Inspired by the well - loved addi Turbo Lace, the addi Rockets needles come with super - pointy tips. These tips are nickel - plated, just like the classic addi Turbo, giving your knitting a great zip. The seamless connection between the needle and the cord allows the yarn to glide smoothly, making knitting faster and easier! Initially, when addi Rockets were launched, they were only available in smaller sizes and known as Sock Rockets. Now, they come in a wider range of sizes and are simply called Rockets. Some old packaging may still say Sock Rocket, but they are the same high - quality product. Note: In this line, needles usually labeled size US 1 (2.25mm) are actually US 1 (2.5mm), size US 2 (2.75mm) are actually US 2 (3.0mm), and size US 2.75mm are actually US 2 (2.75mm).

Using the addi Rockets needles is easy. Start by choosing the right size for your project from the available US sizes 11 - 16. Thread your yarn through the smooth - joined cord and onto the needle. The extra - pointy tips make it simple to pick up stitches. As you knit, enjoy the smooth glide of the yarn. When it comes to maintenance, keep the needles clean and dry. You can use a soft cloth to wipe them down after use. Avoid using harsh chemicals that could damage the nickel - plating. And remember, the size labels in this line are a bit different, so double - check the actual sizes mentioned to ensure your project turns out as expected.
