The 3-inch (5cm) tips are hollow with no tightening hole. Use one 2-inch tip and one 3-inch tip to make a differential circular. Included with the set are 10 pair of tips, 3 X-Flex [S] cables, 2 cable connectors, 2 end stoppers, 6 stitch markers, 4 tightening keys, a needle gauge, a tip sleeve with labeled pockets and snap enclosure and, a compact, blue nylon pouch that holds everything. This set allows you to make 9-inch (23cm) and longer circulars. Caution: TWIST cables are made of a multi-strand steel cable with nylon coating. They WILL kink when compromised. Use carefully and store in a safe place when not in use. It is not recommended to use the 5-inch (13cm) cable with two 3-inch (8cm) tips. Review: Great needles - my favorite set - This has quickly become my favorite set of knitting needles. They are a pleasure to work with - high quality. I love the shorter needles which was the reason for my purchase. So much easier, for me, than 5-inch needles. It really has two cases - an outer zippered case and the heavy material case which holds the actual needles and is placed in the other case. Among the included tools is a connector piece if you wish to join two cables - giving many more choices for lengths of cables. The entire size is so small is's easy to travel with. Review: Love it - Love these knitting needles, so pretty ## Features - Includes 10 pair of surgical stainless steel tips (5 each of 2-inch/5cm and 3-inch/8cm) in sizes US4-8 (2.3.5-5.0mm) [S] - Includes 3 blue X-Flex, memory-free [S] cables: 5" (13cm), 6" (15cm), and 8" (20cm) to make 9" (23cm) and longer circulars - All tips, cables and accessories come in a blue, compact, zippered pouch with clasp ring to secure inside your knitting bag. Dims: 4 3/4" (120cm) x 3 7/8" (10cm) - The 2-inch tips have a tightening hole drilled near the threaded end to allow you to use two tightening keys at one time and ensure a secure tip-to-cable connection - Each tip is laser imprinted with the US/metric diameter size.

Looks in the description like small, so then would also be compatible with other ChiaoGoo small-size/long needles** A: Do I have these needles and tried my S cables and they work. Do yes you can use longer cables **Q: How do the blue X-flex cables compare to the red twist cables? Have used the latter extensively and love them, just wondering about new blue ones** A: I find them very satisfactory; I was able to complete a top down baby sweater, including the tiny sleeves using shorties and blue cables. I was pleased also that they seem to be interchangeable with red cables. **Q: Can they be used to make hats?** A: Yes, I’m using a 3” and a 2” tip right now, on a hat, because my two 4” tips were too tight fir the hat. Works like a dream **Q: Do these needle sizes come in the red shortie twist?** A: These are considered the small size needles. The red and the blue cables are made exactly the same. Thin steel cable covered by a vinyl coating. If you are looking for additional cables check Jimmy Beans. They carry several sizes of the blue cables including the 2” to turn your shorties into flexies! Their stock was low but should be replenished soon. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great needles - my favorite set *by L***G on January 25, 2026* This has quickly become my favorite set of knitting needles.
