ChiaoGoo TWIST Yellow Shorties Interchangeable Needle Set – 3" Tips [L]

The ChiaoGoo TWIST Yellow Shorties interchangeable knitting needle set combines 3-inch (8 cm) tips in sizes US 9–11 (5.5–8 mm) with SWIV360 cables to make 12-inch (30 cm) or 14-inch (36 cm) circular needles. This [L] extension set is a compact option for knitting sleeves in the round when your pattern calls for these sizes and lengths.

As your sleeve takes shape, choose the circular length that suits your stitches and keep the remaining components together in the yellow nylon pocket pouch. The included tip sleeve and accessories help keep your small-project tools organized between knitting sessions.

Choose the right Shorties set

Choose the Yellow Shorties set when you need the US 9–11 size range and short circulars for small-circumference knitting. Match needle size to your pattern's gauge, then choose the assembled length that suits your project. Compact 3-inch tips feel different from longer tips, so consider your preferred grip.
