ChiaoGoo SWIV360 Cables are flexible, memory-free interchangeable knitting needle cables designed to make knitting smoother and more comfortable. Featuring an innovative 360-degree swivel connection, these clever cables allow your knitting needle tips to rotate freely, helping to prevent twisting and tangling as you knit. This is especially useful if you are using Chiaogoo Quads interchangeable knitting needle tips.

Made with a multi-strand steel cable coated in smooth nylon, ChiaoGoo SWIV360 cables offer the flexibility and durability knitters love from ChiaoGoo, with the added benefit of a rotating connection.

Perfect for knitting in the round, magic loop knitting, socks, sleeves, hats and sweaters, these interchangeable cables are a lovely choice for knitters who want their cables to move naturally with their work.

Why choose ChiaoGoo SWIV360 Cables?

The standout feature of ChiaoGoo SWIV360 interchangeable cables is the swivel mechanism, which allows the needle tips to rotate independently of the cable. This helps reduce twisting and makes them particularly useful for projects where your needles are constantly moving.

Their flexible, memory-free construction means the cables resist curling and coiling, making them comfortable to work with and easy to manage. They are super lightweight and more flexible than the original Chiaogoo Twist red cables.

What is the difference between ChiaoGoo SWIV360 and TWIST Red Cables?

Both ChiaoGoo SWIV360 and TWIST Red Cables are designed for ChiaoGoo interchangeable knitting needles, but they have two important differences.

ChiaoGoo SWIV360 Cables feature a rotating connection that allows your needle tips to swivel as you knit, helping to reduce twisting. They are lighter and more flexible than the original Chiaogoo Twist red cables. 

ChiaoGoo TWIST Red Cables have a fixed connection and are known for their smooth, flexible, memory-free construction. They are slightly thicker and more robust than the Chiaogoo SWIV360.

If you find your knitting needle cables twist as you work, particularly when knitting in the round, or you are using Chiaogoo Quads, SWIV360 cables may be a useful alternative.

Are ChiaoGoo SWIV360 Cables compatible with ChiaoGoo interchangeable needles?

Yes. ChiaoGoo SWIV360 cables are designed for use with all ChiaoGoo interchangeable knitting needle tips and Chiaogoo accessories. 

It's important to choose the correct cable connection size for your needle tips, as ChiaoGoo interchangeable needles use different join sizes.

Are ChiaoGoo SWIV360 Cables good for magic loop knitting?

Yes! They are the best option for magic loop knitting. Their flexible construction and rotating connections make ChiaoGoo SWIV360 cables a great option for magic loop, particularly for socks, sleeves and other small-circumference projects.

The swivel mechanism helps reduce cable twisting as you move stitches around your needles, making longer knitting sessions more comfortable.
