Lantern Moon New Product Roundup

[@vivianpowell1732]

If I understood correctly, you can use the new Lantern Moon cables (coated stainless steel with no memory) on any Knitters Pride tips. So if for example you have a KP Ginger interchangeable circular set, you can use the Lantern Moon cables with the Ginger tips. That is a huge plus. For me, this would mean I could give my two KP interchangeable sets an upgrade with cables as good as the ones on my ChiaoGoo interchangeable set.

[@recreationalknittingpodcast]

And from what I understand, also Lykke.

[@Dragon-Slay3r]

Kp ginger? Ok sir I'm poor I'm sorry

[@vivianpowell1732]

@@Dragon-Slay3r I have a suggestion for you. Hobby Lobby has a wonderful set of acrylic interchangeable needles made by Knitter's Pride Pro. The needle tip sizes range from US 4 through US 11, including both sizes 10 and 10.5. Cords will make needle lengths of 24", 32", and 40". The set also includes end caps and cord keys. I believe the current price at Hobby Lobby is about $22. I paid $18 for my set about 5 years ago. I have really enjoyed using these needles. The acrylic tips make the needles light and comfortable. They have just the right combination of smoothess and grip. Very compatible with most yarns. They come in a nice case. Nothing about them has broken, and I use them a lot. I think you will be pleased with the quality and value of this set of interchangeable needles.

[@moinnz]

What a lovely kit. I wish we could buy many of the lovely knitting gear here in New Zealand. Thank you so much for your show. I have learnt so much watching your videos. I took up knitting a year ago to help with PTSD symptoms. I was ab absolute beginner but now I can knit in the round, do cable and kind of knit with dpns. Thank you again.

[@CookingWithTovia]

I’m back and I got my needles this morning. I ordered the 4 inch ones as I like knitting with shorter needles. I attached the needles to my current knitters pride cord that the work is on - the needles connected seamlessly as you said. I really love these needles, mg stitches are sliding so quick that I’m knitting even faster. So far these are the best needles I’ve ever own in my life.

[@angelazuniga-jones9539]

Did you order from Laurel Hill? If so when did you place your order? I’m trying to see when I might get mine 😂

[@CookingWithTovia]

@@angelazuniga-jones9539 I ordered mine from Amazon- the shipper was Fabulous Yarns - i ordered them on the same day this video came out and I got them on Saturday. I ordered the 4 inch needles, i did have to buy longer chords for that set.

[@pociolkap4467]

Have you tried the supposedly 4” needle tips with the so called 16” cords? The tips are actually 4.25” and the cable is 7.5”. Impossible to use. The tips are sloppy, it’s like they aren’t even the same type. The same size, yet one is long and narrow, the other one is thick and short. Really disappointed with the poor quality for the price.

[@angelazuniga-jones9539]

Very valuable, we had to stop exporting this wood from our country due to the fact that the trees were growing extinct!

[@MG-mp8rw]

I have been knitting for 25 years, I never run across this brand. When I started I didn’t have much money (I still don’t 🙃), I didn’t know anyone who would teach me to knit, so I had to teach myself using a small booklet that I bought in Woolworth (how about that for memory lane?). The only needles they had were the Boye metallic, different colors that peeled off at the tip after a while (and I could hear the clickety click all the time🤣). Those knitting needles you have show us are beautiful and makes me wish I had known the Lantern Moon brand. Thank you for introducing it to me, I’ll be on the look out now

[@debrastiens6216]

Thanks for a great review. I always enjoy seeing your dogs wandering around behind you through the window!

[@wheeltrish]

I have a full set of Lantern Moon fixed circs from about 20 years ago. I don’t use them much now because I didn’t love the plastic cords, as much as I loved the needles themselves. I will have to check out the interchangeables with the new cords. Or maybe I’ll get one or two pairs of fixed in the sizes I use most. Thanks for showing these.

[@katrinkarlsdottir]

I am glad to see the return of lantern moon!

[@darlenefarmer5921]

Very, very nice! I've never heard of this brand. I will check it out. Thanks.

[@aussiesandy]

Hi Staci I have just received my Heirloom needle set and wow how gorgeous are these, I absolutely agree the Ebony timber is super smooth and warm to the feel, they glide through the yarn with absolutely no effort. The yarn box is so pretty and handy fitting quite a large skein / cake with feeding hole and handle that you can take anywhere. Fabulous products. Thankyou for showing.

[@marybethkress4859]

Of course I remember Lantern Moon, I still use mine all the time. And so, I just ordered a set!

