Lantern Moon fixed ic cords are combined with their IC needles to create circulars of differing lengths, or to create a "flex" needle for those who like single points but don't want to carry the weight of their project in their wrists. These cords are made of stainless steel, lay flat, and uncoil easily. Gold connectors to match the needles. 14" cord to make 24" IC needle when combined with the 5" tips.
