ChiaoGoo

Westing Bridge LLC is a family-owned business established by four brothers, with its ChiaoGoo brand of knitting and crochet tools designed and distributed from Troy, Michigan, and manufactured in Hangzhou, China. The family originates from Linan, China, known as the “Bamboo Capital,” where their grandfather and father were bamboo craftsmen. The father started a bamboo workshop in the 1980s, producing household goods, primarily bamboo knitting needles inspired by their skilled knitting mother—also the namesake for the ChiaoGoo brand, which means “highly skillful and crafty lady.”

In the 1990s, the family expanded for international distribution. By 2005, they formalized the manufacturing in China under Hangzhou Westing Bridge LLC and established Westing Bridge LLC in the U.S. for global marketing. Today, ChiaoGoo is a globally respected brand, known for high-quality knitting and crochet tools.
