    Works PERFECTLY IF directions are followed
    I read too many bad reviews before finding a video on youtube for this (the Addi site also has a video). I believe there are too many people who are not actually following directions on how this little egg works. The yarn needs to be a smooth slippery type yarn (the pictures I posted were done in #4 Caron Simply Soft) - not a sticky wool or a yarn that splits easily- the weight MUST be on the yarn tail and not allowed to rest on a table - and after the cast on, the LID MUST BE ON for it to work correctly. If these things are done, and the weight is adjusted up as the i-cord grows, it truly works flawlessly. The three i-cords in the picture were made in under 15 minutes without any problems at all. Im thrilled I finally purchased this little gem! Happy cranking :)

    5.0 out of 5 stars IMO most bad reviews are due to user error
    Reviewed in the United States on February 1, 2023
    First of all, prices fluctuate wildly for this item on Amazon! I snagged mine for $28, two days later it was $60, then $40. So if you really, really want a deal just be very patient. I waited a year! lol

    Second, and most important, the reviews almost scared me out of purchasing. However, after watching 2 YouTube videos and following the instructions to the letter my first try was a success. I truly believe the bulk of the poor reviews are simply due to user error. You MUST cast on correctly and you must use the weight correctly. Once the weight gets close to the table/floor/your lap you just stop and move it back up. In doing so I made it through an entire skein of yarn with zero skipped or tucked stitches! I’ve had this for roughly a month and have had nothing but good results!

    This is my second Addi product. I also have the 22 pin Addi Express. I’m my opinion Addi is head and shoulders above other brands. They are worth the hefty price if you plan on using them even semi-regularly. I have 3 Sentros and a Prym, and the Addi machines take yarn that won’t make it through even one row on the others.

    One of the needles is, for lack of a better term, deformed and as such does not grab the yarn properly resulting in dropped stitches. It did not come with replacement needles like the bigger Addi machines do and the only replacements I can find online ship from Europe and with shipping cost almost as much as a new machine. Very disappointed with the quality control. I expected better from this product. First photo is the defective needle. Second photo is what it should look like.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Very easy to use
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 5, 2023
    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.
