The asymmetrical circular needle is a Kinki Amibari original product that was developed in 2010 to make knitting small diameter tubes, such as socks, more comfortable. One of the needles is just one centimeter shorter than the other and that makes a huge difference in terms of smoothness and comfort.
Kinki Amibari's exclusive original 23cm Asymmetrical Circular Needles were developed for use with sock yarn, and are available in diameters from 2.00mm to 6.00mm.
Asymmetrical Circular Needles have one short needle and one long needle. Put the stitches on the short needle and work through with the long needle. Since the moving needle is longer, it is easier to hold, making these suited for small circular projects such as socks and sleeves.
Each Kinki Amibari knitting needle is diligently handmade from 100% specially selected environmetally friendly Moso and Timber bamboo grown in Japan.
Founded in 1916, Kinki Amibari offers 100 years of expertise. All Kinki Amibari circular needles feature a flexible rotating joint that prevents twisting, and a flexible cord allowing for smooth knitting.
Kinki Amibari takes great pride in the quality of their products. We have confidence that the quality, beauty, and practicality of these needles will bring you joy for years to come!
