How do you straighten out a red Chiagoo knitting cable? There’s a real kink in
it. Thanks in advance for any good tips.

Maybe try soaking the cable in hot water for a while and then pulling it straight. I think they’re different from regular plastic cables because they have steel wires inside, but it’s worth a try.

Thanks for your tip—I tried using boiling water, but unfortunately the kink didn't budge.

If you tie the kink tightly around the tips of your needles or something else firm and straight for a few days, it’ll straighten out a bit, but it definitely won’t go back to 100%—I’ve had that happen to me before, too.
