The addi Rockets Needles are designed after the well - loved addi Turbo Lace. Their extra - pointy tips come with the same excellent nickel - plating as the classic addi Turbo, which gives them a smooth and fast knitting experience. The seamless connection between the needle and the cord allows the yarn to glide effortlessly, making your knitting not only easier but also much quicker! Initially, when these needles first hit the market, they were only available in smaller sizes and were known as Sock Rockets. Now, they come in a wider range of sizes and are simply called Rockets. You might still find some older packaging labeled as Sock Rockets, but rest assured, it's the same great product. Please note that in this line, needles usually labeled size US 1 (2.25mm) are actually US 1 (2.5mm), US 2 (2.75mm) are actually US 2 (3.0mm), and those typically labeled US 2.75mm are truly US 2 (2.75mm).

Using these addi Rockets Needles is a breeze. Just thread your yarn through the cord and start knitting as you normally would. The extra - pointy tips and smooth nickel - plating make it easy to pick up stitches. When you're done knitting, gently remove the yarn from the needles. To keep these needles in good shape, store them in a dry place away from moisture and sharp objects. Avoid bending the needles as this could affect their performance. If the needles get dirty, you can use a soft, dry cloth to wipe them clean. Remember, the size labeling in this line is a bit different, so always double - check the actual size as noted on the product.
