    I absolutely love the 4500 and all Knittax type machines. No weights. Short rowing and intarsia is the easiest on this machine of any machine.

    I have recently obtained a blue turmix. Its very simple, a little tempermental to get going, but soooo much easier to operate. (and its a genuine 2 bed machine.)

    I love these old machines just as much as I love my Brother KH270. These old machines are worth saving. People who say they're useless are just ignorant.

    I have a Knittax/ Knitmaster/ Knitking from 1953, approximately , and -I have just used it for knitting some scarves and some simple things. My problem is that my machine did'nt come with a user manual. I have tried to look at videos so that I might be wiser about different things. Just as the knobs on top of the slider and so on. Any advice on this would be appreciated.

    I am impressed by their ease of use. Does anyone know where to obtain new brushes for the carriage? Thank you for this video.

    Do these machines need sponge bars?

    • @singlentendre
      @singlentendre  3 роки тому

      These ones, no. They have a retaining cord not a sponge bar. This one also has a very basic Ribber as well!

      @@singlentendre I was lucky to get one yesterday. How would I check the retaining cord? Also it is called Knit king automatic - it was made in UK, the instruction book is called Knitmaster. I thought these were two completely different companies. Appreciate your help.
