Thank you for all your tutorials, so well explained!! The natural colours of the Alpaca yarn make your hat so special. Alpaca is lovely to knit or weave with and I love how it blooms after washing. So cosy. I have bought Alpaca fleeces to prepare and spin and love the whole process though it does take time.
Oh my gosh, just got my addi and your videos have helped me so much to understand how to use it. Also, such a calming and enjoyable video to watch! Thank you! :)
Even though this video is a little bit older it was still very informative I would never think that because of the thickness of alpaca that one could get it to go through the addi. I just tried some cashmere yarn chunky and it went through there so I'm totally amazed by all this thank you so much for sharing 🤗❣️
Thank you so much for your well done videos! I do have an alpaca farm and sell a lot of yarn, but now I can make these hats too! Got my addi last week. :)
I enjoyed your video and the way you finish the hat. I have an Addi machine and I make lots of hats I enjoy it very much. Thank you for the video.😊😊😊 Happy knitting
Thank you for your kind feedback! You are well on your way to becoming an "Addi"ct! There are several really great Addi groups on Facebook. My favorite is "Addi King Loomers & Knits" Best Wishes, Nikki
I enjoyed this video series very much. I plan on ordering one of your hats just to see how they look in person. Once that is done and I like the product I will order the machine from you.
Hi Nikki, I just viewed your RUclips. This is now May 31, 2022. Are you still doing RUclips videos? I just got my Addi Knitting Machine in April. I'm having fun cracking out my first batch of hats for the Homeless. Your video though 7 yrs old was a great help to me.
Hello! Thanks for your kind feedback! thank you for your service to the homeless! I only made those because I am both an alpaca breeder and an Addi dealer also and wanted to show other alpaca owners how they could use the yarn from their animals! Good luck in all your future endeavors!
THANK YOU FOR THIS TUTORIAL, IT'S SO CLEAR I UNDERSTAND IT. CAN I GIVE YOU AND YOUR FOLLOWERS A TIP THAT I USE AND IT'S VERY HANDY.!!! I SET UP MY HAT ON WASTE YARN OF CONTRAST COLOUR AND DO 10/12 ROWS KNIT ONE ROW ONLY WITH CONTRAST CROCHET COTTON. THEN USE YOUR MAIN YARN (yarns) AND COMPLETE YOUR HAT. ( THE 110, 120, 140 ROWS ETC. FOR SIZE REQUIRED. AT THIS STAGE KNIT ONE ROW ONLY WITH CONTRAST CROCHET COTTON. KNIT 10/12 ROWS WASTE YARN(CONTRAST COLOUR. ### NOW KNIT ONE ROW CROCHET COTTON, THEN 10/12 ROWS WASTE YARN. 1 ROW CROCHET COTTON. THEN KNIT YOUR NEXT HAT AS BEFORE. ( DO AS MANY HATS AS YOU WISH IN THIS FASHION AND LEAVE THE LAST WASTE YARN ON THE MACHINE TO THE READY FOR YOUR NEXT LOT OF HATS. FINISH OFF YOUR HATS AS USUAL. ( JUST PULL OUT THE CROCHET COTTON TO SEPERATE EACH HATS.) YE KNITTERS I HOPE WITH PRACTICE, WILL LOVE THE IDEA I HAVE GIVEN YOU. I DID LOTS OF HATS LAST YEAR AND GAVE THEM TOO THE CHILDRENS SHOE BOX APPREAL FOR CHRISTMAS. FROM 80yr old CRAFTER ❤❤
Thanks for your tutorial. I'm sure I could now use it. However, I am wondering how large the hats actually are as I hand knit very large ones that I then felt but my hands don't like the process nad i was hoping these might be the answer.
Hello Sue, thanks for your feedback. I have used a variety of yarns and find that the heavier the yarn, the firmer the hat. I like to use two strands of a suri 2-ply together when I want a looser weave with a bit of give or stretch in it. You can experiment and have fun. There is a wonderful group if you are on Facebook called "Addi Loomers & Knits", there are over 7,000 members globally, and they post patterns and photos of what they are doing. It is absolutely stunning, and there is also a library of other videos! Enjoy!
Hi, the best video and well explained BUT what if the person wants a pom pom? It's reversible so how can you add a pom pom please? It would have to be removable/detachable I guess because you'd want one pom on one side and then remove it to use on the other side when wearing it on the other side. How to do this please? If you could please explain and possibly make a video how to attach removable pom. thank you in advance
Hello Fernando! Thank you for your question. The way of attaching the pom pom shown actually shows how to create it using part of the hat tube itself, not a separate pom pom. And you are right, when you do it like that, it is harder to become reversible because then there is the pom next to the wearer's head. There are a number of other videos about how to make a create a pom pom on RUclips, and not even necessarily for a hat made with the addi, but the process would be the same. There are little looms that make it easy and fast to create a pom pom, but I have seen videos that just use things available at hand. Again, thank you for watching my video!
PUT A BUTTON IN THE OPPOSITE SIDE AND USE FINE ELASTIC FROM THE pom pom THREAD A NEEDLE AND BRING IT THROUGH THE CENTRE OF YOUR HAT AND LOOP IT AROUND THE BUTTON YOU ALSO REQUIRE A BUTTON ON THE FIRST SIDE SO THAT YOU CAN UNDO FROM 1st side used and reverse the pom pom. ❤❤ 80yr old CRAFTER
GRACE DIDONATO you can contact the seller or addi themselves for replacing parts. And yes the counter tends to skip if the yarn has synthetic fibers like acrylic or polyester, sometimes with wool as well. It’s just a static discharge from the fibers.
Thanks for your inquiry about Parts one and two of the video series. I have added a link to both parts in the comments about the video above! Best Regards, Nikki
Yes we do! Note that all distributors are currently out of stock; the supply chain has been disrupted, and Addi will likely not ship more to the US until later this spring. You can send me a note at sandollar01@gmail.com and I can put you on my waiting list if you like!
Thanks for reaching out. Most folks use about 100 to 120 rows depending on several factors, including whether the yarn is particularly stretchy or not, and whether a brim is desired, and whether the wearer is a child or an adult.
Which is yarn is most stretching, because I won't be able to do hat for man on this machine. I made one and barely fits me. the yarn is 4 or 5. I got upset.
Tut Secret I don’t know if you’ve figured it out yet but I thought I’d reply. Try less tension when holding the yarn to get a looser and stretchy hat you can use any type of yarn and usually anything under size 5 weight yarn is good.
Hi Karen! No I haven't done anything lately, but are you on Facebook? There are several REALLY GREAT ADDI groups on FB that have tons of videos, patterns, amazing things that folks are creating. My favorite is Addi King Loomers & Knits! JoJo is a gem!

