addi Knitting Needle Turbo Circular Skacel Blue Cord 24 inch (60cm) Size US 02 (3.0mm)

Love Addi Turbo knitting needles. I do a lot of intarsia knitting with wool but would not recommend for beginners as they can be slippery.

I have been knitting for decades, everything from socks, to sweaters to lace shawls and stoles. I have used all sorts of different knitting needles through the years from the cheapest plastic to the most expensive metals. I have used straight needles, circular needles and double pointed needles. Of all the needles I have used through the years, addi Turbo Circular needles are my favorites. I bought 2 of the 24 inch size 2 Addi Turbo knitting needles to knit the collar and placket of a sweater I recently finished for my son. WHAT IS IN THE BOX: One plastic storage baggie containing one double ended circular needle. The needles themselves are nickel plated brass while the cord is an extremely flexible plastic or nylon. The knitting needle ends are approximately 5” each while the entire circular needle is slightly less than 24”. I purchased the US 02 (3 mm), 24 inch size. WHAT I LIKE: These are the best knitting needles ever. I like them even more than I like the much more expensive Signature needles and definitely better than the less expensive ones. They last forever! I had a bunch of these sit in corrosive sea water for days (hurricane problems) and not show any wear! The joins (where the needle attaches to the cord) are exceptionally smooth and do not snag even fuzzy yarns. Loops of yarn easily glide across these needles making the knitting process much faster. I tend to grip my needles pretty tightly. Most other brands in size 2 bend under the pressure. I have never had this issue with Addi Turbo needles. The needles come in a zip lock baggie (packaging) that I can use to store my needles when not in use. The tips on these needles are not overly pointed so they don’t split my yarn. I have NEVER had a cable break on an Addi Turbo needle. When you are maneuvering hundreds of stitches around your needle, a broken cable can be devastating. I trust Addi Turbo needles! WHAT I DON’T LIKE: I like everything about these knitting needles. I truly believe they are the best on the market. PICTURES: I am including a picture of the needle in my hand for size reference as well as pictures of the sweater I used them to knit. I purchased 2 of the 24 inch size 2 Addi Turbo knitting needles at FULL PRICE. I highly recommend them.

I am a new knitter and had borrowed a friends other brand circular needles. OMG! These are way easier. Look no further!

Perfect!

Love this product. I have already knitted up 20 scarves in short order. Needles slide so effortlessly, they are a joy to work with.

Smooth so yarn never catches and cord is very soft and flexible
