ChiaoGoo RED 40" Stainless Steel Fixed Circular Knitting Needles

ChiaoGoo RED 40-inch (100 cm) fixed circular knitting needles combine surgical-grade stainless steel tips with a memory-free red cable. The smooth, satin-sheen finish and precisely machined tips help yarn move along the needles as you work.

Reach for this long circular for a wide shawl, blanket panel or sweater project when your pattern calls for a 40-inch needle. The connecting cable holds stitches between the tips, and the fixed construction keeps the needles and cable together without interchangeable connections.

Choose the right needle for your project

Select the US size required by your pattern and check your gauge with your chosen yarn. All options in this listing have the same 40-inch total circular length; the US size identifies needle thickness.

For flat knitting, work back and forth without joining in the round. For standard circular knitting, make sure the needle length suits your project's circumference. Smaller circumferences require an appropriate technique or a different needle arrangement.

Frequently asked questions

Does 40 inches refer to the cable alone?

No. The 40-inch measurement is the complete circular length from one needle tip to the other, including the connecting cable.

What is the red cable made from?

The cable is made from multi-strand steel coated with red nylon. Its memory-free construction helps it avoid retaining a coiled shape.

Are these interchangeable needles?

No. This listing is for fixed circular needles, not separate tips, replacement cables or an interchangeable set.

Which needle size should I order?

Choose the US size needed to achieve your pattern's gauge. Check the selected option for current availability before ordering.
