Review on 🧢 Addi Rocket2 [Squared] 32 inch Circular Knitting Needles - US 0, 2mm by Shantel Griffin

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Hmm πŸ€” Burrs?

I've used pretty much every knitting needle ever made. Including vintage whalebone, vintage stainless steel round cords, momentarily accessible Susan Bates breaking points where you could loosen the point of a straight needle to make it sharp, medium, or blunt, and all kinds of fixed, interchangeable, and kind. These addi -Square needles Rocket2 are very good. The cables are nicely attached so they don't get caught on the yarn. The cables don't rotate, but that doesn't bother me. I love square knitting needles and mostly ordered them out of curiosity about the "combs". πŸ€” I still can't understand why combs are put on square knitting needles? I use them with Alchemy Silk Straw which is quite slippery. I started the sweater with Kollage Square Interchanges and switched to these Addi needles when they arrived. I don't see any benefits yet. I thought the lugs might help keep the slick, slippery yarn under control, but I don't see any difference between these and my other needles. That being said...Addi needles are wonderful, reliable, trouble free needles from a company that has been making needles since 1829. A square needle is very convenient, especially when you feel fatigue or discomfort in your hands while knitting. For many, including myself, a square needle helps keep stitches straight. I'll update this review when I find out what the benefit of combing is!πŸ˜„
