Seeknit Shirotake Double Pointed Needle L Set 20cm

A focused collection of bamboo knitting needles, bringing together larger sizes suited to thicker yarns, textured stitch-work, and more substantial projects. Designed for working in the round, it offers a practical and quietly refined approach to knitting socks, sleeves, hats, and beyond.

Crafted in Japan from carefully selected Shirotake bamboo, each needle is gently hardened to create strength and resilience while remaining light and comfortable in the hand. The smooth, polished surface, finished with natural plant wax, allows stitches to glide with ease, helping to maintain an even, consistent tension throughout your knitting.

The 20cm length provides additional space for stitches and a more relaxed hold, particularly when working with heavier yarns or larger stitch patterns. Bamboo, as a natural material, also offers a lower environmental impact than many synthetic alternatives, making this set a considered choice for everyday making.

- 4.5mm

Suitable for

There is something reassuring about working with tools that feel balanced and dependable. This is a set designed for steady, enjoyable knitting — where each stitch flows easily, and your focus can remain on the rhythm of making.

Thank you for your review. SEEKNIT needle tips are beautifully crafted from natural Moso bamboo, so variations in colour and grain are part of what makes each needle unique. These natural differences highlight the authentic character of the bamboo and do not affect the needles’ quality or performance.

This set is a must buy, then you can add the other needles and cords in the range as you see fit.
I am of the opinion that these needles and cords are a great value for money given the quality. I really enjoy knitting with them and they have quickly become my go to set. They are so silent and smooth to knit with. They have no irritating join, just a seamless brass metal connector. The cords don’t twist or bend, but rather they keep there shape without being rigid or kinked. LOVE THEM!

Thank you for your order and kind words

Beautiful smooth needles. I love the way they join to the cords

Thank you for your order and review - happy knitting.

2.75mm (M1.8 screw size)

I found the join between the needle and the cable to be quite a steep angle so the yarn doesn’t run smoothly over the join.
I didn’t enjoy using these.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your thoughts.

I’m really sorry to hear you didn’t enjoy using these needles and that the join between the cable and needle wasn’t smooth for you. That should never get in the way of your stitches flowing. I completely understand how frustrating it can be when your yarn catches instead of gliding.

Your feedback is incredibly helpful, and I’ll make sure it’s passed on to the manufacturer. If you’d like, I’d be very happy to help you find an alternative needle style or brand that offers a smoother join — there are some lovely options with more gradual transitions that many of our customers (and I!) find a joy to knit with.

Thank you again for letting me know — every stitch of feedback helps.

Mi first time with Seeknit needles. I love it!

The bamboo used in the needle tips is lovely and smooth to the touch - obviously necessary for snag resistance. The reason that I chose this set is because the needle tips are smaller than usual and also the sizes go down to 2mm which also seems to be unusual here in the UK. Finally I love the beautiful good quality cotton case. I only have one small reservation which is the use of plastic for the needle slots - partly because of environmental concerns but also because I worry that it might go brittle and crack over time.
