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. For those with dedicated craft spaces, the machine offers the option of being bolted down instead of clamped. 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 Sock Knitting Machine.
- 1 table mount adapter (for use with clamps).
- 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).
- 2 clamps.
- 1 loom pick.
- 1 crochet hook.
- 1 latch hook.
- 1 needle lifter.
- 1 measuring tape.
- 1 ruler.
- 1 snip scissors.
- 1 cable cuff.
- 2 rip cords.
- Stitch markers.

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!
I followed the instructions to install,but I am left with two parts I don't know where they fit. I took a picture
beautifully made, just need to find a suitable table to mount it on and get cranking :)

I love my new csm. Spent months researching which type to purchase and which one would fit into my budget. Am so glad I chose Sound Yarn & Fibre. It’s worth every penny. Rachel was very patient answering all my questions. I ended up getting the csm, all the cylinders, yarn mast and tool box. Thank you very much Rachel..
I looked it over and it seems strong and the right size. I thought the grey on the bottom was interesting. I wondered if it was for reinforcement or differentiation. I still have to use it. Working on a ten sock colorwork project right now from the 54 needle cylinder now. I plan to use this cylinder for my grandchildren. Thank you!
a few minor things were missing but sent out right away.
would suggest that maybe a little info on heel forks would be good for the beginner.
good customer service-no complaints
machine works as it is supposed to!!
The CSM is well made and works well. The customer service is amazing and I am thankful to finally be fulfilling my dream of a CSM machine.
All is working well. I was struggling immensely getting it to start a tube, but I watched a youtube video that helped. She said, "Take things slowly. This is a hobby so take it slow" I was pretty high strung at the moment so it helped me calm down and enjoy it. I made my own, temporary setup bonnet by crocheting a picot edge on an older knitted tube, and temporary weights, legumes in a thin sock, and tried again. This time it 'actually' worked lol.
I'm looking forward to a very long time with this 'hobby' and intentionally "taking it slow".
Thank you!
the package came with everything listed on the website and for a refurbished machine - I could not tell what had been done to it.
it is in fantastic condition and I love the color
it cranks smoothly and the videos on the site were so helpful in getting things set up
