Lantern Moon Ebony Single Pointed Knitting Needles

Lantern Moon Ebony Single Pointed Knitting Needles – My Experience

There’s something timeless about knitting with single pointed needles. They connect you directly to the rhythm of traditional making — just you, your yarn, and the steady click of the needles. The Lantern Moon Ebony Single Pointed Knitting Needles capture that simplicity but elevate it with sheer beauty and craftsmanship.

First Impressions

The first thing you notice about these needles is their smooth, polished surface — that signature Lantern Moon “liquid silk” finish. The ebony wood feels warm and balanced in the hand, offering just the right amount of grip without slowing the flow of stitches. Whether you’re working with lace-weight mohair or a plump aran wool, the glide is effortless.

I started using them for a ribbed scarf project and quickly realised how comfortable they are over longer sessions. The wood stays warm, never cold, and the lightness reduces hand fatigue — a real gift for those marathon knitting evenings when you tell yourself, “just one more row.”

Why It Works for Me

The tips are perfectly honed — fine enough to handle detailed stitch work, yet rounded just enough to prevent splitting. Lantern Moon offers them in two lengths (25cm and 35cm), which makes them versatile for everything from smaller accessories to more substantial pieces. The balance between length, weight, and tip shape makes knitting on them feel natural and intuitive.

The attention to ethical sourcing also adds to their appeal. Knowing that the ebony comes from authorised Indian stockyards, following strict environmental standards, makes the experience feel as responsible as it is luxurious.

Everyday Use

These needles improve with time — the natural oils in the wool gently polish them, making them even smoother with use. Lantern Moon suggests occasional care with a soft cloth and a touch of beeswax, but honestly, mine already feel better after every project. The eco-friendly packaging is another thoughtful detail — recyclable, fabric-based, and printed with eco inks — a lovely reflection of the brand’s mindful approach.

Final Thoughts

Lantern Moon’s Ebony Single Pointed Knitting Needles are everything I love about knitting distilled into one beautiful tool: calm, elegant, and made to last. They’re the kind of needles that remind you why you fell in love with the craft in the first place — simple, soothing, and utterly satisfying to use.
