Lantern Moon has new wooden knitting needles coming out in September. They’re not quite here, but they will be soon.
I don’t even know what they’re called yet, but there’s an ad in the new Fall Vogue Knitting. They’re beautiful. They have the same signature needle top as the rest of the Lantern Moon needles.
These are the world’s first wooden needles that are made from Forest Stewardship Council certified and sustainably harvested trees. Very cool. They’re really lightweight, and have a dark gray finish that looks like slate. The finish has just a bit of “tooth” to it, so they’re not ultra slick. Just enough grab to keep stitches from sliding off before you want them to.
I had a chance to play with some sample needles, and I’m impressed. I hope you get a chance to try them out, too.
In other news, Lantern Moon is planning a re-design of their website. What would make the site better for you? What content do you want? How would you like things organized? If you have suggestions, please leave them in the comment section below.
Knit on!
I love LM needles, I actually only own on pair of straight ebony’s and one set of circs. and man, any chance i get to knit with them is bliss for me! They are smooth, and VERY well crafted! I have been saving up for another set in the fall, maybe these will be the ones!
Thanks for keeping us up to date!
What gorgeous looking needles! Makes you want to pick up some yarn and knit immediately!! Can’t wait to order some!
I purchased baskets from Lantern Moon about 6 (?) or 7 years ago and keep my current knitting project in it. It is round with handles. Not sure if it’s still available or not but so easy to stash the current project, yarn and needles and sits beautifully on the floor. A great piece!!
Can’t wait for them to arrive – they look gorgeous!!
