addi Rockets join the best of two worlds: the smooth, nickel-plated finish from addi Turbos, and the sharper tips from addi Lace. The result is a smooth-handling needle that is perfect for intricate stitch work. The size and length are printed on the flexible, blue cable. The longer, forty-seven inch length is perfect for shawls, edgings, and other projects where a lot of stitches need to be on the needle at the same time.
