A premium surface you can feel in every stitch
Lantern Moon shapes the Heirloom tips from ebony wood and gives them its liquid silk finish. The polished surface helps stitches travel cleanly while the natural wood retains a gentler touch than highly polished metal. Carefully tapered points support accurate insertion, and the 24K-plated brass connector creates a smooth transition from tip to swivel cable.
Warm wood, a smooth finish and measured yarn contact suit knitters who value flow without an overly slippery surface.
The dark ebony, brass-toned fittings and embroidered Khadi silk case form a coordinated set that is as satisfying to organise as it is to use.

- 1 cable creating an 80cm / 32in finished circular
- 1 cable creating a 100cm / 40in finished circular
- 4 wooden end caps
- 2 tightening tools
- 5 colourful tassel stitch markers
The tightening tools help secure the screw-fit joins, while the end caps let a cable hold live stitches after its tips are removed.
The zippered case uses historically significant Indian Khadi silk and features a floral embroidered exterior with organised spaces for tips, cables and accessories.
Yarn, patterns, scissors, tape measure, needle gauge and finishing needles are not listed as inclusions.
Size-range note: article 350301 includes the 10 diameters listed above. It does not include 6.50mm or 7.00mm, so check the pattern requirement before beginning.
Three swivel cables, three finished circular lengths
The stated length includes both attached tips
Lantern Moon measures each circular from needle point to needle point after both 13cm tips are attached. The bare cable is therefore shorter than the stated 60cm, 80cm or 100cm length. Select the finished length that suits the construction and stitch count.
- 60cm for suitable smaller rounds and compact project sections
- 80cm for many garments, shawls, flat rows and magic-loop methods
- 100cm for larger stitch counts, broad rows and longer loops
- Swivel connections allow the cable to rotate as the work moves
- Wooden end caps let a cable safely hold live stitches
Finished point-to-point lengths
One each of 60cm, 80cm and 100cm
60cm24in finished circular
80cm32in finished circular
100cm40in finished circular
Need a 40cm circular? Standard 13cm tips are too long to form that short circumference comfortably. Choose a compatible short-tip system or another small-circumference method.
A versatile set for garments, shawls and detailed everyday knitting
The included sizes cover many familiar knitting gauges, but yarn weight alone does not determine the correct tip. Begin with the pattern recommendation, make a tension swatch and change diameter until the finished fabric meets the required gauge and drape.
Garments
Use the 80cm or 100cm circular for many jumpers, cardigans, yokes and flat garment panels.
Shawls and wraps
Longer cables carry growing rows comfortably, while the tapered points support lace and textured stitches.
Accessories
Hats, cowls and selected sleeves are possible when the diameter and circular method suit the project.
Flat knitting
Turn at the end of each row and let the flexible cable carry the weight of wider work.
Pattern first, fibre second: smooth, textured, woollen and plant-fibre yarns can all behave differently on the same diameter. Your swatch is the best guide to tip size.

How to assemble and care for the Heirloom set
Select the tips
Begin with the pattern recommendation and confirm the diameter by knitting and measuring a tension swatch.
Choose the cable
Select the 60cm, 80cm or 100cm finished length according to the construction and number of stitches.
Tighten securely
Screw a tip onto each end and use the supplied tightening tool for a firm final hand-tighten.
Store clean and dry
Wipe the tips after use and return all components to the case once they are clean and completely dry.
Protect the ebony and joins: avoid soaking, strong cleaning products, excessive heat and tools such as pliers. Guide stitches over the connector and retighten by hand if a join begins to loosen.

Lantern Moon Heirloom 13cm Set FAQs
Is 350301 the correct Lantern Moon article number?
Yes. Article 350301 identifies this 10-pair Heirloom 13cm interchangeable set. The product GTIN is 8907628061739.
How many needle tips are included?
The set contains 10 matching pairs, which is 20 individual tips, in 3.00, 3.25, 3.50, 3.75, 4.00, 4.50, 5.00, 5.50, 6.00 and 8.00mm.
Are 6.50mm and 7.00mm included?
No. The set moves from 6.00mm directly to 8.00mm. Check your pattern and purchase the required compatible size separately if it calls for an omitted diameter.
What are the Heirloom tips made from?
The tips are made from ebony wood with Lantern Moon's liquid silk finish. Their connections are made from 24K-plated brass.
Are the cables swivel cables?
Yes. The three nylon-coated stainless-steel cords have swivel connections that allow the cable to rotate as the knitting moves.
How are the cable lengths measured?
The stated 60cm, 80cm and 100cm lengths are the complete point-to-point circular lengths after both 13cm tips are attached. They are not the bare cable lengths.
Can these tips make a 40cm circular?
No. Standard 13cm tips leave too little flexible cable for a practical 40cm circular. Use a compatible short-tip system or another small-circumference method.
Can I knit flat with this set?
Yes. Turn the work at the end of every row as you would with straight needles. The cable carries the stitches and the weight of the growing fabric.
Can I use it for hats, sleeves or socks?
Yes when the included diameter and a suitable construction method are used. Small circumferences may require magic loop, travelling loop, DPNs, two circulars or shorter tips.
What do the wooden end caps do?
End caps screw onto a cable after its tips are removed, allowing live stitches to remain safely parked on the cable.
What is Khadi silk?
Khadi is a historically significant Indian textile. Lantern Moon uses it for the Heirloom zippered case and finishes the exterior with floral embroidery.
Are the tassels decorative or functional?
The five tassels are stitch markers. Place them on the needle to identify repeats, shaping points or other positions in the pattern.
Are other KnitPro or Lantern Moon components compatible?
This set uses Lantern Moon's screw-fit interchangeable system. Check the connection family and product specification before mixing components, especially short, mini or another brand's parts.
Is every tip suitable for every yarn?
No fixed tip diameter suits an entire yarn category. Pattern gauge, yarn construction and individual tension determine the best size, so always swatch first.
How should I care for the ebony tips?
Keep the tips clean and dry, avoid prolonged soaking, high heat and harsh cleaners, and store them in the case after use. Stop using any component that becomes cracked, rough or distorted.
Bring warmth, precision and beautiful organisation to every project
Lantern Moon Heirloom 350301 combines useful fine-to-mid-size coverage with liquid-silk-finished ebony, smooth brass connections and a richly embroidered Khadi silk home.
