Description
SPIN cables are ChiaoGoo's clear nylon interchangeable knitting needle cables. The nylon is pliable, and the tips swivel freely on the cable. ChiaoGoo has discontinued these cables, and the Large [L] lengths on this listing are the ones still available.
Each package holds one cable and one T-shaped tightening key. The metal join at each end of the cable has a small hole. The key goes through that hole to tighten a tip, and you can thread a lifeline through the same hole.
Lengths
These Large [L] cables come in six lengths: 8-inch (20 cm), 14-inch (35 cm), 22-inch (55 cm), 30-inch (75 cm), 37-inch (93 cm), and 50-inch (125 cm). The length on the label is the cable alone. The tips add to it.
With 5-inch tips
Two 5-inch (13 cm) tips add approximately 10 inches (26 cm) to the cable length.

Tips That Fit
Large [L] cables fit ChiaoGoo interchangeable tips with the Large [L] join. The sizes with that join depend on the tip length:
| Tip length | Sizes with the Large [L] join |
|---|---|
| 4-inch and 5-inch tips | US-9 (5.5 mm) through US-15 (10 mm) |
| 3-inch tips | US-9 (5.5 mm) through US-11 (8 mm) |
SPIN bamboo, TWIST Lace, QUADS, and FORTÉ tips with the Large [L] join all fit these cables, and so do T-SPIN Tunisian hooks in US-I (5.5 mm) through US-N (10 mm). Find them in the ChiaoGoo Interchangeable Tips & Hooks collection.

Questions About These Cables
Has ChiaoGoo discontinued these cables?
Yes. ChiaoGoo has discontinued its clear nylon SPIN cables. The lengths on this listing are the ones still available. Silver SWIV360 Large cables are the swivel cables in ChiaoGoo's SPIN bamboo sets now, and they fit the same tips.
Do these cables swivel?
Yes. The tips swivel freely on a SPIN nylon cable. A swivel lets the cable turn independently of the tips, so the cable does not twist as you knit. Red TWIST Large cables have fixed joins.
Do the tips come loose while knitting?
They can if they are only finger-tight. Tighten each tip with the tightening key through the hole at the cable's join every time you attach it. The guide to keeping your ChiaoGoo tips secure shows each step.
What do cable connectors and end stoppers do?
A Large [L] cable connector joins two Large [L] cables into one longer cable. Large [L] end stoppers screw onto the cable ends and turn the cable into a stitch holder, so you can use the tips on another project.
