Although these are truly excellent needles, they may not be best for tight knitters. Even though the connections are very smooth, my yarn tends to catch around them slightly when I scoot it from one needle to the next. The needles are so good, though, that I'm trying to loosen my tension and create a larger gauge. If you're not a tight knitter, you won't have this problem. I intend to keep and use these needles, but for me and my knitting style, the non-interchangeable Addi's are better because they're absolutely seamless where the cord and the needles meet. Read more

I was so excited to open the package and when I opened the package and it was torn like this. I didn’t know if it was used before and sold as new and it was charged as a new item :( Read more

I bought this set of needles six years ago and they're still going strong. I was a beginner when I purchased them but had decided if I was going to continue knitting I was going to do so with a good set of needles. These have never disappointed me and still look like new. I've made blankets, hats, sweaters, doll clothes, scarves, and more with these and have never had a problem with them or the cords coming loose. I did notice recently that one of my cords was kinking up so I have replaced that. The needles are still bright and shiny and I've had no problems with tarnishing. The needles are also strong enough that you don't need to worry about them bending or becoming warped. I've just ordered my third set of Addi needles. This time I ordered the Turbo Basics because they offer different sizes and the tips are blunter. I also ordered these last year for my daughter's Christmas present and she loves them. I'll still use the lace tips for finer yarns and lace knitting. If you're having difficulty getting the cords to lock into the tips try using a gripping pad. Just push the cords in as far as they will go and then twist them slightly clock wise. You'll feel the click. Then tug on them a few times. I do it this way and have never had a cord detach from my needle. They even stayed secure when I was knitting a heavy blanket using bulky yarn. If you can't decide if you want to spend this much on knitting needles, but love knitting, buy these. They last for years and you won't be sorry. Read more

After reading numerous reviews for this set, I knew I wanted them. The price was really out of my budget though. I shopped around but found that this was the best price. When I received my package and opened the addi box, I was instantly surprised. The pink case that the needles come in looks EXACTLY as pictured with flawless precision. My box even included a card with the name of the addi employee that packaged my set! It comes with easy to understand instructions, although the click connectors are easy to figure out and hold securely. The case is spacious enough to hold everything that comes with the set in an extremely organized fashion. However, you can add a few extra items and take this on-the-go without it being bulky. I picked this set, out of the other addi sets, because of the lace long tip design. I like having needle tips that are sharper, rather than blunt. Love it!!!! I can't believe I've wasted so much money on cheap needles in the past. I could've put my money towards this set instead!! Although the price is a bit much for someone on a budget, you will not regret your purchase. This set definitely shows that addi cares about the craftsmanship of their products and they will last for many years to come. Read more
