Seeknit Shirotake Interc. needle tips M1.8 14cm - 1pc

These Seeknit interchangeable knitting needle tips for circular needles are made of bamboo. 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. The needle size is lasered into the needle, which allows you to easily read the size even after intensive use. The needle tips are easy to connect to Seeknit's nylon cables and the independently rotating cable connection (swivel cord) ensures that the cable does not kink. These Seeknit interchangeable circular knitting tips are 14cm long and have screw size M1.8.

The interchangeable circular knitting needles and tips by Seeknit let you choose which products you use. Combine cable connectors, adaptors, needle stoppers and other parts to create the perfect needle for you and your project! Parts with the same screw size (M1.8, M2 or M4) can be attached directly to each other. Do you have 2 different screw sizes? Then they can still be combined by means of an adapter.

Please note: your cable needs to be minimally as long as both of your needle tips combined. By attaching a needle stopper to one end of a cable, you can also create flexible single-pointed knitting needles.

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.
