Bear Valley Circular Sock Knitting Machine (CSM)
Couldn't load pickup availability
Our very own design, 3D printed into reality. To see the machine in action follow our journey on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bearvalleyfibres
This Sock Knitting Machine was designed for ease of use. With quick-removable cams, yarn guide and row counter, you have full unimpeded access to every needle without any extra complicated steps, tools or machine disassembly. The machine can be clamped onto the edge of a table or desk for usage and easily removed and stored once finished. The machine is modular and upgradable, too!
Although they are helpful to have on hand the setup bonnets, weights and other accessories are available for purchase separately. If you would like a different size of cylinder, they are also available to purchase separately, just make sure you order extra needles so you have enough!
The recommended yarn weight to use with our machine is a fingering/sock weight.
Everything else you need to get started comes in the box:
- 1 circular sock knitting machine.
- 1 table mount.
- 1 set-up bonnet (72 needle size)
- 1 basic yarn mast with upgraded yarn guide in matching color.
- 3 cylinders of your choosing
- 1 cylinder spring.
- up to 72 compound needles, depending on the cylinders chosen (plus 3 spares).
- 1 digital row counter with mount (battery not included due to shipping restrictions).
- 1 loom pick.
- 1 crochet hook.
- 1 latch hook.
- 1 needle lifter.
- 1 measuring tape.
- 1 ruler.

LOVE my new CSM!! I have hand knitted and crochet for over 50 years , Addi circular machine for apx 8 yrs. So I took to my Bear right away! The quality of the Bear CSM is wonderful. I am not so familiar with 3D printing so I was skeptical. Very Happy!!
This CSM exceeds my expectations. I knew there would be a learning curve but the videos helped so much that it was no time before I had two sock tubes. I’m going hems and heels next. I can’t wait to to bust down my sock yarn stash so I can buy more.
Meine CSM ist heute angekommen bei der ersten Überprüfung war ich sehr begeistert von der Qualität. Ich bin sowas von gespannt , wenn ich sie aufgebaut habe und die Maschine in Aktion sehe. Vielen Dank an Rachel, die mir die Wartezeit, verkürzt hat…. Da ich viele Fragen hatte. Ein wirklich toller Service. Danke danke. Liebe Grüße aus Deutschland Maik
Ich bin glücklich und sehr zufrieden. Freue mich Euch gefunden zu haben. Jetzt heißt üben üben und nochmal üben. Warte jetzt auf den Ribber.
Very happy with my purchase
Excellent service and speedy delivery

Ich liebe diese Maschine!! Super Qualität einfache Bedienung urlaub etwas üben und schon klappt es.Ich muss gestehen mir im letzten Jahr über das Internet eine ähnliche Maschine gekauft zu haben..300€ teurer und totaler Mist.Mit sehr viel Ärger konnte ich sie zurück geben.War etwas.Einen skeptisch Aaaaaaaber diese Maschine funktioniert.Bin total Glücklich.Vielen Dank
The CSM is well made, I love using it. It's a steep learning curve but the support from Caroline and Rachel has been great.
Love this beautiful machine! Runs so smooth , excellent quality.
Looking forward to cranking!!!!
I had never used a CSM before but I wanted to be able to knit sock tubes to add toes and heels (the interesting part). The setup was easy as I used the bonnet. I had a problem with the first rows though until I realized that I needed weights. I hadn't purchased weights as I'm in the UK, but I found that a can of lentils placed in the bonnet worked perfectly. A tube for three pairs of socks took less than two hours - I just need to find time now to knit the toes and heels!
Here is the first pair of toe up socks off the bear Valley machine. Thank you again Rachel
I cannot recommend this CSM enough. Easy to set up and understand, I was knitting beautiful socks within a day of setting it up. The stitch definitions and tension is perfect. The mechanism is smooth and easy. After sale support from Rachel and Caroline is fantastic too if you have any questions .
Can always depend on quality items and service from Rachel
I am very excited about receiving this machine from my husband! Starting was more error than success, but am making small successes! Right now am struggling with dropped stitches and tension errors on the heel. I found many of the online videos helpful, but not specific to this machine, ie, where on the “clock” should the main mark and halfway mark be for heels. I am confident that I am making it up the bell curve, and will do a happy dance when I complete that first sock! Right now I am very proficient at picking up stitches and casting on, both with and without a bonnet (which I was able to complete!)! Not too bad for first week!
