Product Questions

Where are your products manufactured?

The color of the yarn has transferred to my bamboo needles. What should I do?

Seeknit Interchangeable Circular Needles

What are M1.8, M2, and M4?
Depending on the thickness of the needle tip, there are three sizes of metal fittings used for interchangeable needles and cords. The same size fittings can be used to connect needles and cords. They are joined by turning a screw.
Could you let us know how to use converters?
A converter allows you to connect needles and cords with different fitting sizes.
However, it can only be used to connect large-sized needle metal fittings and small-sized cord metal fittings.
How do I use the stoppers included interchangeable circular needle sets?
By attaching the stopper to the end of the cord, you can use it as a flex single-pointed needle. Or you can keep the stitches from sliding off while working on your project.
