Feature
Shirotake
“Shirotake” is a bamboo knitting needle that allows you to enjoy the natural texture of bamboo. “Shirotake” is a bamboo knitting needle with less manufacturing process than our “Koshitsu” knitting needles, so it is softer and you can enjoy the natural bounce of bamboo. The carefully polished surface and needle tips are smooth and provide for knitting comfortability.
The major differences between products are “hardness”, “slipperiness” and “durability”. If you value “hardness” and “slipperiness,” choose “Koshitsu” If you want to emphasize the natural “flexibility” of bamboo, you can use “Shirotake white Bamboo”. In addition, “Koshitsu” is more durable because of the “high pressure treatment” and “natural plant wax impregnation” process. However, the above are just general points, so please choose the knitting needles that suit you best.
