Lantern Moon Heirloom Review – Interchangeable Knitting Needles in Ebony and Silk
The Lantern Moon Heirloom set is more than a knitting kit; it feels like a piece of craftsmanship to treasure. Opening the embroidered khadi silk case, with its delicate floral motifs, reveals polished ebony needles that gleam like jewels. It invites you to slow down, breathe and enjoy the rhythm of your stitches.
First Impressions – Ebony with a Liquid Silk Finish
The needles are made from ebony, one of the most prized woods in the world. With Lantern Moon’s signature “liquid silk” finish, they are smooth, warm and perfectly balanced. Stitches glide effortlessly without snagging, and the meticulously shaped tips strike the right balance: sharp enough for lace and cables, yet gentle enough to avoid splitting yarn. Holding them felt like an instant upgrade, not only to my project but to my knitting experience overall.
Why Knitters Value This Set
The Heirloom set includes ten pairs of tips, ranging from 3.00mm to 8.00mm, offering versatility for projects from delicate shawls to chunky garments. The 24-carat plated connectors add a sense of luxury while ensuring seamless joins. Paired with three swivel cords in 60cm, 80cm and 100cm lengths, the knitting experience feels smooth and uninterrupted, whatever the project size.
Everyday Knitting Experience
It is the thoughtful details that make this set stand out. Wooden end caps, small tightening tools and colourful tassel stitch markers add both practicality and charm. The khadi silk case is washable, durable and beautiful enough to display proudly. It keeps everything neatly organised while reflecting the same craftsmanship as the needles themselves.
Final Thoughts – A Cherished Companion
The Lantern Moon Heirloom Interchangeable Set has become one of my most valued knitting companions. It excels in function but also enhances how knitting feels: slower, smoother and more mindful. This is a set that elevates every project and makes the process as enjoyable as the finished piece.
