Located between Osaka and Kyoto, Kinki Amibari have been producing beautiful bamboo knitting needles for the last 100 years.

From the finely ground needle points and carefully polished surface of the aged bamboo, to the flexible rotating joint that prevents twisting, Seeknit needles are a complete pleasure to knit with.

These sets of interchangeable needles are now available in both the blonde Shirotake and darker Koshitsu versions.

The Shirotake bamboo is dried in the sun and processed with essential oils. The needles are manufactured with machinery that guarantees precision, then hand polished for a smooth surface finish.

The material for the dark Koshitsu bamboo needles is stored for up to 10 years and then steamed to harden it and prevent warping. This makes the Koshitsu bamboo especially suited to smaller needle sizes. The dark bamboo needles are further treated with natural wax for a beautiful finish.

• 11 knitting needles sizes: 2.5-2.75-3-3.25-3.50-3.75-4-4.50-5-5.50-6mm for the ecru set and 2½-3-3½-4-4½-5-5½-6-7-8-10 mm for the red and blue sets
• 60-80-100 cm cable lengths
• 2 connectors for joining cables together.
