How could anyone know if the wood is organic?!<\/p>\n<p>Jens Wanell knows. He\u00a0has produced\u00a0wooden knitting needles\u00a0since 1977 and his\u00a0needles can be described as 100% Organic, since they are made from reforested Danish tree. They are produced without the use of binders or lacquer, with short transport between factory and store, and energy used in the fabrication\u00a0comes from wind\u00a0energy. The needles\u00a0is polished and coated with a thin layer of wax and becomes better and better in use. They\u00a0absorbs moisture from the fingers and the yarn so that the yarn slide more easily, giving less tension in the arms and shoulders. That one of the reasons I love wooden knitting needles!<\/p>\n<p>I got to know Jens and his needles when I was working in a Waldorf school &#8211; the needles is perfect for kids! Later on Jens gave my a lot of needles for at charity knitting project, which I will tell you about an other time.<\/p>\n<p>The best wishes for a wonderful 2015.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.scandinavianknit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/wanell-sustainable-knitting-needles-e1420042194456.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-68 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.scandinavianknit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/wanell-sustainable-knitting-needles-e1420042194456.jpg\" alt=\"http:\/\/woolful.com\/woolful-podcast-episode-4-nomadic-knitting-self-sustainability-shearing-building-fiber-mill\/\" width=\"462\" height=\"323\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The other day I listened to Woolfulls podcast about the process of the wool and sustainability.
