Do you love the flow of addi Turbos, but want a pointier lace knitting needle tip? Then addi Rockets are just right for you! The short Rocket set is perfect for 16 and 20 applications like hats and cowls and you get the click join you've come to love.
I pretty much am using this lace set for all of my projects now and I have not a single complaint. They are super smooth, pointy, easy to join and remove, haven't snagged and I think worth every bit of the price. They are not the brass finish like the regular Addi lace (thank goodness).
The quality of this set of interchangeable needles is excellent. I had no problems with snagging or tips coming loose. However, I found them to be uncomfortable to use because the needle length is so short.
I suppose this is the trade off when you have an interchangeable set that can go down to 16" circulars. I'll still use these, but I'd prefer to use circulars with a longer needle length for most projects.
I really like these interchangeables. The join is solid, and of course, I love Addi circulars anyway. The join does have a bit of a bump, which is annoying, but so far I haven't experienced any snagging. It's just a bit of an extra effort to slide the yarn up onto the needle.
I found that the lace clicks have the same poorly designed cables as the regular clicks. Where the cable enters the metal connector it snags my yarm. I tried 3 cables and they are all made the same. I've only used fingering weight yarn, but I already know that I will never use them for fine lace weight. I also wish I had read the full description and found that they are not the true lace tips as pictured with the brass tips that grip slippery yarn, but nickle plated.
I had my Addi Lace Interchangables on order since then first of July and they came in two days ago.
I have already knit with them several times. They are the same wonderful quality as all Addi knitting needles with the nickel plating.
They are easy to connect and they do not snag or drag on the connection point. I have knit with both worsted and lace weight yarns with them to test them out.
I love them and they were well worth the wait. The case is also lovely, the cables soft and pliable and there is an additional needle gauge included as well as the heart pin.
