Luxurious hand-carved Surina wood knitting needles are made from Surina wood obtained from plantations around Sundarban, India. The tree from which Surina wood is taken is locally known as “the elegant tree.” These trees are tall and very straight. They have tiny branches, and they produce a wood which is hard yet light in weight and light pink in color. In Kolkata (Calcutta), India, highly trained artisans turn this elegant wood into exceptional knitting needles and crochet hooks, highlighting natural grain, hyper smoothness of the wood, and handmade perfect finish. The polish is produced without the use of any harmful chemical or agent. No other wood can provide the look that Surina can. The needles are perfect in gauge and length. They are incredibly beautiful.
