QUADS - Square not Round

ChiaoGoo QUADS Interchangeable Lace Tips

ChiaoGoo QUADS are interchangeable knitting needle tips with a subtle difference. Instead of the traditional round profile, they feature a gently squared shape with softly rounded edges. It's a small design change that gives the needles a different feel in the hand while still producing exactly the same stitches.

The four flat sides provide a little more grip than a round needle, making QUADS a popular choice for knitters who prefer a little extra control. Many knitters find they can hold the needles more comfortably, particularly during longer knitting sessions, without needing to grip them quite so firmly.

The Same ChiaoGoo Quality

Although the profile is different, QUADS retain everything that has made ChiaoGoo Lace needles so popular.

Each tip is made from hypoallergenic surgical stainless steel with the brand's beautifully smooth finish. The sharp Lace points make them ideal for intricate stitch patterns, lace knitting, cables and projects where precision matters.

Fully Compatible

QUADS interchangeable tips are available in both 10cm and 13cm lengths and fit ChiaoGoo's interchangeable cable system.

Sizes 3.25mm to 5.00mm use [S] cables and accessories, while 5.50mm to 8.00mm use [L] cables. This means they're easy to add to an existing ChiaoGoo interchangeable collection without replacing your cables.

Who Are QUADS For?

QUADS won't change your knitting style or alter your stitch size. Instead, they offer a different feel in the hand.

If you like the smooth glide and sharp points of ChiaoGoo Lace needles but would prefer a little more stability while knitting, the gently squared profile makes QUADS an excellent alternative to traditional round needles.
