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.
