A circular needle shaped by natural olive wood
Rundstricknadel Olivenholz 319 combines the distinctive character of olive wood with carefully considered construction. The exceptionally hard wood makes it possible to create finer, longer tips. Their slender shape helps you locate and pick up stitches precisely while following a pattern. It is a considered choice for knitters who care about the tools in their hands as much as the project taking shape on their needles.
Finished with organic wax for lasting protection
The olive wood tips are treated with organic wax using a special process in which the wax is burned into the material. This preserves the protective surface layer for much longer than a conventional coating. The natural wood remains visible and distinctive, while its hardness provides the strength required to form the refined tips.
The wood comes from olive trees that no longer bear fruit. No tree is cut down specifically to make these needles. This gives an existing natural material a new purpose and provides clear information about its source. It is a meaningful detail for knitters who value transparency when choosing the tools that accompany their creative work.
Every Rundstricknadel Olivenholz 319 is unique
Olive wood is a natural material with individual characteristics. As a result, no two needles look exactly alike. This variation is not a printed or artificial decorative effect; it comes from the wood itself. Each needle therefore has the quiet character of a personal tool, ready to become part of your knitting routine from one project to the next.
Materials and manufacture
- Tips: olive wood finished with organic wax
- Sleeves: brass
- Cable: black plastic
- Manufacture: made by Addi in Germany
Rundstricknadel Olivenholz 319 is currently transitioning to the Black Edition. During this period, the needle supplied may have either a black or a gold cable. Future production will be fitted exclusively with black cables. This temporary variation concerns the colour of the cable rather than the stated materials used for the tips and sleeves.
Tip lengths matched to the circular needle format
The length of each wooden tip depends on the total length of the circular needle. Circular needles measuring up to 50 cm have 90 mm tips. For circular needles measuring 60 cm or more, the tips are 125 mm long. These proportions pair the cable format with the fine, extended tips made possible by the strength of olive wood.
Choosing it for your next knitting project
As a circular needle, Rundstricknadel Olivenholz 319 can be used for work knitted in the round, including parts of sweaters or accessories when the selected length matches the pattern instructions. A circular needle can also hold work that is knitted flat. Before casting on, check the required needle length and make the swatch specified for your chosen yarn and pattern.
A thoughtfully made needle supports the pleasure of concentrating on stitch formation, textured patterns and an even knitting rhythm. The value of a quality tool is revealed in the projects it helps you create, well beyond a small difference in purchase price. It becomes part of the process behind a finished piece you are proud to wear, use or give.
