We've always been huge fans of the addi Lace circulars because of their super-pointy tips, which make them so great for detailed work like knitting multiple stitches together, knitting through the back loop of a stitch, and so on. These needles are big sellers for us, and many of our customers are as devoted to them as we are.
Lately, though, some of you have told us that you actually prefer the blunter tips and nickel-plated finish of the classic addi Turbo needles. We're listening, so guess what--we're now carrying the Turbo needles as well!
In addition, addi has just come out with a brand-new style of circular needle called Sock Rockets. These give you the best of both worlds--they have the pointy tips of the Lace needles, with the shiny nickel plating that makes the Turbos so speedy. Sock Rockets are available in sizes US 0-3, in two lengths: 40” (ideal for you Magic Loop-ers out there) and 24” (perfect for knitting in parallel pairs).
Let's take a look and compare the tips of these three needles styles:
For those of you who prefer bamboo circulars, of course we also still carry the addi Natura needles. They're by far the smoothest bamboo needles we've ever tried, and we know that many knitters with arthritis find them much more comfortable on the hands than metal needles.
With all these great options, you're sure to find an addi circular needle that is perfect for you and your particular knitting style.
