Finding the best interchangeable knitting needles can be tricky. This video tries to take a close look at the stainless steel interchangeable needles from the Chinese company ChiaoGoo and the Indian company Knitter's Pride - specifically their so-called Mindful collection.
Throughout the video, I try to highlight all the minor little details as both circular needle sets are very similar and you will be hard-pressed to find meaningful differences.
I included close-up macro shots of the tips, the joins, the cables, and the body of the needles and also did some research on the production quality and origin. Enjoy!
