...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.

Yes they go up to size 6....I bought 4's and 5's at the LYS and
tried them with reg yarn and poked holes in my fingersG I have the
same problem with lace...can't get the needles in the stitches...I
tried with the new ones and they work really well.....price $15.95
and they have red cables and brass tips....they are very pointy.

I wish they came in the big needle sizes but 6 is as high as they go.
