This new company is an exciting addition to the world of needle working. Eleanor Francis Designs will be working hard to bring you some of the finest product offered. Starting with our handmade Surina Wood Knitting Needles and Crochet Hooks. These tools feel as magical in your hands as they are lovely to look at.
All of our wooden knitting needles are made from Surina wood, which are grown on plantations around Sundarban, in India. The tree from which Surina wood is taken is locally known as "the elegant tree". These trees are tall, very straight, have tiny branches and produce the wood which is very hard yet light in weight, light pink in color and exceptional for woodworking. Highly trained and skilled artisans turn this elegant wood into exceptional knitting needles. Taking time and care, the artisans highlight the natural grain and hyper smoothness of the wood. This dazzling finish is done by hand without the use of any harmful chemical agents. Hot stamping in both Metric and US sizes completes the distinctive look and feel that only these needles can provide. No other wood has the same personality as Surina.
In addition to our fine needle selection, we will be offering Shawl Pins, Needle Cases and Recycled Silk Yarn.
