The philosophy of the brand is reduction to the essential -
beauty through natural simplicity. Raw materials of the highest
quality are combined with a clear and functional
design....
The result are precisely manufactured and thoughtfully designed
products that open up a new dimension in knitting pleasure. The
foundation stone for the company was laid by grandfother Zheng more
than 100 years ago in Linon, the Chinese bamboo center. His son
followed the family tradition and in the early 1980s opened a
manufacturing facility specializing in the production of bamboo
knitting needles. A decisive role in the success of the brand was
played by his wife. The passionate knitter is the founder of
ChiaoGoo's vision, to create
the perfect tool for knitters and crocheters. lnspired by her, the
company got the name ChiaoGoo, which means "talented and smart
Iady" and at the same time can be understood as a tribute to oll
manual workers.
Today grandfother Zheng's grandchildren successfully continue
the family business. They are also from Linon. The region is world
famous because of its largest and strongest bamboo - the Moso
bamboo. The special quality of this bamboo is one of the secrets of
the ChiaoGoo bamboo
needles.
ln addition to bamboo as a traditional source of the company,
ChiaoGoo uses premium-quality
regional natural woods from sustainable c ultivation like rubber
wood a nd birch. However ChiaoGoo is meanwhile most popular for its
partic ulary high-quality stainless steel. The needles made of this
special stainless steel are manufactured using state-of-the-art
technologies in numerous elaborate steps and arealso suitable for
particularly sensitive hands.
All needles are ideally balanced, very lig ht and
application-optimized. They ha ve seamless transitions and
perfectly shaped tips for a perfect stitch pattern.
