Lantern Moon Ebony Interchangeable Circular Knitting Needle Tips 5" (13cm) US 10.75/7mm — 24K Gold Connectors, Silky Glide

Lantern Moon Ebony 5" interchangeable circular needle tips in US size 10.75 (7mm) are short, luxurious ebony tips that attach to cords for smooth circular and flat knitting with a silky wood feel.

These 5-inch (13cm) interchangeable circular needle tips are carved from fine Indian ebony and finished for effortless stitch glide. The compact tips pair with Lantern Moon kink-free cords via plated brass connectors, giving you a premium, adaptable needle set piece suitable for sleeves, hats, and small-circumference in-the-round work. Laser-sized markings and a deep black sheen make them both practical and elegant for handknitters who want durable, attractive tools.

How do these short interchangeable tips make small-circumference knitting easier?

The 5" length keeps your stitches close to the join so the cord doesn't bunch up, which simplifies knitting narrow tubes and tight rounds. Short tips also reduce yarn dragging and help maintain even tension around small diameters.

• 13 cm tip length designed for sleeves, cuffs, baby hats, and other small projects
• US 10.75 / 7 mm gauge for chunkier yarns without bulky handling
• Seamless cord-to-tip connection avoids bunching at joins

What makes Lantern Moon ebony different from other needle materials?

Indian ebony offers a fine, tight grain and a naturally dense strength that resists wear while still feeling warm in the hands. The polished ebony surface gives you a slightly grippy but silky glide, balancing control with speed across many yarn types.

• Hard, fine-textured ebony resists dents and maintains shape
• Polished finish for snag-free yarn movement and tactile comfort
• Dark, lustrous appearance that ages gracefully with use

How do the connectors and markings improve the knitting experience?

The tips use 24K gold-plated connectors that thread smoothly into kink-resistant cords, creating a steady join that keeps stitches moving without catching. Laser-printed gold size markings remain readable after repeated use so you can identify the gauge at a glance.

• 24K gold-plated connectors for corrosion resistance and smooth joins
• Kink-free cords that hold shape while allowing flexible movement
• Gold laser-printed size markings for long-lasting legibility

How should I use and care for these ebony interchangeable tips?

Treat the tips gently and store them away from extreme humidity to preserve the wood’s integrity and finish. Wipe them with a soft cloth after use and avoid harsh solvents; occasional conditioning with a small amount of natural oil will help maintain luster.

• Store in a dry case to prevent warping or finish degradation
• Clean with a soft, dry cloth; use minimal natural oil if needed
• Hand-tighten connectors to protect plating and threads

Who is this for: These Lantern Moon 5" ebony interchangeable tips are ideal for knitters who work lots of small-circumference projects or prefer a premium wooden tip with natural grip and warmth. They suit makers using thicker yarns at a 7 mm gauge who want durable, attractive needles that pair with interchangeable cords for maximum versatility.