[@terria9739]

I really loved seeing all the goodies in this box from Lantern Moon. I may need to add their cables and needles to my birthday list! Thanks!

[@mariajones8912]

Thank you Staci for this review. I loved my Lantern Moon needles! For me they were the best on the market & I was very sad when they were no longer available. As I now use interchangeable needles I will have to save up for a set.

[@JacqueDooley]

Oh Staci, I love your demonstration on the Lantern Moon needle set. For me, who has arthritis in my fingers, the Lantern Moon tool that tightens the needle to the cable is a game changer. I have Knit Pick needle set. It has been good to me, but I hate the little key tightener. I can’t grip it. Now I need help tightening and loosening cable from needle. I have several Knitters Pride and Addi knitting needles with attached. Invariably, knitting pattern calls for size I don’t have. Can’t wait to purchase Lantern Moon.

[@theastewart6721]

This is the third review of this set I’ve seen. Everything is really beautiful. Thanks for explaining that last item. I was never sure what it actually was. One review said that they were 24 karat brass not gold. Will have to check it out. Either way, thanks for sharing. Not in my budget at the moment. I’ve got 7 sets of interchangeables so I’m good. 😊

Weep, weep, I just sold my knitters Pride set because I had switched over to Chiaogoo - because of the cords. I will definitely let my wool shop know about these as they too have started switching a lot of their product to Chiaogoo for that reason,. Many of their customers have Knitters Pride sets and they would gobble these up 🥂

[@wendyellis6402]

I recently ordered the Lantern Moon set you show, and I beg to differ regarding the cord. Maybe over time mine will uncurl and lose their memory, but right now I’m using them for the first time, and the curl is driving me nuts. Otherwise, the tips are wonderful for the splitty yarn I’m using for my project. The ebony is so warm and smooth. I’m trying to get the cord to relax, but it’s very frustrating. I’m loving the stitch markers, and they are wonderful for the fine Shetland lace project I’m currently knitting. It has double YOs, and these markers keep them in line. They also do not snag. Incidentally, I’m working this project with my Chiao Goo Lace Twist needles. Thanks for your review ❤

[@andrewandtraceybell1881]

Those needles look gorgeous! I guess my main question is how are they sourcing the ebony timber?

Right lol 😂🤣

[@druidsongevergreens]

Been using the 4” ancestry set for a month and I love them. The only negative is that they’re not ideal for lace work due to the swivel joins having some gap. Everything else I have made with them was an excellent experience. I haven’t tried the fixed cord join though, so maybe that would work with lace.

[@HarobedKnits]

Thanks for the review! Yes, you're right, I'm excited! Two things I wanted to ask. 1. You didn't mention needle points. Sharp, medium, or blunt? What's your opinion? 2. I use a small cup without a handle stuffed with poly fill, covered with a crocheted top to hold my needles, cable needle, darning needle, and dropped stitch needle/hook and scissors. It's an amazing help. Does Miss Sheep have a solid fill or poly fill body? Thanks!

Thank you so much for the review! The needles looks beautiful! Quick question, I am used to my Hiya hiya needle set, and I’m curious about the sharpness of the needle points. Are they sharp enough for lace work? If you could post an answer I would greatly appreciate it thank you so much.

If you want a cheap awesome option. Zing interchanges. I paid for signature needles. Like the worlds most expensive. I actually prefer zing!!

[@jq7136]

Re Liz’s “zing” needle reply- Zing are metal and slippery for newer knitters. These wood are easier to knit with and good to hear they are smooth, but I wonder at all black, like if knit with dark yarn gets hard to see, so I prefer lighter wood Knitters Pride needles like their ginger set.

[@02makee]

I’ve been interested in switching to swivel cords rather than fixed but I was wondering if anyone knew if there was a huge quality difference in these cords compared to knitters pride mindful swivel cords? If I can I’d like to save a little but don’t want to regret missing out on these cords if there is a noticeable quality difference. Also will they fit onto my knit picks needles?

Sounds like a lot of us have many different brands and types of needles. My question is being on a tight budget does or will these cables work on other brands of tips of interchangeable i realize the screw in on the cable end but wonder if any other brands with this type of end will interchange. From what i can tell these must be similar to the ChiaoGoo wire cable. If anyone can answer this i would love to know.

From my experience, Knitter's Pride cords fit all Knitter's Pride needles, but not other brands. (Maybe Lykke, I haven't tested it myself.)
