Lantern Moon Straight Knitting Needles
Knitting has been around for over two millenia, with knitted items being found in ancient Egyptian tombs. What has changed are the tools we use. Improved technology means that knitting needles are more finely made–we have moved beyond two sticks and a string.
Why Lantern Moon?
Lantern Moon knitting needles are to knitting what a Rolls Royce is to driving–the experience is enhanced by using the best!
Lantern Moon handmade Rosewood Needles, Ebony Needles, and Palm Needles in Luxury Hardwoods make wonderful gifts for the knitting enthusiast.
Lantern Moon offers beatiful and functional tools made by skilled artisans using centuries old craftsmanship to create these tools and they are committed to the preservation of these artistic traditions.
How Lantern Moon Needles Are Made
Lantern Moon knitting needles are crafted in twenty-nine steps to produce an heirloom quality tool. Made from select hardwoods, these knitting needles use a “liquid silk” finishing process which guarantees an enjoyable knitting experience and prevents the splintering that can be experienced in a wooden needle.
Straight Needle Choices
We carry two different knitting needle lengths. 10″ length needles are great for projects like scarves or baby sweaters. 14″ length needles work well on adult size sweaters, shawls, and strip afghans. Anything larger should be worked on the Lantern Moon circular needles, which we also carry.
We carry three different types of Lantern Moon hardwood needles–rosewood, ebony, and palm. Each type of wood is beautiful and all three give you an exemplary experience. These knitting needles have lovely fluted tops in contrasting woods. Ebony has blondwood tops, palm has rosewood tops and rosewood size 3-9 has ebony tops and size 10-19 has palm tops.
Woods Used in Lantern Moon Needles
Rosewood refers to any of a number of richly hued timbers, often brownish with darker veining, but found in many different hues. All rosewoods are strong and heavy, taking an excellent polish, and are beautifully suited for knitting needles and crochet hooks.
Lantern Moon ebony knitting needles are in 10″. Ebony is a very dense black wood. Ebony has a very high density and will sink in water. Its fine texture, and very smooth finish when polished, have made it very valuable as an ornamental wood.
Palm wood or coconut timber is a hardwood-substitute from coconut palm trees. It is highly striated with darker colors and most unusual. It is a new timber resource that comes from plantation crops and offers an alternative to rainforest timber.
