ChiaoGoo's newest Special Edition Forté 2.0 interchangeable knitting needle set, the Forté 2.0, includes tips that are an elegant combination of sleek stainless steel combined with Carbon Fibre or African Blackwood.

First released in 2022, Forté 2.0 represents a new version with improvements over the original set.

The set boasts the new SWIV360 interchangeable silver cables, which have the same properties as the much-loved red and blue TWIST cables, PLUS an added swivel feature! Knitters have been hoping for this for years. In addition to the SWIV cables, TWIST red cables are included for the small [S] sized tips. Each threaded steel join is laser etched with the tip diameter and join size, which will never wear off.

All Forté parts and pieces have [S] or [L] size joins, so they are compatible with all similarly coded interchangeable parts.

The ChiaoGoo Forté 2.0 interchangeable knitting needle case is 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. The Forte 2.0 set includes 14 pairs of 5" (13cm) tips as follows:  

US 2 (2.75mm), US 2.5 (3mm), US 3 (3.25mm), US 4 (3.5mm), US 5 (3.75mm), US 6 (4mm), US 7 (4.5mm), US 8 (5mm) - Carbon Fibre shaft with stainless steel tips and joins
