Addi 丸針 60cm 3.00mm - 1本

I really like these needles and so happy that Skacel has finally come up with these needles. I really liked the old addi needles but the points were dull and hard to pick stitches on thinner yarns while knitting socks and such. Then they came with the lace needles that were pointier but then material would get a dark coat on metal part and stitches would not slide as nicely as in original addi. These are perfect as they mix the pointy design of the lace needles with smooth feel of the yarn on the original addi needles. I say it's perfect combination. A trick I learned on lace needles, you can clean the gunk on the metal part by rubbing toothpaste on them and then wipe them clean.

I have a susan bates knit check, metal flat that lets you check needles size/ stitching gauge. The size 2 (3mm) Addi needles I got don't fit int the size 2 hole, they fit in the size 3 hole. The package says US 2, and the stamp on the cable says US 2. I've never had this happen before, is it common? All my other needles (Addi and others) fit in the holes with some spare space. The cords are nice and pliable, this is my 4th Addi circular purchase, I'll keep it but I'm surprised. It seems to be the same size as my Karbonz US size 2.5 DP needle.

I use my addi circular needles like these when I don't need to switch out the needles for a different size in the project. The needles are smooth and the cord is flexible. Seller sent the new set fast and well packaged.

I had forgotten how nice it is to knit with "excellent" needles. I haven't bought needles for a LONG time so I don't really know what a "good value" would be. However, I love these and would gladly pay another $11.00 for a second pair.

The only thing I didn’t like was the tips. They could have been a tad pointier. Overall I loved them.
