I was ready to toss a lace shawl I was knitting on my regular Addi Turbo circulars. The stitches kept slipping off my needles and I was having a terrible time trying to do the m1l, m1r, ssk and other stitches. I had knitted the pattern before without a problem but that was a softer, different yarn. This was so frustrating as I was dropping stitches again and again. Just as I was ready to call it a loss, I thought about the Addi Lace Needles and decided to give them a try. Perfect solution! I couldn't believe what a difference they made. I had avoided them because I push stitches with the tip of my finger and I thought the points would be too sharp for that. Not at all. I'm really sold on these for lace knitting with difficult yarn......and thanks for the speedy shipping JBW! |

I tried a number of needles while knitting a mesh shawl....these were the ones that finally made it an enjoyable experience....they’re smooth, the points are great for lace work, and the light color makes it easy to see dark yarns while knitting. |

Because I needed sz 1 needles😲 I needed something other than my Knitters Pride ICs. I used to love Addis but regular ones are not sharp enough. I bought a set of Addi lace needles. Because they are brass and not nickel plated they have just enough grab and the points are nice and sharp but not so sharp as to be able to wound you. They are also a little longer tips. I will probably start buying the addi fixed lace for my more complex lace projects because they work so well on more complex stitches. I wish companies could make IC needles in the much smaller sizes but understand why it’s not practical. So for my less complex lace in larger sizes I’ll still use my knitters Pride but for smaller sizes with stitches like nupps it’s Addi lace circus all the way. They’re great. |

I have always used interchangeable needles but they’re pretty impossible to find in size one. After some research and help from JB staff I bought these. I’m so glad. The points have just the tiniest bit of grab, which is good on so fine a needle. The rest of the tip is fast and there are no issues with the joins or memory on the cord. For my bigger needle project I’ll probably go back to KP Dreamz, but for finer tips I love the Addi Lace. PS I’ve tried the Chiagoo lace needles but the tips are a bit long, not to mention too sharp. |

The yarn slides easily around the needles. No snags, very smooth. Fast shipping and product exactly as described. |

I love these needles. The points, the slightly textured finish and the quality are superb. |
