Chiaogoo RED cable for magic loop knitting

To knit using the magic loop technique, you need an extra long cable. Magic loop allows you to knit any number of stitches in the round without switching knitting cables or circular needles.
It is also great for knitting the two socks of a pair at the same time, thus avoiding the "second sock syndrome" (the sock that you are not motivated to cast on once the first sock is finished...) and also automatically creates 2 identical socks without counting the rows. Works with all kind of things you knit pairs of: socks, mittens, gloves, even sweater sleeves!

In order to do magic loop, you need a cable of at least 95 cm, 120 cm is preferable. Below that length your side loops tend to continually disappear between the stitches.
