addiClick Novel Lace Short Tip Review – Interchangeable Knitting Needles with Ergonomic Square Tips
The addiClick Novel Lace Short Tip set is a kit that can genuinely change the way you knit. When I first tried the square-tipped needles, I was sceptical, as most of us are so accustomed to round tips. The difference became clear within the first few rows. The squared edges sit comfortably in the fingers, encouraging a relaxed grip, while the lightly textured surface keeps stitches moving smoothly without slipping too quickly.
First Impressions – Compact and Ergonomic
The 8.5cm tips are shorter than standard needles, making them especially useful for projects knitted in the round. They are excellent for cowls, sleeves and hats where longer tips may feel awkward. Made from nickel-free plated brass, the pointed lace tips slide cleanly into fine stitches, which is ideal for lacework and delicate yarns. Despite their shorter length, they feel stable and controlled in use.
Why Knitters Love This Set
This set includes eight tip sizes, from 3.5mm to 8.0mm, along with five red addi-SOS cords in lengths of 40cm to 100cm. The cords double as lifelines, which is a valuable feature when working on complex lace charts. The addiClick system allows fast and seamless switching between tips and cords, and once connected, the joins remain secure and snag-free. This reliability adds confidence when working on delicate or intricate projects.
Everyday Knitting Experience
The included accessories add to the practicality of the kit, while the compact fabric case keeps everything neatly stored and portable. I have taken this set on the go several times and found it reassuring to have a complete range of tips and cords without carrying multiple separate needle sets.
Final Thoughts – Comfort Meets Innovation
The addiClick Novel Lace Short Tip set has become a favourite for smaller projects where comfort and precision matter. The ergonomic square tips help reduce hand fatigue, the pointed ends provide accuracy for lacework, and the variety of cords makes the set highly versatile. It is a thoughtful combination of comfort, innovation and practicality in one compact case.