Awesome
will you please make video on how make addi scarf
Great Vedic the Handel broke on my king addie can it be replaced also my row counter skips it counts two rows at a time can u help me
GRACE DIDONATO you can contact the seller or addi themselves for replacing parts. And yes the counter tends to skip if the yarn has synthetic fibers like acrylic or polyester, sometimes with wool as well. It’s just a static discharge from the fibers.
Do you sell the addi express?
I SHOULD ADD THAT THE CROCHET COTTON CAN BE USED MANY TIMES , ALSO THE WASTE YARN. DISPOSE OF IT WHEN YOU SEE IT STARTING TO RAVEL.!! ❤
Thank you for your comments! Hapy knitting! Nikki
Where are the videos for parts one and two? Can someone help me find them?
Thanks for your inquiry about Parts one and two of the video series. I have added a link to both parts in the comments about the video above!
Best Regards,
Nikki

@@ghettosuperstar76 So happy you are enjoying them! Best Regards,

Do you still sell the Addi machines?
Yes we do! Note that all distributors are currently out of stock; the supply chain has been disrupted, and Addi will likely not ship more to the US until later this spring. You can send me a note at sandollar01@gmail.com and I can put you on my waiting list if you like!
Wher is Part i and Part 2.?
If you do a search for addi, sandollar, Nikki Griffith, they should all come up, I uploaded them all together, not sure why they didn't stay together.
💫😎🇦🇺👍
Totally enjoyed your lessons ...looking forward to putting it into action on my own new addi 😎🇦🇺
What's the size of the whole tube.
