It's back for 2024 and better than ever, though still available in only limited quantities! The Special Edition Forte Set includes 5" stainless steel tips (US2-US15, including US2.5), as well as three cable lengths to make 24", 32", and 40" circulars for both the small (2-8) and the large (9-15) tips. The US 2-8 tips have a stainless steel tip and carbon fiber shaft, while the US 9-15 needles have a stainless steel tip with a shaft crafted of sustainably sourced African blackwood,* which is soft and easy on the hands. The cords are soft and memory-free, just like the red cords we all love, but these cords swivel, also easing strain on the hands. The set includes the following:

  • 14 pairs of 5" (13cm) tips in sizes US2 – 15 (2.75mm – 10mm), including US2.5 (3mm) (US2-8 tips of stainless steel and carbon fiber; US9-15 tips of stainless steel and blackwood)
  • 6 silver, memory-free, multi-strand steel SWIV360 cables (2 14”/35cm, 1 each of [S] and [L], to make 24”/60cm circulars; 2 22"/55cm, 1 each of [S] and [L], to make 32"/80cm circulars; 2 30"/75cm, 1 each of [S] and [L], to make 40”/100cm circulars
  • 3 [S] red TWIST, memory-free, multi-strand steel cables (14"/35cm, 22"/55cm & 30"/75cm) (new to the 2.0 set)
  • Accessories: stainless steel scissors, 4 end stoppers, 20 stitch markers, measuring tape, 2 tightening keys, 4 cable connectors, 1 heart-shaped gripper, 2 darning needles, 2 [L]-[S] adapters, a swatch/needle gauge, and two safety pins

Elegant and functional REACH compliant man-made material case with a full zipper enclosure; double-sided removable needle board that firmly houses all tips; elastic that securely holds but gives easy access to accessories; as well as 4 pockets to hold the rest of your knitting supplies, including a pattern or notes.

*African blackwood is most often used to make musical instruments, and ChiaoGoo uses scraps from this industry to craft their needles. ChiaoGoo also plants an African blackwood tree for every set sold.

Absolutely love this interchangeable needle set. The needles are lightweight and the cables are so flexible that they just kind of disappear as you knit. Highly recommend!

All of the needles sizes, 2 -15, and accessories are of highest quality. The case has ample storage and looks like high quality leather.
