KA, the oldest manufacturer of bamboo knitting needles in Japan, was founded in 1916 in Nara, by my grandfather.  Nara, the old capital city 1300 years ago is the origin of Japanese tradition and culture and a primary source of premium quality bamboo.

The industry started with the creation of bamboo ribs to stretch and dry the Japanese Kimono. New products were developed in the handcraft industry combining technology and precision engineering for the development of high quality and environmentally conscience products.  We sell worldwide and take pride in promoting health related research and the relaxing pastime of knitting.

Our premium knitting needles are made from select Japanese bamboo giving them a lightweight and warm feeling.  There are more then 500 kinds of bamboos in Japan.  We use only two kinds of the finest, aged bamboo, which are superior in density, flexibility, color and gloss.  With the passing of time and use, our needle�fs satin finish becomes even smoother. The proud traditions of quality and craftsmanship established by KA since it�fs beginning ensure the finest Classic Bamboo Knitting needle products for your pleasure.
