Rocket Through Your Lace addi Click Lace tips are part of the fabulous addi Click interchangeable system. While you might expect the lace tips to be analogous to the Lace needles with the sharp tips and the brass coating, they are actually modeled after the Rocket line, meaning that they have the sharp tips and the nickel plating. The Click Lace tips are also the only tips in the Click system to be available in long and short lengths. The short tips are necessary for creating short circulars of 16" and 20" lengths. Both the short and long set come with eight sizes of needle tips, US 4 (3.5mm), US 5 (3.75mm), US 6 (4mm), US 7 (4.5mm), US 8...

Let's Twist Again! Continuing our round-up of interchangeable knitting needle sets, we have ChiaoGoo's stainless steel line - Twist. Stainless steel needles are highly durable and virtually hypoallergenic. They are also slick and smooth for excellent glide. Remember that all the parts and accessories discussed today are fully compatible with the "Spin" set we highlighted last week. The tips on the Twist needles are comparable to ChiaoGoo's sharper, "Lace" line of fixed-length circulars. That makes these needles ideal for fine stitch manipulation.

Nobody Does Bamboo Like ChiaoGoo Next up let's talk about ChiaoGoo's bamboo needles. ChiaoGoo makes some of the most popular bamboo needles on the market right now. The tips are made from Moso bamboo, one of the strongest bamboo species in the world.
