addiClick Short Lace Review – Interchangeable Knitting Needles for Small Circular Projects
The addiClick Short Lace interchangeable knitting needle set is surprisingly versatile. At first glance, the 8.5cm tips look small, but once I began using them, I realised how perfectly they suit projects worked in the round. They feel compact and controlled, making them ideal for cowls, socks, hats and sleeves.
First Impressions – Compact and Precise
The nickel-free, bronze-plated brass tips are smooth and polished, with a sharp point that is perfect for lace and fine yarns. They slip into stitches cleanly without splitting, which is important when working with delicate fibres. Although the shorter tips take a little adjustment, after a few rows they felt natural and comfortable in my hands.
Why Knitters Love This Set
This set includes eight tip sizes, from 3.5mm to 8.0mm, covering most lace and accessory projects. With five addi cords ranging from 40cm to 100cm, there is plenty of flexibility for different styles of knitting. The connectors allow cords to be extended for larger pieces, and the addiClick system ensures that switching between tips and cords is quick, secure and snag-free.
Everyday Knitting Experience
The shorter tips shine in projects knitted in the round, where longer tips can feel awkward. Their sharp points make them excellent for lace knitting, particularly for precise decreases and yarn overs. The set also includes useful extras and comes in a compact fabric case that fits neatly into a project bag. It is tidy, portable and practical, making it a great everyday option.
Final Thoughts – Small but Powerful
The addiClick Short Lace set has quickly become my go-to for smaller circular projects and lacework. The shorter tips make knitting in the round comfortable, the sharp points bring accuracy to lace patterns, and the flexible cords allow easy adaptation for different projects. Compact, reliable and well designed, it is a set that earns its place in any knitting bag.
