Addi circular needles come in 3 different tip styles. The original Turbo features a standard tip and slick, nickel-plated turbo finish. The Lace features a long taper and sharper tip with a treated brass finish. The Rockets combines the long taper and sharp tip of the Lace with the slick nickel-plated finish of the original Turbo.
Most knitters develop a preference for needle tips over time. Turbo tips are nickel-plated and ideal for speed. Lace tips are generally best for precision knitting, such as complex lace patterns. Rockets are ideal for both speed and precision, and can be useful with yarns that tend to split.
Knitting needles come in wood, bamboo, or metal. They can be straight or double points (DPN). Circular needles come in different cable lengths. And there are also interchangeable sets.
