It is refurbished, works great!
Excellent product. Love my sock machine
I ordered a tool storage bin at the same time as my CSM and I’m so glad that I did. The CSM came with a lot of really useful tools and this little organizer keeps them all together. When the bin is open, there are two sides with fixed dividers perfectly sized to hold the tools plus some extras. I appreciate that the dividers don’t come loose, slide around, or fall out and become another thing that I need to hunt down. The bin closes securely for storage. No more wondering where all of my doodads have wandered off to. I love this thing!
Soft weights are made and I'm ready to go...thanks! My machine is so pretty!
Prompt service and great product. Looking forward to cranking out more socks!
Love the way they click. Love the way they feel in my hands. Very nice interchangeable needle set!
Me ha encantado!!! Es tal como se muestra en las fotos. Compré el paquete con todo lo necesario para empezar. Ahora toca practicar para conseguir unos calcetines perfectos.
Thanks for the 3 packages of Ashford's Corriedale Sliver wool in gorgeous colour combinations! Even better than I hoped!
Ich bin absolut begeistert von dieser Sockenstrickmaschine! Die Verarbeitung ist hochwertig, der Aufbau war unkompliziert und man merkt sofort, dass bei der Entwicklung viel Wert auf Benutzerfreundlichkeit gelegt wurde. Besonders gefällt mir, dass alle Nadeln gut zugänglich sind und sich viele Teile schnell entfernen lassen, ohne die Maschine aufwendig auseinanderbauen zu müssen.
Wie gut sich mit der Maschine stricken lässt, hängt allerdings auch sehr stark von der verwendeten Wolle ab. Mit passendem Sockengarn läuft sie wunderbar, während andere Garne etwas mehr Feingefühl erfordern. Das liegt aber in der Natur solcher Maschinen und nicht am Produkt selbst.
Zusätzlich habe ich einen Onlinekurs belegt, um den Umgang mit der Maschine schneller zu lernen. Diese Investition hat sich für mich definitiv gelohnt und hat den Einstieg deutlich erleichtert.
Dank dieser Maschine kann ich mir endlich einen lang gehegten Traum erfüllen: all die lieben Menschen in meinem Umfeld mit selbst gestrickten Socken zu versorgen. Ich freue mich schon auf viele weitere Paare und kann die Maschine jedem empfehlen, der Lust hat, sich auf das Maschinenstricken einzulassen.

I absolutely love this sock knitting machine! It is well made, easy to assemble, and you can tell that a lot of thought went into making it user-friendly. I especially appreciate how easy it is to access every needle without having to take the machine apart.
One thing I learned is that the knitting experience depends a lot on the yarn you use. With the right fingering or sock-weight yarn, the machine runs beautifully, while other yarns may require a bit more adjustment. That’s simply part of machine knitting and not a flaw of the machine itself.
I also took an online course to learn how to use the machine more quickly, and it made a huge difference. It helped me understand the setup and troubleshooting much faster.
Thanks to this machine, I can finally make a long-time dream come true: knitting socks for all the wonderful people in my life. I’m looking forward to making many more pairs, and I highly recommend this machine to anyone interested in sock knitting.
My dream of having a circulair sock knitting machine came true. Rachel answers all my questions. The delivery to The Netherlands was fast and perfect, the colour fantastic.
Now practice practice and practice…..
I have had my machine for over 2 years and I absolutely love it. I use it almost every day. The service and quality Rachel provides is great. Highly recommend it.
Fantastic quality starter machine. Highly recommend.
This machine is amazing and way better value than others I’ve seen. Rachel is helpful and has helped me to knit my first sock tube!!! Honestly go for it - sock cranking is fun x
It was a birthday present for my wife. She is really happy with it. Very solid build quality and after viewing YouTube also easy to operate. Thanks from the Netherlands..
I love my new machine!!! It seems to sturdy and well made, and was easy to get started on. I found the machine to knit smoothly, and didn’t experience any issues with stitches dropping, or managing the tension. While I have experience with flatbed machines, this is a little bit of a different vibe, though still pretty intuitive.
I found the booklet included and the YouTube videos to be really helpful for setting up my first crank. I also had questions while my machine was being made, and the team was very attentive and professional. Thank you for my machine :)
