addi Egg - Professional Little Knitting Machine with 6 Needles for i-Cords

I got this item and it works so much better with thicker yarns then the machine with metal hooks!!! I also have the 2 bigger Addi machine ( 22 and the King ) and it is very easy to use these once you get use to them. This works the same as a typical knitting machine which may have a learning curve but can be learnt off a Youtube video.If you are looking for a cord knitting machine this one works way better then any other I have tried, so speaking from lots of experience. IF you find this hard to use watch more videos to help. :)

I read too many bad reviews before finding a video on youtube for this (the Addi site also has a video). I believe there are too many people who are not actually following directions on how this little egg works. The yarn needs to be a smooth slippery type yarn (the pictures I posted were done in #4 Caron Simply Soft) - not a sticky wool or a yarn that splits easily- the weight MUST be on the yarn tail and not allowed to rest on a table - and after the cast on, the LID MUST BE ON for it to work correctly. If these things are done, and the weight is adjusted up as the i-cord grows, it truly works flawlessly. The three i-cords in the picture were made in under 15 minutes without any problems at all. Im thrilled I finally purchased this little gem! Happy cranking :)

No lo use llego dañado con las abujas quebradas

Je l’utilise en complément des mes deux addis

I am finding this very easy to use. So far I have only tried it with DK weight yarn.It dropped a few stitches at the beginning, but I pulled the tube back up and unpicked it back to the dropped stitches and then put the loops back onto the needles, then continued to knit, by turning the handle, and it was fine. It seems like its just a matter of keeping the tension correct on the yarn going into the egg, and the stitches will be fine.You must also give the handle a good shove in or it will keep falling out as you turn it, one good shove solves this.As this has 6 needles you get a wider i cord tube than most if the other french knitting type machines. I'm not sure what I will do with mine yet, but I have some ideas running around my head. For now I'm just happily turning out a long strand of i cord, because I can.
