Seeknit's timeless sock sticks are an international bestseller! Made from the finest aged Japanese bamboo that perfectly combines strength and flexibility. The bamboo is particularly hardened and robust, ensuring strong and durable sticks. Furthermore, bamboo is a natural material with a lower environmental impact than many other materials.
The polished surface feels soft and allows the yarn to glide easily over the needles. With these needles you can knit small circles, making them ideal for small projects like socks, gloves and sleeves. By attaching a needle stopper to one end, they can also be used as single needles.
The stick ends are 20 cm long. Select the thickness of the small circles below.
