The Addi Knitting Machine Large 890-2 is a hand-cranked circular knitting machine from the German needle maker Addi. It is built for chunky work: it takes 10–15 mm knitting tools, so it turns out thick hats, cowls, blankets and quick gifts far faster than hand knitting. Compared with finer-gauge machines and plastic toy knitters, it is a sturdier metal build aimed at adults who want bulky yarn projects. Owners rate it highly, with most praise going to its smooth crank and even stitches and most complaints to jams and the learning curve.
