Is the addi Express Professional worth it?

Yes if you make hats, cowls or blanket squares and want them fast. If you mainly knit adult sweaters, its 15–20 cm flat width will frustrate you.

How does it compare with the addi Express Kingsize?

The Kingsize has 46 needles and knits much wider pieces, including adult sweater panels. The Professional's 22 needles are better for hats and smaller circular work.

What yarn can it use?

addi recommends 3.5 mm to 8 mm yarn, roughly DK through super bulky. Very thin yarn can drop stitches, and very thick yarn can jam the needles.

Can it knit flat as well as in the round?

Yes. Set it for circular knitting to make tubes about 10–15 cm across, or flat knitting for panels 15–20 cm wide.

Craft retailers discount it around major sales and holidays. The best new price was $116.54 at eBay as of November 4, 2026, so compare against that.
