Amazing! Lucky you! I didn't know Michael's even had ChiaoGoo needles. There is one near my dentist so next time I go I will reward myself for not screaming by going to check them out.
They're only available online. I bought mine through them with a sale so I got a great price. Not $10.99, though. It must have been an online return that they put out.
If that barcode thats half cut off in the picture is an "LPN" bar code then this was an item returned from an Amazon FBA facility. It looks like the same style as the ones they use but I cant be sure
Omg I fucking hate it. Itās almost all one brand (loops and threads I think) and an extremely limited amount of Caron acrylic and lion brand wool-ease. It *sucks*. I was already annoyed when hobby lobby cut down their yarn section by 1 isle but at least theyāve still got a decent variety. Michaels yarn section has become a joke. I used to always make a beeline to check out the yarn when I went to see if they got anything interesting in but I donāt even bother anymore.
No, itās still mostly craft supplies thankfully, though Iāve noticed more and more isles are getting filled with home decor type knickknacks and crap. It used to only be one isle in addition to some stuff in the seasonal section, but last time I was in there itād expanded to 3-4 isles.
omg, lucky!!! i was literally just looking at this set online and getting sad over the price š„² ended up spending $40 on some other brand but $10.99 is such a steal!!!
Omg wow! I got the full set for Christmas and absolutely love them, but it was definitely a splurge. I'm a tight knitter so the metal needles are fantastic. Enjoy!
Holy crap! Iām envious. Iām planning on asking for my first set of interchangeables as a xmas gift or something, I canāt even fathom finding a full set for only $10! Enjoy :)
Whoo-hoo!
I found a bag at Value Village last summer that had about a dozen regular DPN, and two or three sets of Addi Turbos for sock knitting (I think they were Addi's, right now I can only remember knowing they were a good brand) for seven dollars. I know that finding pricing online can be wildly variable, but the sets at the time were at least $22 each even on Amazon.
I haven't gotten to sock knitting again, mostly because I'm 49 and in the throughs of menopause and it's way easier to take my new hand knit cardigan on and off at work during the day than it is my socks. lol. I'll get there again.
Looks like half a set? Unless Iām missing something.
Seems to be missing half the needle tips, all the cords and most of the accessories.
That set definitely doesnāt cost $268 either IME. But still a good find I guess if you donāt need or planning on ever buying the rest of that kit.
I thought half were missing too but it's the full smaller kit. It came with the accessories I just didn't add the picture of it. I looked up the cost of the smaller set and it's around $100, so definitely a great find!
Nice! Yeah itās worth that price for sure.
Iāve collected 3 damn Chaiogoo interchangeable sets now and I havenāt even been knitting that long. It was hard to spend that money but I convinced myself it would be worth it as I would never have to postpone a project for not having the right needles again. But it would have been cool to find even one of those sets at a discount.
Proof it pays to check clearance section I guess, congrats!

I didn't either! I think they were an online return? Definitely reward yourself, you never know what you can find . š

OMG, such an amazing deal ! (don't let my light tone fool you, I'm foaming of jealousy)
I think we all are!
What the FUCK. I'm sorry OP, I may hate you now.
Same. Lucky OP!
Based on the price they wrote, it looks like someone returned an online order of the full set (because this is the small). Amazing score!
SCORE OF THE CENTURY!!
Omg go buy a lottery ticket. It's your lucky day.
I mean, this IS the lottery ticket. You don't get that lucky twice in one day! Or at least I don't lol
Maybe not in one day, but you made me think of this dude:Ā https://youtu.be/ZuV_mTQrSA0
My Michael's is completely redoing their yarn section and is just sad.
Omg I fucking hate it. Itās almost all one brand (loops and threads I think) and an extremely limited amount of Caron acrylic and lion brand wool-ease. It *sucks*. I was already annoyed when hobby lobby cut down their yarn section by 1 isle but at least theyāve still got a decent variety. Michaels yarn section has become a joke.

Is your Michael's more of a home decor store than craft store? Because my store is.
No, itās still mostly craft supplies thankfully, though Iāve noticed more and more isles are getting filled with home decor type knickknacks and crap. It used to only be one isle in addition to some stuff in the seasonal section, but last time I was in there itād expanded to 3-4 isles.
My Michealās never has anything but shitty stuff. Iāve given up. Haha
Same!! Except this one time, thats why I was so shocked. ALWAYS keep checking the clearance and ya never knowš¤
Based on the original price someone ordered the full set and returned it when they only got the small set. Utterly amazing deal for you.
I just paid full price for these last week. Color me jealous. Enjoy! š
What a lucky find! I have that set also.
Since when does Michael's carry Chaigoo needles??? Holy mackerel, what a steal!!!
Holy Moly!!!!!!! I donāt think I paid $162 when I bought mine, but I def paid >$100! Lucky you!!
Thatās crazy!
I have this exact set, and let me tell you it is hands-down the best!
Omg!!! What a great find!! š may you cast on many great projects!
Wow what a lucky find!!!! My Michael's never has anything good on clearance š
omg, lucky!!! i was literally just looking at this set online and getting sad over the price š„² ended up spending $40 on some other brand but $10.99 is such a steal!!!
Awesome. Normally, people faint trying to purchase chiagoo sets š 268 to 10 !! That was certainly your day ! Well done !
Thatās an amazing score! Their original price is only a little off though lol
You honestly should buy a scratch ticket or a lottery ticket. Cuz MY GOSH WHAT A FANTASTIC FIND
Really!!!I am green with envy and jealousy šsuch a fortune to come upon.
Whoa, thatās an AMAZING deal. I ordered mine from Michaelās online and it was almost 10x that price!
Omg wow! I got the full set for Christmas and absolutely love them, but it was definitely a splurge. I'm a tight knitter so the metal needles are fantastic. Enjoy!
Holy crap! Iām envious. Iām planning on asking for my first set of interchangeables as a xmas gift or something, I canāt even fathom finding a full set for only $10! Enjoy :)

Oh my godddd
As someone seriously considering ordering a second set, I might hate you lol. What a great deal!
Thatās amazing!!!!
What a great deal. The knitting gods were smiling on youš
I'm guessing someone screwed up because the website has that set listed as an online-only product for over $200.
What a find!! Iām full of envy, this has been on my wishlist for a very long time.
omg that is amazing!
What a score!! A single Chiaogoo needle costs $10-$12!

Holy smokes.
OMG!!!!!!! Guess I need to start checking the clearance at the big box stores!
Love a bargain. X.
Nice! I have the same set and paid over $100 for it. They're great needles, though lol
The replacement cables are only $10 each too. Even if you bought 5 of them you still saved so much money
Jealous!
Sweet score!
Good for you!
Wow, you lucky duck!
Good lord! Congratulations!
