Lovely alternative to metal, and a different weight and feel than Bamboo. A beautiful wood with a unique grain is processed in many steps, partly by hand, into fine and durable needles for knitting and crocheting. Provide a warm and natural feel in the hands, which can be quite comforting during long knitting sessions. A good set of knitting needles becomes a good friend, and our Olivewood knitting needles are a very good needle.
