The addi Rockets Needles are designed after the well - loved addi Turbo Lace. Their extra - pointy tips are nickel - plated, just like the classic addi Turbo, giving your knitting an amazing speed. The seamless connection between the needle and the cord allows the yarn to glide smoothly, making knitting both easier and faster! When they first hit the market, these needles were only available in smaller sizes and were called Sock Rockets. Now, they come in a wider range of sizes and are simply known as Rockets. You might still find some old packaging labeled as Sock Rocket, but they're the same great product. Note that in this line, needles usually labeled US 1 (2.25mm) are actually US 1 (2.5mm), US 2 (2.75mm) are US 2 (3.0mm), and US 2.75mm are US 2 (2.75mm).

Using these addi Rockets needles is a breeze. Just thread your yarn through the smooth - joined cord and start knitting as you normally would. The extra - pointy tips make it easy to pick up stitches. When it comes to maintenance, keep them clean and dry. After use, simply wipe them with a soft cloth. Avoid exposing them to extreme heat or moisture as this may damage the nickel - plating. As for the sizing, remember the special conversions in this line: what's usually labeled US 1 (2.25mm) is US 1 (2.5mm), US 2 (2.75mm) is US 2 (3.0mm), and US 2.75mm is US 2 (2.75mm). Happy knitting!
