Seeknit Koshitsu interchangeable needles with 12.5 cm tips are handmade in Japan by Kinki Amibari, a workshop with over 100 years of tradition in crafting the finest Moso bamboo needles. The Koshitsu treatment — a traditional process combining pressure and high temperature with natural plant-wax impregnation — gives the wood an ultra-smooth, lustrous and extremely durable surface.
The standard 12.5 cm length is ideal for knitting sweaters, cardigans, scarves and shawls in the round. The carefully polished tips suit all yarn types, from thick wool to mohair and silk. Light, warm-to-the-touch Moso bamboo reduces hand fatigue in long sessions.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between M1.8 and M2?M1.8 is the thread for fine sizes (2.0–3.0 mm), while M2 is for medium and large sizes (3.5 mm and up). The separate systems ensure stability and correct proportions at every size.
Which cable do I need?M1.8 tips connect to Seeknit M1.8 nylon cables, and M2 tips to Seeknit M2 nylon cables. You can also use the M2–M1.8 adapter for complete flexibility.
Are they suitable for delicate yarns like mohair?Yes. The Koshitsu finish provides an ultra-smooth surface that does not snag fine yarns, making these tips excellent for mohair, silk and alpaca.
Does Moso bamboo need special care?Thanks to the Koshitsu treatment, the bamboo is resistant to moisture and wear. Dry storage is recommended, avoiding prolonged exposure to direct heat sources.
