Lantern Moon Legacy Review – Interchangeable Knitting Needles with Timeless Craftsmanship
The Lantern Moon Legacy set is one of those tools that instantly elevates even the simplest project. Opening the khadi silk case to reveal the deep ebony sheen of the tips, I knew straight away that this set would become a staple in my knitting basket. Compact, elegant and beautifully balanced, it exudes quiet quality.
First Impressions – Ebony with a Silk-Smooth Finish
The set includes five pairs of 13cm tips, ranging from 3.25mm to 5.00mm, which are the sizes I use most frequently. The ebony wood has Lantern Moon’s signature “liquid silk” finish, allowing stitches to glide smoothly without snagging. The warmth of the wood makes longer knitting sessions comfortable, while the finely honed points provide the precision needed for lace and cables, yet remain gentle enough for plain knitting.
Why Knitters Value This Set
The 13cm tip length feels well balanced — stable and controlled without being cumbersome. Two swivel cords, in 60cm and 80cm lengths, offer flexibility for a wide range of projects from scarves and shawls to jumpers and cardigans. The gold-plated connectors add elegance while ensuring seamless joins, keeping stitches flowing without interruption.
Everyday Knitting Experience
The included accessories enhance the practicality of the set. Wooden end caps are sturdy, tightening tools are useful, and the tassel stitch markers bring charm and colour. The embroidered khadi silk case, machine-washable and durable, keeps everything secure while also feeling special each time it is opened.
Final Thoughts – Essentials with Elegance
The Lantern Moon Legacy set may not contain a huge number of sizes, but that is part of its appeal. It offers the essentials, beautifully crafted, in a form that feels timeless. For me, it provides both ease and enjoyment in everyday knitting, which is exactly what I want from tools I use so often.
