The production routines do not rely on mechanized automation. Instead, the products benefit from the skilled and graceful human touch of the skilled Nepalese craftspeople that make them. From the brand: "We are happy and proud to support the growth and development of the local economy in Nepal. Revenue from the sales of LYKKE Crafts products also serve the community through varied benefit programs for the workers, their children, and the community. We appreciate and value the opportunity to employ this growing community of skilled craftspeople in Nepal and happily embrace the natural, human pace of production." BEST SUITED FOR Wooden needles are best for yarns that are a little more slippery - like cotton, linen, and silk - as the wood grain helps to create more friction. They're also great for beginners because the stitches won't slip off the needles as easily. Interchangeable needle sets are super versatile and you can easily have multiple projects going on at one time. This smaller set is perfect for any knitter who knits mostly in weights of yarn from sport to aran.
