Silver Reed SK-860 Mid-Gauge Single Metal Bed Knitting Machine SK860 with 150 needles spaced 6.5mm apart

Knits Widest Range of Yarn


LIKE NEW.  Used to make two sweaters and then my eyes went bad.  Loads of fun and much faster than 'by hand'.

Features:

Note: Not for bulky, chunky, heavy textured 4 ply yarns that are slubby, nubby or other wise can catch on the needles, latchs, and eyes. Best to test your yarn with an actual single needle to see if it slides through without much resistance. Machine knitters often take a needle with them when shopping for yarn.

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.

Specifications:
* Stockinet
* Tuck stitch
* Slip stitch
* Punch Lace
* Fair Isle
* Weaving

 Q: I don't see the sinker plate in the photos. With the lack of the instruction manual, I want to be certain all the parts are there. Would it be possible to post a better photo of the contents?
A: Additional pictures have been posted. Thank you for your interest.

 Q: How old is this machine? Do the electronic patterns on the carriage still work? Are any pieces missing? Thank you.
A: Nothing is missing. It’s about 15 years old (used only once). I have done only manual patterning. I believe it needs a computer to electronic patterning.

 Q: Is the patterning on the machine only manual? Do you have a pattern controller EC1 or Designaknit cable
A: It’s only manual but has the capability of being computerized. I don’t have a pattern controller EC1 or Designanit cable. The machine is is very good shape, like new.
