addiUnicorn - for magical knitting moments
Knitting is not only a craft, but also art form that combines creativity and passion. If you pursue this passion, you know how important high-quality and comfortable knitting needles are to have a joyful knitting experience and achieve a first-class result.
In this story we would like to introduce you to the fabulous addiUnicorn knitting needles, which not only convince with their quality, but also with a pinch of pink magic.
The story of addiUnicorn needles
The "ear to the customer" is a very important issue at addi. Working in partnership with customers and suppliers is part of addi's mission statement. And this is where ideas and developments come from.
That's exactly how the addiUnicorn circular knitting needles came into being. The first addiUnicorn was born in 2022. A customer approached us with an idea for the surface of the addi knitting needle tips. After we had already successfully launched the addiNovel needle on the needlework market in 2019, we took up the new idea and started the first trials.

After we had already successfully launched the addiNovel needle on the needlework market in 2019, we took up the new idea and started the first trials.
It was not that easy, there were many failed attempts and the idea had to be modified and developed further. Since giving up was not an option, with the luck of the brave and the modification of the design, we found a way to produce the tips.
Suddenly they looked like the horn of a unicorn. And then the rest happened on its own. It was clear to everyone that a bright rope color was needed and the packaging had to be appropriately fancy. So the Unicorn series was born. Pink cord and cool packaging design in combination with the spiral, shiny tip are the basis for the addiUnicorn.

"I picked up a pair of circulars to try socks and was stunned at how amazing these needles were! The tips just glided like nothing. I've used before and the cables is perfect for magic loop, it is so flexible!"

The little family
The innovative design of these needles, in which the smallest rounds can be knitted with just three needles, makes for convenient knitting with just a few needle changes. For all those who like to knit socks, gloves or small circular projects, the addiCraSyTrio Unicorn knitting needles are the perfect choice.
The addiCraSyTrio Unicorn needles are available in thicknesses of 2-5 mm and thus offer a wide range of uses. Their smooth transition from tip to cord creates a seamless knitting experience. Each needle in the set is equipped with a basic and a lace tip, so you can decide individually which tip you need.
With the 30 cm long addiCraSyTrio needle, we opted for the long version, which can be used to knit both the very small diameters such as socks, but also larger diameters such as hats or sleeves.

Comparison: addiUnicorn, addiNovel and addiClassic
While the square addiNovel needles focus on perfect ergonomics and are a good choice especially for aching hands due to their square shape and strong structure, the addiUnicorn needles impress with their lighter, spiral structure.
Compared to the addiNovel needle tips, the massage effect is somewhat softer with the round addiUnicorn knitting needles. The stitch pattern benefits from the structure on both needles and especially loose knitters should test both, as the structure of the needle tips guides the stitches well.
The more even Unicorn structure is very suitable for tight knitters, as the stitches are guided along the length of the needle tip by the spiral structure and therefore slip much better than with the Novel structure.

The curved, smooth tips made of metal that shimmer wonderfully in the light and the pink cords are common to all addiUnicorn needles. Of course, they also combine the proven addi quality - Made in Germany!
All in all, the addiUnicorn knitting needles are a wonderful addition to any needle collection. Let yourself be inspired by the magic of the addiUnicorn needles and conjure up unique knitting projects that are not only beautiful to look at, but also designed with joy.
