General information applicable to all Shirotake and Koshitsu needles and needle sets

Both Shirotake and Koshitsu needles are made from bamboo, but the finish is different.

The surface of the Shirotake series has a smooth finish with natural plant wax, giving the needles a beautiful shine. In addition, they feel great 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 from harmful external influences. It also prevents the wood from warping. The result is a comfortable and smooth knitting experience with needles that feel pleasantly warm to the touch.

Seeknit Cable Needles – How to Use Them

Cable needles allow you to cross multiple stitches and create beautiful cables in your knitting. Thanks to the curved shape of the needles, the yarn stays neatly in place, so you can easily continue working without dropping any stitches as you follow the pattern.

Three sizes in one set

A set of cable needles from Seeknit includes 3 pieces in different sizes: 10.5 cm (4.00 mm), 11.5 cm (5.00 mm), and 12.5 cm (7.00 mm). This means you’ll always have the right size on hand, no matter what project you’re working on, and can easily choose the cable needle that best suits your yarn.
