Sustainable

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.

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 and madake bamboo grown in Japan.
We use the outer part of the bamboo for needles, which has a lot of fibrovascular bundles.
Bamboo knitting needles with high elasticity and strength can be made by using a part with many fibrovascular bundles.

We feel that creating sustainable products will be important in the future.
We use renewable bamboo materials and strive to create better products for the environment.
In the future, we would like to promote environmental measures in the secondary materials such as packages.
