are the shorter and longer tips interchangeable
if I bought a set of 3.75″ and wanted to buy some sizes of the 4.5″ tips could I use them with the cables in the short set?
Hi Amy. Yes you can use the 4.5″ long tips with the cables in the short tips set. Happy Knitting!
I need to replace #5 (3.75) tulip carry c long interchangeable needles
Is it possible to get a replacement
Hi Robyn. Thanks so much for getting in touch. I will do some investigating and get back to you. Cheers Jodie
Hi Robyn. I’ve been in touch with the Tulip company in Japan. They suggested that you ask the store where you purchased your Tulip needles to see if they can order in a replacement. These are the details given by Tulip – The article number of CarryC Long Interchangeable Bamboo Knitting Needles US#5 (3.75mm) is “TP1247”. I’ve researched online to see if any online stores offer replacements but no luck yet. I’ll let you know if I do. Cheers Jodie
Hi Jodie. How do you like the cords on the Tulip CaryCLong? I have a ChiaoGoo bamboo set and the cords feel flimsy.
Hi Taura. The Tulip Carry C Long cords are just your standard clear plastic cord. It’s unlikely that they will kink because of the unique way the needle tip swivels independently of the cable. Cheers Jodie
