The Lumos Knitting Light is a neck-worn light: it rests around the neck and sits under the chin, shining down onto your hands and your work. Because the light comes from close by and moves with you, it lights the stitches without lighting up the whole room.
That makes a real difference with dark yarns, black and navy especially, where stitches are hard to read under ordinary lamps. It also helps with lace and fine yarn, when you need to see each stitch.
It suits evening knitters and crocheters, people who craft while others watch TV, and anyone whose eyes tire in dim light.
Good for
- Black, navy and other dark yarns
- Evening knitting on the sofa
- Lace and fine-gauge work
- Crafting while traveling or in low light
Using it
Position it so the light falls on your work rather than in your eyes, and try it in your usual crafting chair to find the angle. If you're working a dark yarn, good light also helps you count rows and spot dropped stitches. Pair it with a lifeline in difficult lace, and you'll have a much easier time fixing mistakes after dark. Because it's worn rather than set on a table, it goes wherever you sit, which is handy for knitting in the car as a passenger, on a dim train or in bed.
