5.0 out of 5 stars Very easy to use
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.
1.0 out of 5 stars It had one job and failed
I have tried this with many weights of yarn, with different weights on the end and any other fix I could imagine. This does not make cord, it makes a mangled mess.Not only that, but I have to go in and perform surgery to removed the mangled mess from all the hooks.Handle falls off a lot but easily solved with blu-tac or glue, not that you'd want to because this is super duper not good.I should add I am very well versed in knitting and knitting machines, I can easily operate round and flatbed machines. This is just...No.The only reason I'm not requesting a refund is because I stupidly threw out the packaging because I assumed it would work because it's addi and the brand tend to be good. Whoops.Only good thing I can say about it is that it hasn't straight up broken or snapped during my surgery attempts due to it trying to eat the yarn. So it's well made. Useless, but well made.
5.0 out of 5 stars So simple a three year old can do it!
What an awesome product. 2 minutes to put the pieces together, 3 minutes to thread it wool in as I'm lazy and couldn't be bothered to find a yarn needle, 10 minutes later I have a perfect 6+ foot I-cord.If you have either of the bigger Addi knitting machines you basically have to forget everything you know about knitting on them apart from casting on and off.Make sure the lid is on and the little gap in it is in line with the yarn feeder.Make sure the weight is on and don't let it rest on a surface before you move it up.It's that simple, my 3 year old nephew had a go once I had it cast on and he got good looking i-cord from it... well he did until he decided it was a spaceship and ran around the room with it making rocket sounds and I had to cut the yarn because the aliens were using it to pull the spaceship back to their planet.
4.0 out of 5 stars It's ok
I was expecting better results
5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant, but there’s a knack to it …
Having read the reviews I wasn’t hopeful. However I ordered it this morning & it arrived same day.I watched a YouTube video, and tried both with DK and lightweight fluffier yarn. Absolutely brilliant. But, you have to make sure that at no point, even when threading, the weight touches the work surface or the tension will not be right. It must hang free at all times.So I ended up with the “egg” on the edge of the worktop, the weight hanging down & then when it got near to the floor I made a loop in the cord & clipped it up with a clothes peg higher up the cord.According to the video I watched this knack is the answer to all the issues that previous reviewers have mentioned. Check out The Yarn Junkie on YouTube.Edit: The other thing I forgot to mention is the handle. You have to push it in really firmly so it fits flush with the casing. Then it doesn’t fall off.Edit (2) : DK acrylic wool is the best yarn to use. Do not try with a cotton or cotton mix yarn. I’m guessing it’s because it doesn’t stretch, but it was a disaster!
3.0 out of 5 stars Returned twice!
I have ordered this twice in two days 1st came home with broken pin … second the handle / cog keeps slipping … I have all the other sizes of Addi machines and used them for years with no problem at all .. so slightly disappointed with the Addi egg … not sure if the quality is perhaps not as good as they used to make or a bad batch … have ordered a third … perhaps third time lucky!
2.0 out of 5 stars Rubbish wool just gets tangled up
I paid the extra for this item as the cheaper other just got tangled up or didn't even thread the wool.Well this isn't any better as you can see on the picture. I have tried 5 times and every time it slips stitches and gets all tangled up. Deffo wouldn't buy again.
5.0 out of 5 stars Easy to handle
Easy to handle and thread, just wish the handle would stay in. Other than the handle everything is good
This worked as intended.
This knitter worked like it was intended to when you use the correct size yarn. I like the weight and that it has legs and was compact and good for travel. It was easy to put together and use. I found it to be of qood quality as it did not break will using it. I returned it because I thought it would do bigger yarn which it will not. It did fine with 4 worsted weight cotton . Just not a 5 weight which is what I needed. It looked bigger like it would and I saw a video that lead me to believe it would, but the yarn I wanted to use was to big, it just kept jamming up. I bought the next size up a 22 needle Addi to see if that will work. They need an in-between size of these two machines.
Works great
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. :)
