The Silver Reed LK150 is the knitting machine we went all-in on after a market trip conversation with Felicia of Sweet Georgia Yarns — who is wildly enthusiastic about machine knitting and has the tutorials to prove it. It's a beginner-friendly mid-gauge machine that creates stockinette fabric fast, which means you can machine-knit the less exciting parts of a sweater and hand-knit the fun yoke.What it does well: Sport, DK, and Worsted weight yarns. Stockinette and slip stitch. Manual pattern selection. 40+ patterns on Ravelry for the LK150. 150 metal needles, 6.5mm spacing Dual tension yarn feed Includes: tension mast, main bed carriage, row counter, table clamps, latch tools, transfer tools, cast-on combs, weights, tapestry needle, gauge scale, instruction book, and more Dimensions: 42.52 x 8.07 x 6.3", 10 lbs Made in Japan 3-month limited warranty (manufacturing defects) $24 flat shipping via UPS Ground. No returns or exchanges. We also carry the Discovering Machine Knitting book if you want to go deep.
