ADDI Mystic Lace Circular Needles Review – Mystical Beauty Meets Technical Brilliance
The ADDI Mystic Lace fixed circular needles transform knitting from a routine task into a magical experience. With their shimmering finish, velvety surface and precise lace tips, they combine beauty with functionality in a way that makes every project more enjoyable.
A Feast for the Eyes
The colour-shifting finish moves between violet and bronze tones, creating a stunning effect that highlights stitches against lighter yarns. This practical beauty makes counting and tracking stitches easier, particularly for lace and colourwork projects. The visual appeal never diminishes, turning knitting sessions into something special.
The Best of Both Worlds
The velvety anodised finish balances the glide of metal with the grip of wood. Aluminium construction ensures durability and precision, while the quick-warming surface provides comfort similar to wooden needles. For knitters who want both accuracy and warmth, these needles offer the perfect compromise.
Tailored for Loose Knitters
The matte surface helps maintain consistent tension by providing controlled grip without slowing yarn movement. This makes them particularly effective for slippery fibres like silk, bamboo and mercerised cotton. For loose knitters, the added control is a real advantage in achieving even stitch definition.
Lace Work Perfection
The ultra-fine lace tips excel in precision. They make decreases, yarn overs and intricate stitch manipulations feel effortless, while maintaining sharpness over time. Whether knitting delicate shawls or tackling complex cable work, the tips glide through stitches with accuracy and ease.
Comfortable for Extended Sessions
The quick-warming aluminium and smooth finish reduce fatigue during long knitting sessions. Stability and resistance to bending provide further comfort, especially when working with tighter or heavier projects. These needles feel substantial, reliable and easy on the hands, even over a full weekend of knitting.
Versatility Across Projects
The Mystic Lace circulars adapt well to a variety of projects:
- Lace shawls and wraps with precise stitch control
- Fine-gauge jumpers and baby garments
- Magic loop sock knitting on longer cables
- Intricate colourwork with excellent stitch visibility
Available Lengths
Available in lengths from 60cm to 150cm, there is a perfect size for every circular project. Longer cables remain supple and tangle-free, even on large shawls and blankets, making them versatile for both small and expansive knitting projects.
Durability That Impresses
Months of regular use show no wear on the shimmering finish or lace tips. The anodised aluminium construction ensures long-lasting sharpness and reliability. These needles are designed for years of consistent performance.
