Care of needles:

Bamboo needles are made of a natural material, so avoid strong force, and handle with care. Keep in mind , as each needle is made from bamboo, each one will reflect the unique individual grain and colour of the raw material. Avoid moisture and refrain from storing in a humid environment. The needles can be polished using solid wax and a soft cloth, should the need arise.
