Addi Rockets are nickel-plated circular needles with a sharp tip and a smooth and slick coating.  They are the ideal needles for a knitter who wants to increase knitting speed, is working on a project where a sharp tip is useful, or is knitting with a sticky yarn. The Addi cable is flexible and does not kink which makes it ideal for magic loop! Cameron likes these needles for most everything except lace-weight mohair projects or intricate lace patterns. Tracy finds that Rockets make knitting with sticky, rustic wool a more enjoyable experience.
