Seeknit Shirotake double-pointed needle set 20cm S - 1pc

It’s no wonder Seeknit’s timeless double-pointed knitting needles are an international bestseller! Seeknit supplies the best quality needles, for which carefully selected bamboo from Japan is used. This bamboo is specially hardened and resilient, which ensures strong and durable needles. Moreover, bamboo is a natural material with a lower environmental impact than other materials. The polished surface is soft to the touch and allows the yarn to glide easily over the needle. This Seeknit Shirotake double pointed needle set contains 5 sets of 5 double pointed needles each, 20cm long (needle sizes 2.00, 2.50, 3.00, 3.50 and 4.00mm). The fabric case is available in different colours.

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.
