Seeknit Shirotake asym. circ. needle 23cm 2.00-6.00mm - 1pc

These Seeknit Shirotake asymmetrical circular knitting needles made by the Japanese family business Kinki Amibari are ideal for knitting projects with few stitches, such as socks, leg warmers, mitts, wrist warmers, sleeves or hats. The circular needle has a short cable with a long and short knitting needle attached. Place the stitches on the short needle and work with the long needle. The long needle is easier to hold and that makes knitting easier. The knitting needles in the Shirotake product line are made from sustainable, natural-coloured bamboo. They are smoothly polished with natural plant wax, which gives them a beautiful shine and also feels wonderfully soft - the stitches glide on and off the needle very easily. Seeknit's bamboo knitting needles have a pointed tip and the needle size is clearly visible and laser imprinted on the needle. All Seeknit circular knitting needles have an extremely flexible cable, which prevents it from kinking and twisting. The Seeknit Shirotake asymmetric circular knitting needle is 23cm long and is available in needle size 2.00-6.00mm. Supplied per 1 piece.

General information applicable to all Shirotake and Koshitsu needles and needle sets

Both the Shirotake and Koshitsu needles are made with bamboo, but the finish is different. The surface of the Shirotake series has a smooth finish with natural plant wax, which gives the needles a beautiful shine. Further, they feel wonderful to the touch. On the other hand, the needles in the Koshitsu series undergo a high-pressure and heat treatment. The surface is then smoothed with natural plant wax. This special treatment ensures that the needles are extra strong and durable and protects them against harmful external influences. In addition, this prevents the wood from warping. The result is a comfortable and smooth knitting experience with needles that feel wonderfully warm to the touch.
