Collection: ChiaoGoo

The ChiaoGoo brand is a family-owned business that was first established in 1980 by four brothers whose grandfather was a bamboo craftsman in Linan, "The bamboo capital of China". 

Demand for the knitting needles originated with the mother, an excellent knitter who would knit in order to keep her family warm during the long, cold winters. She would often knit extra items and sell them to neighbors and friends to make extra money for her family of seven. She was the needle “tester” and frequently asked for special needles to meet her needs. She is the inspiration for the ChiaoGoo brand name, which means “highly skillful and crafty lady”.

In the 1990’s, the family decided to expand the product line and its production capacity in order to prepare for overseas distribution. We are proud to be an authorised supplier of ChiaoGoo accessories in Australia as we have found them to be of an extremely high quality and with great customer service and support as well.

ChiaoGoo are the brand we use ourselves and we highly recommend them to you.
