This video shows you how to use a tightening key to create seamless and secure joins between your ChiaoGoo knitting needles and cables, as well as other accessories such as cable connectors, size adapters, and end stoppers.
I'm glad I found this video as the set I bought at a show from River City Knits had absolutely no instructions included so they've sat in a box for several years.
The instructions say to use a rubber grip, but there's no mention of that in the video. I use a wide elastic band and I've never had them come loose. Most people online who say theirs came loose also say they did not use a grip. ChiaoGoo should really include a grip with their sets and include that information in this video.
How do you prevent your needles from unscrewing themselves while in the middle of knitting a pattern. I paid quite a bit of money for the set and don't want to ruin the yarn that could potentially get snagged/split from the needle/cord.
My Smalls come unscrewed even though I use a gripper and tightening tool. So Frustrating! I checked to be sure it's not a counterfeit set but does have information on cord and needle and bought from reliable source. Please tell me what could be wrong.
I have 5” sets of ChiaoGoo interchangeables. My minis don’t come with tightening hole in the tips, just in the cable! Why???? My needles come unscrewed even if using the grip!
