Why are there different types of knitting needles?
Knitting projects can look completely different, but are all created with the same tool - the knitting needle. But there is more than just one knitting needle - in countless shapes, lengths and with different surfaces and materials.
It's a matter of personal taste which type of knitting needle you prefer, but it's important to know that not every needle is suitable for every knitting project.
So before knitting needles are purchased, it should be clear what is to be knitted and, crucially, what yarn is to be used. Also, the question of whether a pattern will be knitted, can influence the choice of knitting needle.
So knitting project and needle must fit each other to achieve a beautiful result and enjoy knitting.
Es ist einfach nicht schön, wenn z.B. Maschen nicht gleichmäßig über die Nadel rutschen und ständig mit ihnen „gekämpft“ werden muss. Das macht keinen Spaß und es schwindet die Lust weiter zu stricken. Am Ende landet das Strickstück womöglich als „UFO“ (unfertiges Objekt) in irgendeiner Ecke. Das wäre wirklich schade.
To clarify: If you want to hammer a nail into the wall, you don't choose a screwdriver as a tool - do you?

Special addi-knitting needles
addi has other types of needles in the program, which also fit into the three categories, but are still partly a little more special and can make knitting very easy.
For example, the flexible 3 double pointed needles „addiCraSyTrio“ for knitting in small rounds or the square knitting needles in ergonomic design „addiNovel“ or the addiUnicorn with spiral structure as well as the „addiClick“ System with interchangeable needles and ropes that are connected completely without tools.
The addiCraSyTrio is even patent-protected, the addiNovel is protected by a utility patent.
