Brittany are committed to environmentally friendly processes, using birch that is sustainably harvested to make their products and using biodegradable packaging sleeves - you can even pop them in the compost pile! Wooden craft accessories are warm, smooth, and soft, making for a comfortable craft experience that's kind to your hands and to the planet. Birch in particular is perfect for this purpose as its tensile strength and stability maintains size, resists warping and allows for an extremely smooth surface. With a beautifully simplistic design that creates a delightful grip, Brittany Birch Crochet Hooks are just the right balance of utility, sustainability, and luxury.
