Interchangeable Needles

A bit confused about interchangeable needle sets? Y2Knit carries the addi and Hiya Hiya. Here's the summary of what each offers:

The addi Turbo® Click system provides 10 different sizes of addi Turbo® tips (3.5mm, 3.75mm, 4.0mm, 4.5mm, 5.0mm, 5.5mm, 6.0mm, 8.0mm, 9.0mm, and 10.0mm), three different lengths of the new, extremely pliable blue cord (24”, 32” and 40”), and one connector piece which helps to either store stitches or combine your cords.

The Click tips require no tools to change; simply insert the cord deep into the tip, twist and release. The tips will remain secure until you change them, thanks to the Click’s revolutionary locking mechanism!

Click tips and cords can be ordered separately. The replacement/additional cords come in packs of 3 of the same size or a combo pack of the three sizes.

Taking orders now for the addi Lace Click system, which provides 8 different sizes of addi Lace tips (3.5mm, 3.75mm, 4.0mm, 4.5mm, 5.0mm, 5.5mm, 6.0mm, 8.0mm), five different lengths of the new, extremely pliable blue cord (16", 20", 24”, 32” and 40”), and one connector piece which helps to either store stitches or combine cords. Separate cords and tips are not available yet, but will be in the future.

While the 24”, 32”, and 40” cords from both addi Click sets are fully compatible with any style of tip, the new 16” and 20” cords are not compatible with the Turbo® tips. The length of the Turbo® tips combined with these smaller cords, will not allow for proper knitting.

Very popular are the Hiya Hiya Interchangeable kits. These kits come in four options:
4" small (sizes 2-8)
5" small (sizes 2-8)
4" large (sizes 9-15) (available soon)
5" large (sizes 9-15) (available soon)

Each kits comes with the designated tips and four cord lengths. A long screw ensures these won't come undone easily.

Additional tips and cords can be ordered, ala carte: tips in the sizes available in the kit and cord sizes 16, 24, 32, 40 and 60". The 60" cord is not in the kits. The cords for the small and large kits are NOT interchangeable, but work on both 4" and 5" tips for the small or large needles.
