## Description

Product Description Addi Egg is the smallest of the popular Express Knitting Machines. This miniature version has 6 needles, legs, hand crank, protective dome and hanging weight. It produces a thick i-Cord much like a French knitting dolly but in a fraction of the time!. Safety Warning Avoid contact with eyes. Keep away from naked flame or direct heat sources.

Review: 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.
Review: 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!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Would this work with soft .4 mm jewellery wire**
A: No, I've crocheted with jewellery wire on 0.5mm hooks and know how fiddly that is, the addi I cord would not be suitable for jewellery wire, it only works with yarn and even then it's very temperamental. There are tutorials for I cord machines on YouTube, this would show you how fiddly they are, the yarn slips off the hooks easily and tangles if you're not careful but once you get the hang of it and you have the correct yarn they work well and are fun. Have you considered a Lucet for wire knitting.

**Q: Are there replacement pins available ?**
A: I have seen them available on eBay, shipped from a seller in Germany, but I’ve not found a stockist in the U.K.

**Q: Do you do replacement parts? i’ve past the return window by a few days. it’s skipping all the time when i’m cranking,i have to use the handle base.**
A: artyarn or addineedlesuk sell spares

**Q: Can this take Double Knit yarn?**
A: Yes

### ⭐ It had one job and failed
*by F***E on 21 January 2023*

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.
