Product Details
This Nailbinding Horn Needle set is a return to an ancient art form, deeply rooted in history and tradition. This set of 5 needles has been handcrafted from ethically sourced ox horn, ensuring that each piece is not only functional but also carries with it a story of sustainability and heritage. These needles have a length of approximately 6 cm, making them ideal for various crafting projects.
Before the days of modern knitting and crochet, nalbinding was a method of fabric binding that allowed artisans to create unique garments using just a single needle. Imagine the creativity that flowed from the hands of those early crafters, as they passed their favorite yarn through a simple yet elegant tool, transforming it into beautiful and functional garments.
One of the standout benefits of these horn needles is their durability when compared to synthetic options. Unlike ordinary plastic needles, which can break easily and may not provide the same tactile experience, the horn needles are made to withstand the test of time. They are fully functional, allowing you to work with various types of yarn without the worry of snapping or wear and tear.
However, it is important to remember that these needles are natural products, and as such, variations in size and color should be expected. Nature is not uniform, and each needle will have its unique characteristics, much like the handcrafted garments you will create with them.
Over time, natural horn may develop a patina and can even crack, adding to the charm of the product. This aging process is part of the story each needle tells as it accompanies you through your own crafting journey. If you desire authenticity and a touch of history in your knitting process, embracing these natural needles will allow you to connect your craft to the ancient practices of the past.
