The ChiaoGoo Forte 1.0 is the original, first-edition interchangeable needle set from ChiaoGoo — a rare and no longer produced collection that has become a true raritet among knitters and collectors.

Unlike the later Forte 2.0 model, this early edition features all-wood needle tips, offering the warm, natural feel that only genuine wood can provide.

Set includes: 14 pairs of 5" (13cm) tips in sizes US2 -15 (2.75mm - 10mm), including US2.5 (3mm):
US2 - 15 tips are made of stainless steel and blackwood

Six silver, memory-free, multi-strand steel SWIV360 cables:
Two 14" (35cm) - one each [S] & [L] (to make 24'/60cm circulars)
Two 22' (55cm) - one each [S] & [L] (to make 32"/80cm circulars)
Two 30" (75cm) - one each [S] & [L] (to make 40"/100cm circulars)

Three [S] red TWIST, memory-free, multi-strand steel cables (14"/35cm, 22"/55cm & 30"/75cm)

Accessories: stainless steel scissors, four end stoppers, 20 stitch markers, measuring tape, two tightening keys, four cable connectors, one heart-shaped gripper, two darning needles, two [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 four pockets to hold the rest of your knitting supplies including a pattern or notes
