...Addi needles for lace? I thought I saw a mention of it but can't find
it (that may of course be due to the migraine drugs). I ask because I
think I mentioned trying to make a scarf with some beautiful two-ply
cashmere laceweight that is slack-twisted enough that no matter what
needles I use, I either can't get the point into the stitch or the needle
splits the yarn at every stitch. Is there an Addi type of needle
especially for lace? Help! At this rate I'll die of old age before I
finish that scarf.


I see you got an answer about the Addi needles but I just wanted to mention
that I solved a similar problem last year by sharpening the points of bamboo
needles with sand paper.
