addi Turbo needles are a game - changer for knitting! Their nickel coating allows your yarn to glide smoothly, speeding up your knitting projects and making the craft a real joy. With snag - free joins and flexible cords, it's no wonder they're a favorite among expert knitters. Note that some smaller needle sizes deviate from standard US sizing. For example, needles labeled Size US 1 (2.5mm) are actually Size US 1.5 (2.5mm), Size US 2 (3.0mm) are truly Size US 2.5 (3.0mm), and Size US 2.75mm are really Size US 2 (2.75mm). Also, the US 36 and US 50 needle tips are made of shiny plastic instead of metal.

Using your addi Turbo Circular Needles is a breeze. First, choose the right size needle for your project, keeping in mind the sizing quirks we mentioned. Then, start threading your yarn through the needle, and let the smooth nickel coating do its magic to make the yarn glide easily. When knitting, the snag - free joins and pliable cords will ensure a seamless experience. As for maintenance, simply wipe the needles with a dry cloth after each use to keep them in good condition. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the nickel coating. And be careful with the plastic tips of the US 36 and US 50 needles, as they can break if handled roughly.
