SILVER REED MID GAUGE SK860 KNITTING MACHINE

$1489 + $35 shipping =

The SK860 is the first of its kind anywhere!  With a 6.5mm needle pitch, the SK860 is designed to work with all the yarns typically used by hand knitters.  
By knitting yarns that fall in the top range for a standard gauge machine and in the lower range for a chunky machine, this machine can deliver the best of both worlds.
This machine is computer ready to connect to your PC, and utilizing the DesignaKnit Software for Knitters, you can download designs to the SK860 and your monitor will knit with you, row by row! Needle Pitch: 6.5mm. Number of Needles: 150 needles.

KC160 Carriage for the SK860

$369.25 + $20 shipping =

With the purchase of the KC160 carriage you can do intarsia. This carriage and arm is the carriage and arm that comes on the SK160. It is a full quality, but smaller, carriage capable of stockinet and has built in Intarsia. I use this carriage instead of the KH860 carriage if I don't need any automatic patterning features. The Intarsia feature allows you to knit as many colors in a single row as you like. Knit pictorial and geometric designs without floats! Lay your yarns over selected needles, manually, and pass the intarsia carriage over the needles to knit them back.
