ADDI UPDATES

In case you haven't heard, the wonderful needle-makers over at Addi have two exciting updates for us all. First, we now have in stock the brand new Addi Turbo sizes US 00 (1.75mm), 0.5 (2.25mm), and 1.5 (2.75mm) AND Addi Lace sizes US 000 (1.5mm), 0 (2.0mm), 0.5 (2.25mm), and 1.5 (2.75mm).

Even more heart-flutter-inducing, in mid-October, Addi will be releasing its brand new Addi Click interchangeable system! The Addi Click system provides 10 different sizes of Addi Turbo tips (US 4 - US 15), three different lengths of the new, extremely pliable blue cord (24", 32" and 40"), and one connector piece which helps to either store stitches or combine your cords. Only a limited supply will be available in the first shipment, so we are now taking preorders.
