ChiaoGoo Special Edition Forté Set 2.0
ChiaoGoo's newest Special Edition interchangeable set, the Forté 2.0, includes tips that are an elegant combination of sleek stainless steel combined with Carbon Fiber or African Blackwood. The set boasts the new SWIV360 interchangeable cables. Silver in colour, these cables have the same properties as the much-loved red and blue TWIST cables, PLUS an added swivel feature! Knitters have been hoping for this for years. In addition to the SWIV cables, TWIST red cables are included for the small [S] sized tips. Each threaded steel join is laser etched with the tip diameter and join size, which will never wear off. All Forté parts and pieces have [S] or [L] size joins, so they are compatible with all similarly coded interchangeable parts.
Made of REACH-compliant man-made material, the Forté case is as elegant and functional as the tips and cables. It includes a double-sided, removable needle board that firmly houses all tips, elastic that securely holds but gives easy access to accessories, and four pockets to hold the rest of your knitting supplies, including a spot for your pattern or notes.
The Forté set includes 14 pairs of 5" (13 cm) tips as follows:
US 2 - US 8 (2.75 - 5.00mm) - Carbon Fibre shaft with stainless steel tips and joins
US 9 - US 15 (5.50 - 10.00mm) - African Blackwood shaft with stainless steel tips and joins
Plus the following accessories:
REACH-compliant zippered case
Six memory-free SWIV360 cables (14", 22", and 30" in both small [S] and large [L] joins)
Three memory-free TWIST red cables (14", 22", and 30" in small [S] joins)
Steel scissors, a measuring tape, pen, end stoppers, cable connectors, tip adapters, stitch markers, darning needles, and swatch/needle gauge
