Pony Knitting Needles - Maple - 35cm - 4.5mm

The needles are crafted from sustainably sourced maple wood, a renewable resource, and are polished without chemicals to ensure biodegradability.

The hand-painted knobs are designed to be securely attached. However, it's always good practice to check for tightness periodically, especially after extensive use.

The 4.5mm size is ideal for medium-weight yarns (like worsted or Aran). For very fine yarns, you would need a smaller gauge needle, and for bulky yarns, a larger gauge needle.

Wipe them gently with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid soaking them in water or using abrasive cleaners, as this can damage the wood.

It means that the materials used in the needles can break down naturally over time, without leaving harmful residues, contributing to environmental friendliness.

Maple wood offers a unique combination of lightness, strength, and a smooth, warm feel that many knitters prefer over metal or plastic. It's also an eco-conscious choice.

The vegetable dyes are chosen for their natural properties. While minimal color transfer might occur initially, it is generally safe for all yarn types and should stop after initial uses.

Ensure the needle surface is clean and dry. If snagging persists, it may indicate a small imperfection in the wood's polish; gentle buffing with a soft cloth can sometimes help.

Gently try to tighten the knob. If it remains loose, contact customer support for a replacement or repair advice.

Wood is a natural material. Minor variations in texture are normal. For significant roughness, ensure the needle is clean and dry, and consider a light buffing with a soft cloth.

As the knobs are painted with vegetable dyes, a small amount of color transfer may occur initially, especially with light-colored yarns. This should cease after the first few uses. Ensure the dye is fully set before prolonged contact with very light yarns.
