Go-to staple
I have loved this yarn for years. It's my fave for felted projects, but also love it for all kinds of other knitting as well. Is a pleasure to knit with. Has a great hand, washes and wears well. Very sturdy, but still soft. Not to mention it comes in a bazillion great colors!

Pricey but worth it
After trying a couple of the Addi fixed lace circs, I decided to invest in the set. I prefer the longer tips to the standard size, which is too short for my preference. Comes in a lovely, well-padded case. I have only two issues with the set, for which I am giving them 4 stars instead of 5. First, I wish the long tip set had the brass-coated tips like the regular set does. I had contacted Skacel to ask why the difference, and they never really answered the question, just said one set is different from the other. the mbrass tips add a measure of control to the slick tips, withiut sacrificing glide. The second issue is that the connector piece to make two cables into one longer one is unusually long, which creates a long, awkward, inflexible segment in between the two cables. I can't fathom why the connector is designed this way, but I really think Addi should rethink and redesign it. All in all, however, I think it is a beautiful, precision-made set of tools for the knitter who can make the investment.
