For fans of luxury wooden needles, you'll LOVE Lantern Moon's DPNs.

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 - which is extremely important in DPNs, when you're looking for needles which won't slip out of your stitches, but also strong enough to not snap like toothpicks.

The "liquid silk finish" on these lightweight needles guarantees snag-free even-glide knitting.

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.

These DPNs are perfect for socks, cuffs and baby knits.

• Each pack contains a set of 5 DPNs
• 15cm (6") long
