【The oldest manufacturer of bamboo knitting needles in Japan】
1: The background and history of the Seeknit brand:
To celebrate our 100th anniversary in 2016, we launched a new brand ” Seeknit ” to help you ” seek and explore ” your own world of knitting. Through our products and various activities, we thought that we could bring knitting closer to you. Kinki Amibari will continue to contribute to and promote the ongoing culture of knitting.
2: Japanese materials:
Bamboo knitting needles have been a long time favorite among knitters all over the world. Unlike any other material, the strong, durable fibers in bamboo make the needles light and flexible. Bamboo that grows in Japan is especially hard and resilient, reinforced by fibers called fibrovascular bundles, giving it excellent luster. At Kinki Amibari, we only use carefully selected naturalized ” moso bamboo ” grown in Japan.
Bamboo is a renewable resource as it grows extremely quickly. Using bamboo means very little environmental impact and logging bamboo for products such as knitting needles means giving more room to protect our forests. One of the reasons that people have preferred bamboo throughout the years is that it is ” natural and environmentally friendly “.

3: Made by skilled craftsmen:
Bamboo is different in nature, depending on where it is grown, the season, and the variety. For this reason, only skilled craftsmen who have the flexibility to work with these properties are able to manufacture stable quality bamboo knitting needles.
Over these years, we have devoted ourselves to making the best use of our accumulated skills and expertise to improve the quality of our products and to develop easier-to-use knitting needles.
We developed the asymmetric circular needle that makes it easier to work small diameters and the circular needle that has a cord that doesn’t twist. These are just two examples of how our products came to life based on careful examination of ideas and repetition of trial and error.
The Seeknit product line that includes not only variation, but also innovative ideas such as the asymmetric needles or rotating joints is a direct reflection of our history of development.
Manufactured with solid experience and skilled craftsmen.
Each item is carefully inspected.

The shiny and smooth surface of the knitting needles shows the highest quality that we are proud to offer.
We offer a wide range of knitting needles suitable for various situations, including a wide-ranging selection of types, sizes, lengths, thicknesses, and connectivity, as well as a variety of accessories.
