We took Tom’s famous taper and reproduced that beautiful convex curve in aluminum. In 2014, we refined the Northern Light™ needles, adding stainless steel threading for strength and a finer finish. Northern Light™ Anodized Interchangeable Knitting Needles are turned in New England from solid aluminum. The transition from shaft to taper is seamless. Whereas most needles have a concave taper, our tapers are convex curves which allow the yarn to flow effortlessly from needle to needle. Each needle is polished by hand before and after anodizing. The end result is a needle that is smooth, but not slick, affording the knitter greater control, and one that warms to the touch and stays warm while you knit, reducing hand fatigue!

Northern Light™ anodized needles can tip (the very points turn silver) depending on your knitting style. This does not affect the performance of the needles. It merely serves as a visual demonstration of how much you love using them!
