A Century of Japanese Craft Mastery

Handcrafted bamboo tools from Nara, Japan — trusted by knitters worldwide for their balance, smoothness, and natural feel. BQSK is excited to introduce, Seeknit, the world’s oldest knitting needle manufacturer, crafting tools in Nara, Japan since 1916.

Every needle reflects generations of bamboo craftsmanship, from careful material selection to precision shaping and hand-finished polishing. A heritage brand with a modern commitment to quality, Seeknit blends tradition with thoughtful innovation.

Japanese Moso bamboo - naturally strong, resilient, and silky in hand.

Seeknit selects only mature, slow-grown bamboo from trusted local sources — ensuring:

Higher fiber density, exceptional durability, natural gloss and smoothness, and a warm touch knitters love. This material is the foundation of Seeknit’s signature feel.

The Making Process

Creating a Seeknit needle is a six-month journey.

Every step is intentional: Bamboo is harvested and cured to stabilize its fibers

Artisans shape, buff, and polish each piece. Surfaces are refined repeatedly for perfect glide. Tips are tapered by hand for balance and precision. Every needle is inspected one-by-one before packaging. The result is a tool that feels alive in the hands — warm, smooth, and expertly made.
