    Chiaogoo Forte Needle Set

    ChiaoGoo Forte 2 has arrived

    The latest release of the original Forte set features an upgrade to ultra-strong carbon fibre on the smaller-sized tips and TWIST (red) cables that come with the SWIV360 cables.

    The ChiaoGoo Forte 2 set includes many accessories and a beautiful REACH-compliant case, making it the ultimate choice for interchangeable sets in terms of both quality and functionality.

    The Forté case is made of REACH-compliant man-made material and is both elegant and functional. It includes a double-sided, removable needle board that securely holds all tips, allowing for easy organisation and quick needle changes. Additionally, it has elastic to provide easy access to accessories and four pockets for your knitting supplies, including a dedicated spot for your pattern or notes. In true ChiaoGoo style, it opens book-style with a full zipper enclosure to ensure your supplies stay put.

    The set includes:

    • 14 pairs of 5” (13cm) tips 2.75 – 10mm, including 3mm. 2.75 - 5mm carbon fibre shaft, 5.5  - 10mm luxurious African Blackwood shaft.
    • Six memory-free SWIV360™ cables
    • Three Red TWIST Cables 
    • Steel scissors
    • Measuring tape
    • End stoppers
    • Stitch markers
    • Darning needles
    • Needle/swatch gauge and more come with the set

    All Forté parts and pieces have [S] or [L] size joins, so they are switchable with all of ChiaoGoo’s similarly coded interchangeable parts. Each threaded steel join is laser etched with the tip diameter and join size, which will never wear off.
