Inspired by the well - loved addi Turbo Lace, addi Rockets needles come with super - pointy tips coated in the same excellent nickel - plating as the classic addi Turbo, which offers an unbeatable smoothness for knitting. The seamless connection between the needle and the cord allows your yarn to glide effortlessly, making your knitting experience faster and easier! When addi Rockets first launched, they were only available in smaller sizes and were named Sock Rockets. Now, we have a broader range of sizes, and they're simply called Rockets. You might still find some older packaging labeled Sock Rocket, but rest assured, it's the same high - quality product! Please 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 these addi Rockets knitting needles is a breeze. Start by threading your yarn through the smooth - joined cord and onto the needle. The extra - pointy tips make it easy to pick up stitches. When knitting, the nickel - plated surface helps the yarn glide smoothly along the needle. As for maintenance, keep the needles dry and clean. You can wipe them gently with a soft cloth if they get dirty. Remember the special sizing details in this line: US 1 labeled as 2.25mm is actually 2.5mm, US 2 labeled as 2.75mm is actually 3.0mm, and what's labeled as US 2.75mm is really US 2 (2.75mm). Enjoy your knitting with these great needles!
