 Silver Reed SK160 6.5mm midgauge knitting machine $845 (+$20 UPS Oversized, heavy box) The SK 160 allows you to start with a basic machine that you will never out grow because it grows with you. Learn the basic operation of the machine then add the optional Electronic Carriage and software when you are ready, to upgrade this machine to a SK 860.
Mid gauge, 150 needles, 6.5 mm needle spacing
Manual pattern selection: Stockinet, Tuck, Slip, Weaving, and Intarsia stitch types
for hand knit type yarns
Intarsia feature built in.
Upgradeable to SK860 with purchase of SK860 carriage. (full bed pattern area with optional electronic carriage)
The SK160 is the SK860 with a non-computer ready carriage. The SK160
is a great introductory machine that has proven very popular this season.
It looks exactly like the SK860 machine, but with a smaller carriage.
The advantage of the SK160 is that you can get into machine knitting for a
relatively low cost. Later, with the purchase of the SK860 computer
ready carriage, you can upgrade your SK160 to a SK860 machine.
The SK160 carriage has built in Intarsia, while the SK860 does not.
But if you upgrade to the SK860, you will not need to purchase the
Intarsia carriage for the SK860 because you already have that on the
SK160.
With a 6.5mm needle pitch, the SK860 is designed to work with all the yarns typically used by hand knitters. This model knits yarns that fall in the top range for a standard gauge machine and in the lower range for a chunky machine and the yarns that fall between, this machine can deliver the best of both worlds.
