Seeknit Shirotake interc. circular needle set STD - 1pc

These Seeknit interchangeable knitting needle tips for circular needles are made with Shirotake bamboo. The lightweight needle tips are strong and durable, but also flexible to a certain extent. The material provides a smooth surface and is comfortable to hold. Moreover, bamboo is a natural material with a lower environmental impact than other materials. The needle size is lasered into the needle, which allows you to easily read the size, even after intensive use. Seeknit’s transparent nylon cables are flexible and strong and, in combination with knitting needle tips, provide ultimate knitting comfort. The needle tips are easy to connect to the cable and the independently rotating cable connection (swivel cord) ensures that the cable does not kink. This set of Seeknit Shirotake interchangeable circular needles contains 12 pairs of knitting needle tips in the following sizes: 2.25, 2.75, 3.00 and 3.25mm (each 10cm long) and 3.75, 4.00, 4.50, 5.00, 5.50, 6.00, 7.00 and 8.00mm (each 12.5cm long). There are 8 cables in different screw sizes in the lengths 20, 25, 30cm (M1.8), 32, 54cm (M2) and 35, 54, 75cm (M4) and 3 cable connectors included. The fabric case is available in different colours and can be used to store the set neatly.

Seeknit's interchangeable circular knitting needles and tips let you choose which products you use. Combine cable connectors/splices, 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.
