LOOPS OF LOVE All you need to get started on your next knitting or crochet project VIRIDIAN Seeknit (Kinki Amibari) have been producing beautiful bamboo knitting needles for the last 100 years and are located between Osaka and Kyoto. From the finely ground needle points and carefully polished surface of the aged bamboo to the flexible rotating joint that prevents twisting, Seeknit needles are a joy to work with. The material for the Koshitsu bamboo needles is stored for up to 10 years and then steamed to harden and prevent warping. This makes the Koshitsu bamboo well suited to smaller needle sizes. The needles are further treated with natural plant wax for a beautiful finish. Seeknit Koshitsu needles have finely buffed needle tips which are tapered perfectly to be sharp but not at the expense of your fingertips. They make it easier to pick up stitches and knit up beautifully. office@viridianltd.co.uk www.viridianyarn.com HAWTHORN HANDMADE Show off your crafty side with these charming Yarn Ball wooden stud earrings!
