addi Turbos are perhaps the most recognized name in knitting needles. The slick, nickel-plated finish makes stitches glide, and the pliant, blue cord resists kinks and curls. The original Turbo tip is slightly blunter than the Lace or Rocket tips, which makes it ideal for working with yarns that have a tendency to split. The unusual, twenty inch length is the perfect intermediary when a sixteen inch is too small, yet a twenty-four inch is too large.
