Laurel Hill is an innovative, environmentally friendly and socially responsible company dedicated to producing the highest quality handmade knitting needles, crochet hooks and accessories from renewable exotic woods at reasonable prices. Each wood is carefully hand selected, sized, sanded, polished and transformed into beautiful, functional works of art in the form of premium needlework tools.
Members of the Crochet Guild of America provided early tests for Laurel Hill's crochet hooks at trade events, and their invaluable feedback and suggestions were instrumental in the further development and improvement of the hooks, including the unique thumb rest that sets them apart from other brands.
Laurel Hill hooks and needles are crafted from Nam Oc, Trai and ebony woods and are available online through Crown Distributing at www.knittingstuff.net. For more information about Laurel Hill and their products, visit www.laurelhillonline.com.
