Seeknit Shirotake Circular 16" (40cm)

Seeknit is Japan's oldest manufacturer of bamboo knitting needles, It is an old family-owned factory with proud traditions for craftmanship and quality. Only carefully selected strong Japanese bamboo from special plantations in the Nara area is used. 'Shirotake' is a bamboo knitting needle with less manufacturing process. This creates a softer and more natural feel of bamboo, with a carefully polished surface and needle tip that provides for a smooth knitting comfortability. Product features: The finely buffed needle tips are tapered perfectly to be sharp but not at the expense of your fingertips. They make it easier to pick up stitches and knit up beautifully. The highly polished surface is soft and smooth to the touch allowing the yarn to slide off easily. The finish is sleek and not tacky but grips more than metal needles. Your yarn doesn’t stick, nor does it slide off by accident. Truly the best of both worlds. The size is laser printed on each needle, so it won’t rub off. All our circular needles have a 360 degree swivel cord to prevent the cord from twisting.
