Haven’t invested in interchangeables yet. I’m a bit worried since I loose things way too often! But I love my chaigoo fixed! I just add a size/length as needed for new projects
I recently broke two mindful cables. Snapped right at the join. I assume it was my fault but switched brands to Lykke anyway - stiffer but more substantial. They so far get my engineering approval but they curl all over the place.
Mindful cable is the only one I've had suddenly snap off at the join while knitting , I was taken by surprise , had no pre-warning. Broken end had steel plies, definitely not a single , but can't say if it is braided inside or not, I just tossed it unfortunately
Oof, that's not a pleasant surprise. Thanks for sharing the info though!! I'm wondering if it isn't just a smaller gauge braided cable, because my brain can't accept warping and bending with what I know both of braided steel in general and the other two cables in specific

That is exactly what I was going to say!😂 I almost have every size I could ever need….
Honestly. My favorite circulars are my old fixed cables, not my newer interchangeables. I have full sets of 4 different brands. Still prefer no joins!

Not good to know , but only that I am not the only one that had this happen .

Wait - if this #2, was there a Showdown #1? I missed it!!
She did one comparing cords called Stainless Core Cord Showdown - Chiaogoo vs Lantern Moon
