ChiaoGoo Forte Interchangeable Set, 5" Complete
The Forte set includes tips that are an elegant combination of sleek stainless steel and luxurious Blackwood. The set also boasts ChiaoGoo's new SWIV360 interchangeable cables.
The Forte case is just as elegant and functional as the tips and cables. It includes a double-sided, removable needle board that firmly houses all tips; elastic that securely holds but gives easy access to accessories; and four pockets to hold the rest of your knitting supplies, including a spot for your pattern or notes. And, true to ChiaoGoo form, it opens book-style with a full zipper enclosure to ensure that nothing falls out.
The tips and cables work with other ChiaoGoo interchangeable parts - you will be able to use other ChiaoGoo Stainless Steel or Bamboo tips with the SWIV360 cables, and and other Twist or Spin cables with the Forte tips. Keep in mind that sizes 5.00mm and smaller are [S] gauge and 5.50mm and larger are [L] gauge as with all other ChiaoGoo sizes - so the [L] tips work with [L] cables, etc. You can use S/L adapters to make the [L] tips work with [S] cables.
