Seeknit Shirotake Interc. needle tips M2 5cm 4.50mm - 1pc

The Shirotake interchangeable circular knitting tips by Seeknit are made of excellent quality Japanese bamboo. The lightweight knitting tips lie comfortably in the hand and the natural material feels pleasantly warm. The tips, in combination with the cables, provide ultimate knitting comfort. The Seeknit interchangeable circular knitting tips can easily be combined with the Seeknit cables by connecting the tips to a cable with the same screw size. The knitting tips are 5cm long and are supplied in pairs. Available in sizes 2.00-3.25mm (screw size M1.8) and 3.50-5.00mm (screw size M2).

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.
