What does Addi have to offer?

addiCraSyTrios

AddiCrasyTrio, a set of three needles with a flexible middle part

The addiCraSyTrio needles are a unique and innovative design, comprised of a set of three double-pointed needles with a flexible middle cable. This pliability allows the needles to adapt to any hand, providing unparalleled comfort and control while knitting. The design allows you to knit in the round with ease, requiring only two needle changes per round. This means less time spent switching needles and more time focused on your knitting project.

Whether you're working on socks, gloves, sleeves, hats, or other small circumference projects, the addiCraSyTrio needles are the perfect companion. The shorter needles are ideal for projects such as baby clothes, gloves, or socks. On the other hand, the longer needles are comfortable for knitting larger rounds like sleeves, turtlenecks, or hats.
