ChiaoGoo SPIN cables are high-quality, flexible cables designed for knitters who prefer a smooth, lightweight feel. Made from clear nylon, these cables offer a completely different knitting experience by allowing your stitches to move with absolute freedom.
While pure nylon cables traditionally have a reputation for retaining their coiled shape ("memory") when stored, ChiaoGoo has brilliantly solved this with their innovative design.
Key features of ChiaoGoo SPIN cables include:
Swivel Joint Technology: Features a unique swivel mechanism that allows the joint to rotate 360 degrees independently of the cable, completely preventing twisting, tangling, or buckling as you knit.
Smooth Surface: The clear, pure nylon construction provides an exceptionally smooth, snag-free surface, allowing your yarn to glide effortlessly from cable to needle.
Flexibility: These lightweight cables are highly flexible, making them incredibly comfortable to hold and easy to manipulate across various techniques.
Compatibility: SPIN cables are available with both Small [S] and Large [L] connectors, making them fully compatible with your existing ChiaoGoo interchangeable needle tips.
Length Variety: Available in a wide range of lengths from 8” (20cm) to 50” (125cm), catering to everything from small-circumference socks to massive, heavy blankets.

Compatibility: While these clear nylon cables are the perfect match for ChiaoGoo SPIN Bamboo interchangeable tips, they feature the exact same connection system as the TWIST range. This means they are fully compatible with any ChiaoGoo interchangeable needle tip of the matching connector size (Small [S] or Large [L]).
Top Tip for Nylon Cables: Because nylon can occasionally hold a slight curl after being coiled up, we find it’s best to store them flat or hanging in an organiser. If yours ever needs a quick refresh, just dip the cable into warm water for a moment and smooth it out—it should straighten up.
Whether you are magic-looping a delicate project or working on a classic jumper, ChiaoGoo SPIN cables offer fluid movement, reliability, and an effortless knitting experience.
Connector Size: The size of needle determines the cable connector size:
| Small | Large | |
|---|---|---|
| 3" Tips | 3.5 - 5mm | 5.5 - 10mm |
| 4" Tips | 2.75 - 5mm | 5.5 - 10mm |
| 5" Tips | 2.75 - 5mm | 5.5 - 10mm |
Note: lengths stated are the actual length of the cable on its own. The full circular length is achieved when needle tips are joined with the cable and it is measured from tip-to-tip.
