Kit Notes Kit Contents ANCESTRY (9) ❂ BLISS (7) ❂ HERITAGE (5) ❂ GRACE (5) For fans of luxury wooden needles, you can't beat Lantern Moon’s interchangeable knitting needles. And these sets are stunning! Aside from the needles (described below), zippered sets are encased in beautiful Khadi silk, an historically significant Indian material. Exteriors feature elegant floral embroidery, and inside there's room for multiple interchangeable tips and cords.See "Kit Contents" tab for the contents of each set.4" sets are great for making smaller circumference circular needles (16" and 20"), and are also preferred by some knitters with smaller hands. These needles are made of Ebony, one of the world’s most valuable woods because it's extremely dense and hard, making it highly durable. Unlike other woods, Ebony's denseness allows it to be polished to a very high degree of smoothness.So, these needles have all the strength and stability of metal, but with the warmth and lightness of wood.The "liquid silk finish" on these lightweight fixed circular needles, plus the 24K gold plating on the high quality brass connector, guarantees snag-free even-glide knitting. And what tips them (pun intended 😬) into superstar status is their fabulous nylon-coated-steel cords, which (like Chiaogoo) ensures no twist and lies flat when stored. No curly plastic here!The tips are perfectly sharp, in our opinion. Sharp enough to glide under your yarn, but not so sharp as to hurt your fingers. The tips are meticulously honed and shaped to work well with every type of yarn. We find them to be the fastest of all the wooden needles we have tried. These needles are very special, and heirloom quality. We think you should give them a try.Need a case to organise your interchangeable needles? This one's perfect.And also, check out the gorgeous 5" Lantern Moon sets here.
