUADS are square-shaped stainless steel interchangeable knitting needle tips designed to improve comfort, reduce strain, and create even stitches. Flat sides with rounded corners provide a relaxed grip compared to round circular knitting needles, making them ideal for long knitting sessions. Q: Do square knitting needles change gauge? A: No. ChiaoGoo QUADS are precision-calibrated to match the gauge of ChiaoGoo round TWIST interchangeable knitting needle tips. You do not need to size up or adjust patterns when switching from round needles. Q: What material are QUADS needle tips made from? A: QUADS tips are crafted from hypoallergenic stainless steel—the same premium material used in ChiaoGoo TWIST needles. They offer identical weight, balance, durability, and smooth yarn glide, plus sharp lace tips for precise knitting, cables, and lacework. Q: Which cables are compatible with ChiaoGoo QUADS? A: QUADS interchangeable needle tips work with all ChiaoGoo [S] Small and [L] Large interchangeable cables, including TWIST, SPIN, and SWIV360 cables. Tip sizes US 3–8 use [S] joins; US 9–11 use [L] joins. Q: Do QUADS interchangeable needles swivel? A: For full rotation, ChiaoGoo recommends using QUADS with ChiaoGoo Swivel Adapters or SWIV360 cables (sold separately). Swivel Adapters allow TWIST red and blue cables to rotate smoothly without compromising join strength. Q: What sizes and lengths are available? A: Available in US sizes 3 (3.25mm) through 11 (8mm), including US 10.75 (7mm). Offered in 4" (10cm) and 5" (13cm) interchangeable needle tip lengths. Sold as two tips per size. Q: Who are square knitting needles best for? A: Ideal for knitters with RSI, arthritis, or hand fatigue, knitters seeking better stitch control and uniformity, and ChiaoGoo interchangeable needle users wanting increased comfort without changing gauge or yarn performance.
