Knitter's Pride Ginger Knitting Needles are made birch wood offering a beautifully smooth, warm feel for comfortable knitting. Water absorption is negligible with Ginger needles leaving little chance of warping and enables the points to be sharp.
Please remember all wooden needles in the lower ranges (2-3.5mm) should be treated with appropriate care.
From the manufacturer: "By purchasing a set of Ginger needles, you are helping us make the world a better place... through knitting! These needles not only bring a smile to over 350 female artisans in Rajasthan, India, but also a job! We are so proud to say that we never refuse a job to women looking for work. Thank you for helping us provide jobs and carry on the 2,000 year old tradition of art and crafts in Rajasthan!"
