What is casein?
Believe it or not, these needles are actually made from cow's milk! Casein has been described as the "most beautiful of plastics." Meant to mimic the feel of ivory and tortoiseshell, these light and flexible needles are especially good for those suffering from arthritis or repetitive stress injury.

Features:

• Manufactured from the purest edible grade rennet casein
• Casein is the protein of milk and is supplied from a naturally renewable ecological resource
• Casein is biodegradable and environmentally friendly
• Casein is an insulator and non-static eliminating “fluffy” knitting
• Casein is a non conductor and ideal for arthritic knitters
• Casein is warm to the touch and comfortable to hold
• Needles are hardened to the perfect blend of flexibility and rigidity to create a firm comfortable knitting tool
• The glass smooth polished surface allows fast effortless knitting
• Virtually noiseless in use
• Needles have a lustrous, flawless look of a piece of jewelry
• Perfectly hand tapered points for faster knitting

Note: Both the Ivoré and Timbergrain needles are made from casein. They are just dyed differently to mimic ivory and tortoiseshell finishes.
